Default First LT1 with side splitters
They look amazing IMO. Excuse the driveway, thats from a now fixed oil leak. If you have a front splitter, get these. Now get the canards and rear diffuser done Mark!

Looks pretty good man. Can we get a full body car shot? Like front angle sort of deal. I've been waiting to see these on your car for a while now haha. Looks good though.

i actually did something a little different. i drilled into the GFX right under the doors. the only hole i used was at the very front. no spacers needed. but it probably took me about 20-25 minutes

Exactly what I was about to say.. On the Camaro's they seem to have a huge gap inbetween the splitter and frame.. On the TA it fits snug right up against the ground effects with no gap, way better looking IMO..

+1 for needing better pics of the whole car. We need to see how they compliment the lines of the entire car.. these close up zoomed in shots really do nothing in getting the overall whole effect.. I'll wait to make my judgment when I see the entire car

Interesting.......when I mounted the side splitters on my '02 SS, I only used one spacer on the front bolt and two on the very rear bolt........did not have to use any on the bolts inbetween those..........
