I could easily make the design go further back and just move the holes back 2.5"s if someone wanted. Would increase cost though because it increases the size.

I think you're going to be a 1 of 1
1 of 1 is cool with me, makes it unique and it will look good with the ws6 hood i have plan for the future. If you ever change your mind though let me know and i can take some measurements for you.

I think it'd look great if it was an inch back.

I could be wrong but I don't think it is "Medium Quasar Blue Metallic" I am pretty sure it is Teal (forgot the factory name)...

If I end up making a new design for these (more material in the back and/or holes moved back) I might make the point a little less sharp...

NOT rounded, just might make the slope away from it a little less dramatic to match your car...

HOWEVER, for me to make anymore of these I'd have to do a pre-paid group purchase of at least 6... LT1 splitters have been a curse for me.

Built the Camaro one off a guy's car then the production piece didn't fit. Tried it on another car and it fits perfectly. That guy loved it but had financial issues and I ended up with it back.

To this day only ONE 93-97 Camaro splitter has gone out and only ONE 93-97 Bird has gone out.

Granted, because there's only one there's not many pictures (no good ones on the Camaros) which hinders it...

I really like that on your T/A ! I would definitely be down for one if 6LE builds some more for the LT1 T/A with the extra material at the back so it can be trimmed down to fit. Also, making the holes longer on the version 1.2 to accept the bolts in the right position (instead of having to cut material). To be honest, I wanted to purchase the one you have on your car, but did not want to be the guinea pig Now that I see it and know what changes need to be made I would certainly purchase one of the LT1 T/A splitters !

6LE, you can put me on that list of 6 LT1 T/A cars needed for a group purchase if you will make the suttle changes needed for it to fit a little more appropriately (namely the extra material to bring it back to the fenderwell).

Group purchase:

1. 96 Silverram
2. xxxxxx ?
3. xxxxxx ?
4. xxxxxx ?
5. xxxxxx ?
6. xxxxxx ?

I just made one for a customer and have one extra (I have to have two made at a time since my waterjet guy fits two on a sheet) if anyone wants it. Slight adjustments have been made...

I am just about ready to bolt that thing on!!!
I have been doing even more modifying of the nose to really make my car one of a kind, I'm getting antsy to see it with the headlights finished, Big Hole cut out, Intercooler showing, and this splitter mounted with the long aluminum turnbuckles.
