These are just like those APSIS splash guards for the front of the Z06...hideous.

Who's down for what?
Option 1 seems better to me.

Is he going to keep them black or paint them red?

So they are part # 19170234 ?

...and they will fit our f-bodies (camaro, firebird and Trans AM's?) or do they need triming?

that's the ones. No doubt they will need trimming especially since they are molded. 6LE is looking to produce them so they will fit properly. Probably need to get a few more guys interested.

Is the trimming done to the inside (the part you can't see because it's under the car) or the outside?

The kit for $125 includes fronts too, it seems you can get the rears for just $40. Or am I just not understanding?

Looks like you can just buy the rears buy themselves. I really want to add these to my Camaro. If 6LE would make some... =D

I think I'm going to just move forward with the rear canard idea, looks less like a mudflap and more like some fabricated in a shop for racing...

Measured up for them today...

I think the set up that 2000SSgeorge has looks the best.

6LE, you would need to make them for a regular Camaro, and ones with the CME valances like 2000SSgeorge has

What I am going to make can be used on either. I'll leave the molded stuff alone for now. After costs for tooling and making it would be cheaper to buy the Vette ones and cut them and that is probably what most people would do...
