Default 6LE splitter on my LT1 bird

Not the best pictures but for now they will work. Had to do some work to the splitter to get it to fit but it wasnt really that hard.

The point looks great on an LT-1 Firebird, since the nose is so pointed in the first place...

Looks killer

Got any pics from above to see the lines of bumper and the lines of the splitter? Thanks again for trying this one out If it is to be that far up it definitely needs more material on the back.

I'm torn on the front point...

It would look better if
1.) The car was lowered
2.) It was painted to match the car
3.) It was a black car and the splitter was painted gloss black.

I don't think it looks bad it has potential.

Maybe the OP can get us recessed pics as well. Otherwise I would make that adjustment on the water jet...

I have strano springs and koni adjustables so it is lowered just a bad angle picture.

here is a picture of the lines of the bumper and the splitter. I will go out in a bit and take pictures of the underside to show you what had to be done in order to make it fit.

her you can see how i had to enlarge the holes. I made them 2.5 inches longer


with the way it is now i prolly only needed about 1 to 1.5 inches bigger. Now these are the only hole on either side to match up.


The back slot near the front tire.


Then the front slots.


Overall to show how far forward it is.

Wow, you had your work cut out for you...

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
