The front piece looks good.....im not a fan of the sides. It might look better in carbon fiber or a color that goes with your car a bit better.
props for trying something different thou

If it was one piece it would look good.. I have the front splitter on my car but that is all.. I won't put anything else on it unless you could buy this kit as one solid part.
The styling looks good if you can imagine it without the different colors of black,material and stacking on top of each other.

Actually, you can get these in one piece. I offer then in one piece aluminum (powdercoated a texture or raw) and I also offer in one piece Carbon Fiber

These pics suck I know, my brother still has the camera. Install was easy and it really finishes the look. No rubbing issues up front so far we thought we may have had to trim the inner edges off, we might have to trim for when I get 11" zr1s out back as the inner piece was around the area where you would bang the inner fender well. The colors are off but w/e as long as its functional.
I know this may sound silly but are the side splitters clean? When mine are freshly washed and wipe down with Armor All (I wipe all my plastics down with it on the exterior and 160K later my car still looks new) they blend in with the canards really well....
The joints where they meet bug me as well but when you are adding things to things already there there isn't much else to do. I'm thinking about getting mine wrapped in CF actually...
I now offer one piece everything (wider splitters with built in canards and side splitters with built in canards) just waiting on pricing (shipping is more due to added height
).All the criticism in understood and I offer solutions for anyone who wants a product different than what you see HOWEVER I will say they look 1000x's better in person as is and get GOOD (not ricer) attention at shows and just parking lots even locally...

^^Oh, Andros, one thing you can do for fitment that I did to mine (because I made the side splitters before I ever even imagined canards) is extend them out from the car 1/4" (so you can take a little material off the back but still fit flush with the canard) and then make the back corner square instead of rounded . Then it disappears into the canard better...
I think some Black Bird stripes would compliment them as well.

Pics? I was about to get mine done in hydrographics carbon fiber, but would like to see the new improved CF one piece design.

I haven't done any high speed runs since I 1st put the splitters on but I did notice a difference in the cars stability. I imagine the canards would help provide additional downforce but if doesn't it still completes the look. I plan to paint the splitters to match the canards better, when they are clean it's hardly noticeable but the Florida heat really brings out that dull plastic look after a while. I was thinking after I get the watts link (black of course) I'll get black zr1s w/ a polished lip (11" out back obviously) and a darker tint.

Reminds me of the airdam / running boards on a '80s conversion van.
I really don't see the point to this mod...the splitter looks kind of okay on the Camaro, but the rest of it looks cheap and tacked on.
Sometimes less is more when it comes to aftermarket ad ons.
And I really don't see what functional about it, besides kind of acting like a mud flap.
