Come on man, I would enjoy coming into the Appearance section to look at some nice clean tastefully done Camaro's. Since you've been doing these splitter things I have completely stopped coming into this section. These things make the car look like ****. The car has a nice flowing body line, and you add this tachy ricey looking thing. I just think that since the price value of these cars have come down, we see a lot more buckets because of the age bracket appeal vs affordability. Now we have a bunch of ricey looking Camaro's going around buying up this ****. Whatever, we're all entitled to our opinion, and there is mine. The hell with these stupid designs.

i have a feeling this thread will be closed very soon. someone trashed the splitters on a thread i posted a few days ago and it got shut down because people dont know when to bite their tongue. if you dont like them, just say you dont like them or say they dont look good in your opinion. but please stop trashing them and saying they are rice. if you think that, keep it to yourself.

The idea for the "mud guards" or Canards is from the ZR1. I dont have those yet, as they're still being created, but it will tie-in and complete the look and functionality of the whole splitter system.

I agree to an extent...hopefully with the canards, it'll make it look more functional, and less like a trucks step, lol.

speaking of truck steps, make sure people don't step on those getting in... or that you don't when you're drunk or something

When you're getting out of the car and look down, you cant see the splitters and I think they will easily be missed.....well, we can hope.

looks awesome IMO, especially on the red car with black accents

is there anything planned to tie it into the rear? i dont mean the canards, i mean under the rear bumper, i know there would probably not be ANY performance gain whatsoever, but i think it would look good and tie it all together. it kinda looks like a lip kit without the back piece right now

Technically the rear valance would tie it all in....I just chose to paint and blend it in....you COULD keep it bare or paint it black to match.
