whats the height of that tire? 35? Is that stock ride height or do you have 1" springs on it?? That looks hella nice man I gotta admit....they fill the wheel wells nicely. And I'm digging the splitter a little bit. I do think the sides (under the front QP) could be a little more contoured to the body, but Im sure thats something that could easily be shaved/shaped/modded if I ever got one.

in the Camaros defense, the concords came out AFTER the '98 and up Camaros. so the Concordes look like the CAMAROS!

actually the Concorde you are talking about came out in 98, the SAME year chevrolet restyled the Camaro. so it's an even debate i guess. but the concord stole the Camaros styling PERIOD.

your car would look so much better without the splitter. I just think they look out of place, like they dont really belong there but whatever makes you happy.

Still not sure. I thought I would like it more. I wait for new pics when you make it a bit more recessed.

Geez it does go up at an angle. When I fit the spacers on Gilbert's car I knew the 3 bumper supports (factory ones near air dam) weren't in but I didn't think it made that big of a difference.

What do you think it needs? It as 1" spacers, you think 1.5" would do it (make it level)?

I don't like how it "pulls up" at the nose of the car. It would look infinitely better if it was perfectly straight from the wheel wells to the front of the car.

I used all the provided spacers, and I believe that mine is level. Could it just be that the middle three bolts (ones that needed drilling) were fitted too tight?

I think Trans-Ams just dip up higher than Camaros... Thanks though, was just about to PM you and make sure yours was level

Don't like it, a guy i know had a splitter on his car and made him run a sec. higher then regular time. Wierd cuz he took it off and gained it back. But idk if the splitter was the cause or not. If you got the rise out it be alright.

I was gonna say the same thing. Doesn't appear to fit flush that well either

This is exactly what I was thinking...looks a little awkward with it pulled up from the side. If it was flat, would look 100x better imo.

I love the car though, especially since I have the same thing but black .

I think it looks sick, just goes to show some nice rims and a few tasteful appearance mods and you got a nice set up.

Thanks guys for the compliments.... 6LE, no problem with using the pics... let me know if you want the original hi-res versions, but I think they are available on Fquick.

Do I get some kind of special discount now???

hey these splitter are screwed into the bumper right?

will that hold at say 150 or 170 mph?

not bashing part. just learning. i want one just might have to add steel rods or something to keep it from coming off on the high speed runs

Was it the 6LITEREATERDESIGN splitter.............If so, I really doubt the splitter was the cause, in fact it should of helped as it puts a degree of downforce on the front, preventing front end lift and providing a more streamlined aerodynamic air flow, which actually should help.............
