These bird of prey sideskirts are much sweeter. If someone could make these, there would be a lot of money coming their way. It would be cool because you could make them functional for cooling your brakes as well.

Nice, I would like the Bird of Prey setup on my car but, you right no one makes them. Too bad, I suppose someone could make BANK with that design

He's not selling them. A company is making them.

Oh, and BTW, I think they look perty good. It appears they do flow with the door lines decently, but I do agree about the big hole in the side looking maybe a little out of place. But, now that I look at it again, they actually are shaped sort of like the holes in the WW front lip (which some of you have), and even sort of like the holes on the front fascia of the T/A. I would buy them, and definately come up with a side exit exhaust. That would look awsome.

Oh yeah. I am on my 12th F-body since 1997, so I have plenty of room to talk about it.

I think with a single Oval or circular Exhaust tip coming out of the opening about a half an inch or so would look meaner than hell on a WS6 or just a Trans am, lol. I think it was Turbo_6 who said that the Ws6 has many open holes in the body that ultimatly do nothing, and most of them are toward the front of the car we need something to make it catchy toward the rear of the car.

A little of Topic but the 07 Shelby Gt500 as side Exit Exhaust and it looks Great, think about a Pimped out WS6 with the rumble of a Cam

It serves a purpose. Rear wings come into effect at right over 100mph & its also a good way to know if your rollin up on a Trans Am or a Firebird from behind. Not too many people around here alter their f-body to look like something its not.

Just wondering something would a camaro Vizage side skirt fit on a T/A, I would think that it would?? Has anyone done this before?

I like the WW front air dam, with this Sde skirt with a Custom side exahust system with a 1 inch lowering sprins in the back. I don't think the front end should be dropped 1 inch since the airdam would make look like it had already been lowered. What do you guys think?
