I was kidding.

We do obviously live vicariously through other people's Camaro's

Great take on an '8!

Wow. I dig the splitter. It's almost exactly as I envisioned mine. Mine will have small ailerons on the sides and no side braces. I've been dieing to see one done "right". Many have come close but I think you've nailed it there. How do you plan to keep it from being ripped off the car? Can we get a shot of what the mounting apparatus looks like?

wow that is very nice I love the aerodynamic styling....

Well, when i made it over there it was allready mounted, i seen a bracket that mounted behind the piece, i'm sure it's some sort of brace, i will ask about it for you. Im sure we will make some changes, its a prototype.

+1 For that!

I *did* photoshop them. They're all taken from different angles. So they don't line up properly. Namely the middle section.

Oh now come on... everyone knows photos get "leaked" before unveilings to generate hype LOL

i know, i have some rules to live by, until it is released i cant give whole car shots,...

Splitter looks cool, I dig it.

Hey so, it looks like the front bumper and the rearview mirrors have all been done in the same fashion as the stripes on the car... is that accurate? So just bare metal with that fancy clearcoat on it? Where did the mirrors come from?

Dan

[Jon@AirRideTech]

you nailed it they are bare metal and cleared as well...

[jb@ridetech]

+1 For that!

I do believe they are from a mustang.

i have just found this thread - read it all- really nice design and then this:

this is killer looking
the only thing it makes me think about is the carnage that this would do when you pull in too close at 7-11
be carefull where you drive! - KUTGW!

[jb@ridetech]

thanks, the photo shows the car @ deflated height, it raises a few inches from there @ ride height.

I may be the only one here, and I was with you on this build up until the splitter.
Then I had to scratch my head and think...WTF?
I don't get it.

That thing is huge!! And looks goofy hanging under there like that. IMO.
I know each there own, and I may have missed the bus on this one but I think that takes from the look of the car, not adds to it.

I am sorry, not trying to be a jerk. Just don't get this one.
How much does that thing weigh, and why would you want that to hang there?

Someone else's car had an aluminum spoiler on there and it looked killer, I really thought you guys would one up it.
This may not be it.

Sorry guys, but please help me here. I got to be missing something.

It is aluminum, it's about 8lbs, it is a protype, i heard they will be made from carbonfiber.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

ahahaha

i agree i dont care for the taillights either ?!?! but thats just me !! i would like to see it at ride height ? im thinking about this set up for my 67 ??

[NOPANTS-68]

I dig the splitter, not so much on the tail lamps but that's what makes the world go round. The CCWs look perfect on this rig. Great job.

[Munster]

I like the idea of the the splitter but I would look at dropping about a third of the vertical height and changing the sharp transition lines to a more softer curved type to match the smoothness of the stock fenders and valance. I'm not saying yours is bad, just that if this was my first try that is what I would have noticed for myself and looked to work on.

[jb@ridetech]

i should have some better shots in the next few days.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

very nice!.. want to see it with the lip after you made the cake.

[whytry]

Is the car running a little rich? Or is it the photo of the back end that makes it look that way? I love the car, it awesome! Great stance!

It looks like there is something above the exhaust on the body...

[Larry Callahan]

i should have some better shots in the next few days.

Ah hah!!! I beat you to it.. Here is a finished cell phone picture of it.

Please don't kill me Bret for posting it too soon.
