I like the front splitter, not really digging the side splitter though. Doesnt really go, since the T/A's already have that side groundfx on.

I agree now that splitter needs to be made and sold. Side spliters would look better without that arch in the middle of the factory side skirt

At $400 bucks for each one lets say you would need 20 preorders for someone like 6LE to even make them

I like the rounded front edge of that design.
Looks good, ...
Now if someone could simply duplicate & sell it at a REASONABLE cost.

Got rid of the side ground effects , thats just not workin on the TA lol .



Heres a pic of it off the car showing how it would have to be designed to work right . The blended in ground effect pieces on the front bumper curve under as they wrap around the front of the car . So that piece would have to be incorporated into the splitter to change the shape as it went around the corners . If that makes aaaaany sense lol .

Oh dear god PLEASE have 6LE pick this up. I was the first to throw money down on the diffuser and I would make damned certain that I threw down the first for this. ****, I'd buy two to get things going!

Derek, YOU ROCK! You are my new hero. That is amazing.

The LT1 looks great with the current 6LE splitter, but you're right: I'd also love to see what could come out of Derek's brain for that.

On a side note, Phantom- Is that a new sig pic? If not, I never noticed how damned good your SS looks. Is that an LS1 spoiler? And what is there to say about that color on a Trans Am. Better than your avatar...maybe. Sorry to go off topic.

I just showed this picture to my wife and she LOVES it. That says a TON considering she has HATED every other option similar to it from West Wings to 6LE's. Find a way to get this made, and I have the feeling you will make a big chunk of change.

Thanks John . I wish I had the means to make this , hell I even work in a mold shop . The costs thru my shop anyways would be slightly depressing to say the least

I can try at a LT1 car . The problem with both the Trans am and the Camaro in those years is the sloping angle at the bottom of the bumper covers . I was looking at the Camaro and just scratching my head of way to make one look intergral to the bumper cover like the 98-02 TA and Camaro one I did . Would definately take some creative design on that one .

I'm actually making a custom front splitter using the current 6LE splitter design as a base, then I'm using modeling clay to make the "molding" to the bumber, then I'll wrap that in Carbon. I'll post pics when finished.
