Default My $45 6LE Splitter and ZR1s are finally on

I got my car back today from the shop and finally put on my splitter and ZR1's. The wheels and tires were about $530 installed. Here are some pics

the splitters are usually $250 but since all the holes were off i got it for $45. the splitter itself gives the car more downforce, improves handling forces air to the airdam to improve cooling, and it looks amazing IMO

Hey Hitman; all looks great! That "splitter" looks great with the lines of the LT1 T/A.....and you can't go wrong with ZR1's.

hes seen this thread and the thread is still up where he was selling it for $25. I m keeping the side molding because i have yet to see another car with it painted like i have it, and the area behind my front plate looks horrible, so it stays on

+1 on the lowering and also get some window tint on there if possible. Even something as light as 35% will make that thing look a lot better!

The front bumper on our cars is not designed nor reinforced to handle any actual downforce these splitters generate.

Just look at going from the splitter on the Z06 to the ZR1 required additional bracing inside the bumper and those bumpers are attached a lot better than the F-body bumpers are.

Sorry but you don't understand how a splitter works... It is not scooping the air to create down force, there is no added force to the bumper.

It splits the air SPEEDING THE AIR UP under the car so due to pressure zones it creates down force on top of the car. Here's a video I made (as a joke but the physics are real)...

Also, this splitter has WAY more support than ANY Corvette splitter. They have 1.5' of bolt room, we have 3'. The "supports" you refer to are not supports. Those are called canards and they direct air around the tires to get rid of rolling resistance (I make those now as well).

It is not for 1/4 mile. It is for autocross and top speed runs. We tested ours and it showed increased stability at 150mph (car shook before, didn't afterwards)....

My buddy has video of his top speed Vegas run against a TT Stealth and somewhere Mike has video of my run.

I made them just to look cool and protect our bumpers, then when I took them to get produced the place I get them produced at actually does nothing but race cars, circle track mostly and had some input into the functionality.

All you have to do is check out the F-Body Road Racing site...

Whoa easy there internet badass... When you post on a public forum expect to have your posts responded to by more than just the person whom you "directly asked a question". Before you start spouting off a bunch of ignorant bullshit try to do a little research on the subject at hand. Don't say something then demand to be shown why you are wrong. Do a little research yourself on splitters, read through some of the 6Litereater Splitter threads, then come back into this thread and post your opinion. Oh and for your information the LS6 intake that you have listed as a mod comes stock on your car... if you really did buy this and install it as a modification, then you are a lot more retarded then you have shown thus far.
