THIS PIC DOES NOT SHOW THE FINAL PRODUCT

Yes, we have more pics with the Camaro splitter on a SOM WS6 and a pewter Formula. No, I don't have them.

I look like a leprechaun popping out from behind the car

I have a few more pics (no where near as good as this one though, my camera sucked...) but can't upload until Tuesday.

Just like when we put the roof on the 'Birds, not only did it look good but it actually looked more aggressive (thanks to the lines of the car) than the Camaros.

I'm going to be unable to R&D this week, but this coming weekend I should be able to put my full 'Bird kit on a car. The splitter will go straight across the bottom of the Birds leaving an opening (supported by three cylindrical rods that will also act as air foils) to funnel air straight into the radiator air dam and add airflow to the bottom of the air lid.

People with Fast Toys Ram-Air should pick up even more air...

With those flares on both side does it leave an air gap in the center(TA)? How does that look in person?

Yup. That is the point for Trans-Ams. It will split the air but also channel some straight to the air dam to add flow to the radiator and air lid...

you've gotta have the rods and probably one in the middle too. other wise at high rates of speed it would flex and not create any downforce.

It is pretty stiff. Tested at about 130-140mph and no flex was seen. Regardless I agree if you want to make it functional get those rods, they are only like $20-$40 on ebay and could look pretty cool
