Looks awesome!! Cant wait to see the final product!! I am definately planning on buying one.

I'm kinda curious to see what it would look like on a 93-97 Formula/Trans Am.

Keep up the great work!!

No offense but ebay grills tend to fall apart and be junk. That's why most people go with Stull which are like $140...

You've got some awesome products rolling out 6LE. Already gonna have to get that CME Valance from you.

What's next, Dick Harrell Front Bumper Cover (hint, hint)? 100mm Lid? Wide Body?
That's why I designed the splitter, to have the look but cheaper AND FUNCTIONAL

Yeah, I know. There was a guy supposedly making them for $600, and I had the cash, ready to take a chance on it, but he won't even reply to an email. So I guess I got my hopes up. Might have to settle for the splitter, but if you wanna have a go at making the actual bumper cover, I'll pay you up front.

Nice Mark. Any word on what this will do to the structural rigidity of the car overall (removing the bars that run down the middle)? Do verts have any extra support except for their pesuto-subframe connectors? If you're pretty confident that nothing much, you have my car if you'd like some more test cars Oh, and the whole matching sail pannel thing would be GREAT (seeing how most of us got screwed in the first place by GM and have sail panels with a serious ACNE problem lol). I'll be watching.

Awe... just read ur thread on the previous page :sadnana: - guess no sail panel.

The bar does not have to be removed, it can stay.

Its amazing how opinions change when you're out to make a buck. I remember not long ago when you were talking about how good of a deal you can get on a cheap billet grill and paint it black yourself. Theres not much you can do to make a welded together piece of aluminum cheap... Stull might be 'better made' stuff, but I'll wait til my $40 grill starts 'falling apart' before I fork over $140 for the same piece.

By the way, my offer for the red bowtie for $80 still stands...if not I'll just buy one for $65 and paint it myself

Need to make the matching roof hoop too . . . since many Camaros need new hoops due to the glue eating through them . . . Now THAT would be the icing on the cake!

Thumbs up

I was set on an SLP SS Grill, but I think I've seen this enough to change my mind. Put me down for one

Huh? So this isn't a 'true' targa top? Just kinda goes over what's already there/kinda?

Forgot to mention, I'm also having these powder coated where as ebay grilles are spray painted...

That also came after re-spray painting mine almost every weekend due to rock chips

Maybe that's why it came apart, I kept taking it on and off

Then again, my blue bowtie fell apart as well, maybe my car just hates me
