I think it'll look excellent.

What kind of reverse Ram Air hood is that? I've never seen it before.

Looks great man. I don't like the little splitters or what ever you want to call them on the front corners. I like the angle of the rear spoiler but think it would look better if it was incorporated into the actual spoiler. In the pic it looks like its a piece sitting on the factory spoiler.

I like when people use/emphasize that characteristics of their cars. 3rd gen, 4th gen. I don't like when people try to make their cars look like something they aren't.

yeah im not goin to put the side canards on my car. the spoiler is functional and adjustable. if it was part of the stationary spoiler it wouldnt do as much.

Not feeling the spoiler, the splitter with suspender cables or canards. Juat looks outta place on a 3rd gen camaro. Like its got too much going on or trying to hard. Not a jab. Just imo. Im big on 3rd gen camaros. I would not put those pieces on mine.
Now if 6le made a decent fitting, quality sunoco hood for 3rd gens. Im in line for one

Are you having them do the rear spoiler also or just the front splitter?

The nose of my trans am is obviously different but I was considering contacting him about making exactly what you are looking for in carbon fiber for my car. With the adjustment rods and all. Are you planning on having the rods or just a flat shelf like the 4th and 5th gens use?

I love the idea and it's one I've been thinking about for a while now. Are you going to do the same material as the splitters you posted or are you planning carbon fiber?

Will the rods be needed to hold it in place or no?

And what model Racing Dynamic wheels are on it?
