Default Front Spoiler only
Anyone have a pic of their Camaro with just a front spoiler added on without the side/rear? I kind of like the splitter look, but am waiting for a pic of one on a lighter colored car.

Sorry for the confusion, but that's what I'm looking for. The one thing I don't like about my car's profile is the front bumper. It seems too narrow from certain angles. I'm thinking of adding a splitter or front spoiler to give it a "fatter" look (I'm not sure if that translates correctly or "wider", "lower"). I also like the look of the Dick Harrell front ends.

a front spoiler on our cars is basically that black abs plastic hanging under the car that the wind hits and is directed into the radiator

a front splitter is what 6LE designed...

Yes! After looking at some pics of 6LITERS car with and without the splitter. I've got to say the splitter does give his car the look of something similar to the DH car. I just want to see the splitter in same color as the body on a lighter colored car like pewter or white.

^^thanks for the pics! I'm liking the splitter look even more. Does anyone think a front spoiler (RS or aftermarket brand) would look alright without the side/rear parts?

i think it would look uneven as it hangs down, and none of the rest of the car would match

Yeah, that makes sense. Can anyone photoshop a pewter camaro with a pewter colored splitter? If you add a Sunoco hood that would be even better. Yeah, I know I'm pitiful.

most people consider that to be a body kit or ground effects, not a front splitter/spoiler
