Those plastic ones look like complete ***, but it's got me thinking about maybe trying to make some metal ones. What kind of sheet metal should someone use? Tin? Stainless would be pretty expensive, and plain steel would rust. And I wouldn't figure aluminum would be strong enough in a sheet to work for something like that. Any ideas? Metal ones would look far better for sure.

I know who you are talking about. I see that car all the time @ UNF, its got the chrome anniversary stripes on the side right? His dont look as bad as the ones in this thread, but still looks like it belongs on a 3rd gen.
That guy actually pulled up to me a couple of months ago and asked- "What makes your car sound that way?" I said "I got a cam" then with a confused look on his face, he said "Oh....uh....where can I get one of those?"

there not crazy bad i mean i think they look better then some of the spoilers, rims etc people put on there camaros-firebirds. But i think they';d be a lot better painted glossy black. Everyone always leaves them flat and they fade etc.
