This is going to be my new front nose that will be mounted on my car one day.
(probably when it will be repainted)

Looks nice.......but you're other one looks nice?? NO too dissimilar either. Why create a new one when you already had perfection?

ill be totally honest here, I like YOUR own nose ,its closer to the show, in my opinion
your first nose is sometimes hard to tell between a screen grab and a replica

Hi Joao,
I have to agree with everything Peter & Steve have said...
As far as I'm concerned, your nose with the grills in it is sheer PERFECTION my friend.

The new front nose is not a new one I made.
Believe it or not, but it's an original one!!!
It needs some work, because it has a big damaged area in the point of the lower spoiler, but that can be fixed.
Further it also needs to be made completely smooth, to bring it back in all it's glory!!

well my friend, that is one heck of a testimonial to your noses then, if we fans like your noses more than an original then you must be doing something right

I think my own front nose has build up it's own good reputation, so that's probably the reason why so many like it.
I still love it myself, even when it's not perfect, but it has the right expression in it, that's the most important thing what counts.

Hi Joao, reputation helps, but your nose also has a very sleak elegant look about it.
I just know what I like the look of, and I prefer the look of yours to that original one.

I prefer your own nose too, lol, if thats an original nose then it must be one of the distorted ones, it actually reminds me of the car in the pilot episode where the car thieves take KITT for a spin, for some reason that car's front nose seemed to slope down in the middle too much, and that nose on your car looks exactly the same

The original front nose came most likely from a stunt KITT (1st season).
It indeed bends downwards a little, but that can be adjusted again.

Id say you have a modified version of this pilot nose. It slopes down quite alot by the looks of things. So it would lead me to believe that you have a modded original Scheffe nose if anything. Totally ruined it when they altered it. lol

hey Scott, slightly off topic here, but how did you get the squiggly thing over the a in Joao's name? I've been trying to figure out how to do that since I started speaking to him over 2yrs ago
Re: What do you think about this?!!!

Yeah, I think it's the same front nose as on the picture!
I have borrowed the front nose from an original KITT.
It's just unbelievable that the owner allowed me to borrow and mold it, this is really unique, so I'm very happy that the owner is such a extreemly nice person.
From who or where I got it do I keep a secret! (sorry!)
( Hey Tony, try this....press ALT, hold it, and then type 198 and let ALT go...and whoala there it is...ã!!! )

I'm going to make all the different versions that were in the episodes, but first I need to restore it again.
I don't want to spend to much money to it now, because I'm saving very hard for the special automatic tinted glass, which is going to cost me a fortune.
I want to buy that first (most likely this year), so I know for sure that I have it in my pocket.
I'm not going to install the front nose on my car yet, I'm going to do that when I'm going to repaint my car, so I still have time enough to restore the front nose.
