Take my hood and spoiler off? It came that way stupid! I didn't add those did I? I am not the one wanting to add an ugly black piece cause I keep scratching underneath the bumper! Think this will actually help with that?
And have any of you actually went and looked at your cars to see how the hell it could possibly fit on and look nice together? I doubt you have.
oh i see.... I forgot that out of these 6 pages of this thread, no one has a "nice ride" lol Then I guess I will wait for some of the cooler guys make an opinion on it before I decide if I want it "survey says... not cool" I guess I can't have it then because a guy with a certified "nice ride" hasn't said its likeable... and I am sure someone can figure out how to put it on the car, if you put ground effects on I would think someone could manage to put a splitter on. All I am saying is you don't have to hate on something that someone thought up and threw out there to be different (and turns out the vast majority of people in this thread said they were INTERESTED)

p.s. don't call me stupid... its not nice lol

who cares if it is functional or not and why people like it or not...if you like it you like it, who cares what everybody else says....not everything on a car needs to be only functional...and if it isnt functional doesnt make it ricey....i dont get why everytime a thread like this comes up it turns into an argument...i believe the original question was if this was made who would get it...

if there is anymore arguing about rice in this thread i'm gonna report your posts. i made this thread for an appearance mod. everyone has divergent opinions, thats why we all don't drive the same exact cars. now shut up already. if you don't like the idea, you have no business in this thread.

and for everyone that is interested, i PMed the guy who made the gto splitter and he is yet to respond. patience is a virtue, its only been two days. if he is unable to do it, maybe we can convince one of our sponsors to make us something. i sure as heck don't have the time (or skill) for it

I really like how these look so far on the Camaro's (LT1 and LS1). I especially like how they look on that Trans-Am chop. I thi9nk there is definitely some money to be made here. if he doesn't make these, someone has to. I just hope they get made for all platforms.

To the guy making these, please make them for all of us, and not just the ls1 crowd. I have 2 F-bodies and I want one on both cars. Don't leave us LT1 guys out of the loop.

Looks cool, I'd have to see it first tho. Specially since I don't really see how it would work on a TA.

I'm glad to hear someone else is tired of hearing everything being 'rice.' Shouldn't all cars look like triangles then? lol I think it's the little things that make a car unique, yours, not the other guy's or the one on the lot. Whether it looks good or not we gotta respect the fact that the owner wanted something DIFFERENT...and 'different' is something we ALL want. I think everyone here has nice cars, even that crazy fellow with a Fox-body mustang in his sig...on LS1Tech.com?! hehe Nice 'Stang tho. All yellow stickers, Whale-Tail wings, wide-body kits and colored guage faces aside, Gents; lets just let eachother be different without insults. Thank you 02TransAm/Batmobile for chopping that splitter onto a T/A! If they need a T/A for R&D and Tennessee is close enough, they can use mine! If not, I just might buy one anyway! Here's an idea, a thin layer of sheetmetal on the bottom to help prevent the scrapes and scratches... Swat
