I would rather have a nicely molded lip instead of the splitter if he can make one.

If you don't get the adjusting rods for the splitter which make it look rather ridiculous on a street car IMO, its not really going to do anything for your aerodynamics so that argument is useless.

Just because something is functional doesn't mean it looks good or that it belongs on a car.

it obviously belongs on a car if its functional and the car needs it. I think at high speed these cars need everything they can get

Shouldn't be more than the GTO unit. I would expect around 150-200 bucks.

does this stick out straight, or extend down at an angle? if it goes down, that might be bad for cooling cause f-bodies need the air to go under to the rad inlet.

I would hope cheaper since there are WAYYYY more potential buyers for this than the GTO version...

Would someone photoshop one onto a '98+ T/A. I was thinking of doing something like this on my W68 V6 'cause the opening it would create between the two front lip pieces would (should?) help with cooling AND aerodynamics. Now I'm selling the V6 and The same idea carries to the WS6...and I SUCK at photo-shopping stuff! :p Swat Subscribing..
