btw mcnord i think you should mold in one of 6litereaters splitters into the bottom of the bumper to give the bumper the dick harrell look.

see the bumper lip? cut out the shape of the bumper from the splitter, then cut a slit in the edge of the bumper. rivet brackets ever 3 inches or so from the splitter from the top and bottom of the bumper and then fiberglass it togeather. it might take some patience but i think it would definetly be unique

I was thinking of doing this as well. Before 6literEater was making his splitters I was going to use wood/foam/clay to come up with the initial shape then make a copy. I think a splitter would save some time.

McNord wouldn't be able to put a 6LE splitter on his car, look at the body kit/work he has done to the front of it. i'm sure he already has enough clearance issues without adding more to it. plus i think it'd look to cluttered with a splitter

I was kind of wondering how it would look being molded to the bottom of the gfx I already have and leaving the center open above the splitter similar to the camaro cup cars. Opinions?

McNord, I doubt that there would be any way to make it look good at all.

I say this, because it would have to be angled up to follow the contour of your ground effects.

ah i forgot you had a bodykit. well your still in the pre paint production so you still have some time to mess around. maybe find a spare camaro front bumper to cut up and play with and see how it looks without the gfx

one meelion dollars-lol....
I think there is a guy out here in AZ (I have never seen the car in person, just on tech) that did a wide body trans am. It was green and I think it looked good. He did a couple of things that I didn't like, he molded the rear bumper to the quarter and his gas door looked a little small, but those are minor things and just my opinion. Great concept though....

if you didnt have the bottom gfx piece thats right in front of the front wheels, i'd say go for it...but i dont think it can be tastefully done as it is right now.

quite frankly, i'm surprised i like your car as much as i do bc i hate gfx usually

You're gonna need to sand down a lot of the front GFX, like the part by the wheel wells, you're going to need to open the "slit" up more because without a large opening, you'll be restricting air flow... it could work. Just requires planning.

that kit is sick. McNord did a great job!

one thing I didn't see when reading that other thread was, whether the front fenders are replacements or just bondo'd over the originals??

I know the quarters went over the original.
