Took me a while to find them, so I figure I'll post up a Direct Link.

I forgot I had posted up this thread looks awesome I'm excited to see where this goes. I'd be all for buying the Z06 pieces if they are really only about $90 for both and trimming them. I just hate driving through a small puddle and the back half of my car gets FILTHY!

Anyone else with a black car notice how easily the areas after the rear wheels (where the red side markers are) gets dusty in a matter of minutes? This seems to be the worst spot. I wonder if these splash guards would do anything in this situation.

^^Picked up the set of "rear canards" today. I designed them to sort of "finish off" the splitter look of the car. They are getting powdered with Mark's 6LE canard package and I'll have pics soon (I'd say Wednesday at the latest).

Mark, you've had a great amount of patience on the canards and I am going to shoot you pics as soon as they (these rear ones) are powdered and mocked up. Going to just tape to my car for pics so if you want them I can mail them with your others and then make another set for my car...

^^Forgot to mention, I can alter the "rear canards" to be less splitter like (you'll see what I mean) for those just looking for fancy-purpose built looking glorified mud flaps

Pricing will be $125 shipped. Same as what I'm finding most good Z06 pieces to be BUT no cutting required. This way people have an option

^^Crap, forgot again, these are made to go with my rear valances as well, I'll have shorter versions for stock bumpers but these will fit Trans-Ams nicely as is.

Yes, I want them................anxious to get them mounted to finish the "splitter package" off. I think it will give a tastefull but aggressive look and really set the black color scheme off..............

Not hard to picture, they will me similar to my splitter canards...









Basically just like the front passenger side canard in the above pics but flipped around.

I can make them where they look like this (straight down and then curved, NOT an L shape)...



However I feel it looks more like a "mud flap" then and doesn't block all of the tread (which is the whole purpose)...



Mine will not look as "factory" (since it is not molded urethane) and will definitely look more "race built" or shop fabricated but they will fully protect the bumper and, IMHO, have a better shape that will look less like a mudflap and more like a canard...

Very interested in the "splash guards"...............but I'm just wondering how they will look along with the front/side splitters with canards.
Might (or might not) be to much...........any thoughts on this?
I'm a little concerned how the gap on the fender, between the canards and splash guard will look...................
