Honestly I think it looks horrible. Remount it without the spacers, post a good comparison pic between the two and I bet you'll have more people liking it the way I designed it to be on there.

It also doesn't work like that. The spacers for Trans-Ams are because their bumpers dip up. Only the three center spacers can be seen but the air is trapped by the air dam, creates a packed spot, and everything continues to work aerodynamically.

I wouldn't be surprised if high speeds don't end up ripping that and parts of your bumper off with it now that I see how it makes it sit

I can see the shape of the back side of the splitter which makes it horrible IMHO...

I personally think it looks great but I can also see where mark is coming from about it possibly ripping off at high speeds and about being able to see the back of the splitter. It all comes down to what you like since its your car, if leaving it spaced and seeing high speeds make sure its secure really well so it doesn't rip off. One thing I hated about trans ams is that stupid dip in the middle of the bumper, I would like to see what one would look like on a LT1 formula.

I would think without the spacers it would look awesome with all the other black on the car, should look like Sommer's which EVERYONE stops and looks over even if we're just at a Chik-fil-a, lol!

It looks good, I also like that it sets it apart. VERY few camaros have splitters. But definitely without the spacers.

i think it looked best in the first pic. maybe adding some short spacers to only the front 3 would be best, to even it out some so there's less of a slant.

thats what i plan on doing when i mount mine up.

^if your gonna sell it, sell it local. shipping prices are CRAZY high. i was quoted like $160 based on its size/shape and weight. plus i still needed to find a box for it.

it wasn't even gonna be worth it to sell it if i had to ship it. but I'll be putting mine to use hopefully

I just love your car all together, man. You really made everything tie in well and did an awesome job on it. As for the splitter....I think it may look better flush like has already been said. I am considering putting one of these on my car also.

I guess I just don't get the attraction. You have a nice clean car, and a cheap piece of unpainted ABS plastic hanging off the nose. Looks like you ran something over and it got stuck.

I'm not that far from you and I would buy this off you bro. I met you at one of your guys GTG way back in the day lol

I like the splitter just don't like the price of them and I like anything that stands out and looks different then the next mans car and can care less what ppl think or say.

I would keep it and look different or sell it to me
