Default What do you guys think of this?

So I've been wanting to change my car, I'm ready for a new look. The idea of a splitter is awesome to me but I don't want the 6LE splitter. I want something more aggressive. So I'll be making my own like pictured below (rough phone editing lol) I'll be adding the stabilize bars because I think they look cool. I'l be drilling through my license plate frame because it'll be fairly easy to get another one, instead of fixing my bumper. Adding hood pins is another thing, not sure if I'll drill through my hood, I'll try to find a way to just attach them with 3m tape as a temporary thing and then maybe drill through the hood if I really like them. I'll be adding a Eclipse gas cap to kind of tie in the hood pins and maybe fabricating some side skirts too, to match the splitter. Sooooooo what do you guys think?

Also throwing around the idea of dipping my wheels black and adding white "Nitto" letters... on the fence about that...

I think the splitter and stabilizers would look good. I'm not sure about the hood pins. I never was a big fan of them. What is a eclipse gas cap????

You mean like this? This is a 6LE splitter that I cut down and added trim to.

So basically a mix between what Qcon (above) and Chris (below) did with our splitters?



Hopefully the pics help you visualize

These LS cars are between 13-17 years old, there's aren't many "original" specific mods you can do these days, so it's all about the total package you create with the various mods

Splitter idea works IMO if you have aftermarket wheels to help pull off the aggressive look (stock wheels or corvette wheels won't cut it IMO). I think you could make it work with your torque thrusts.

Non-functional (you mention 3m tape) hood pins are ricer as ****. Just shy of a plastic "tow hook" for looks.

Don't do anything to draw attention to the gas door IMO. Making something stand out for the sake of it standing out is nothing but a disruption to the flow of a car.

Not a fan of painted on white letters (or white letters at all on anything but racing slicks)
