thats all i was trying to do, nicely put.... those of you that are talented enough, keep the photoshops coming. If anyone could do a offset angle looking at the front that would be awesome, sort like the angle of my car in my sig but slightly more looking at the front and not so much the side... thanks guys

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.
While I agree it might not look right on a Bird, it will fit just fine on a Camaro. And yeah it will help with the bumper scraping. I haven't scraped mine, but I have come cloase and I'd rather scape a removable part like a spiltter then my bumper.


You say looks are in the eye of the beholder, I agree. I think having one exhaust tip on a Camaro is

And if you knew some back history of our cars you would know that is how they came from the factory. One 3" instead of dual 2.5" It was changed to dual 2.5" cause of the machine used to measure decibels didn't pass some g'ment standard. This is how it was explained to me.

I'm well aware the '98's came like that. Although the reason you gave was wrong. It was changed to dual tips after everyone complianed how weird it looked with one......

Those 747 wings are probably for the most part functional. I'm function>form but I still wouldn't want one of those huge wings.

With that said though depending on how it looks I may be interested. But when I'm not careful or in a hurry I scrape my front end once in a while, so....

I sure hope Mr. Kircher DOESN'T take to heart the pointless bickering that's been going on in here. That alone *might* be enough for him to say, "Man... these guys are just a bunch of kids... why should I waste my time?"

Personally, I think they look good and would seriously consider getting one for my car. Gonna keep tabs on this thread, for sure!

I think that looks cool.

My buddy makes them out of a clear plexi glass lexan material. He builds them for VW bugs and it looks really cool. I never considered what it would look like on one of our cars. Anyone want to photo shop one on an lt1 trans am?
