I'll have to give it credit, it's good work, but that doesn't mean I like it. With no lines the front end looks funny, almost 2 dimensional. Oh well. Hey easySPEED, good to see that you finally got off probation. :nono:

I like the wide mouth part of it, but instead of an open area it needs a grill mesh to look right (keep the road kill out).
Don't like that it goes down further on the left & right sides---if it was even all the way across then it would be fine.
Just now noticed that it most likely doesn't have the real bumper behind the facia---it would show up in that wide mouth. That's not a good idea.
Looks like somebody bought a fiberglass front end and just took out the center bar and added the extensions. Pretty easy to do.

I don't think you can use this as an excuse for why you don't like it. I don't like it but my reason is that they are too long. The skirt shouldn't be HUGE. Still doesn't look nearly as bad as that wide mouth kit.

Actually I don't think it looks too bad. I've seen a lot worse....
Would look much better with a front-mount intercooler or a mesh grille or something there though.
I gotta give him credit, I think he actually did a halfway decent job with it.

It looks like some of the front clips on a few of my Camaro drawings. I don't really like it. It doesn't match the ground effects and it looks a bit out of proportion to the car overall. I think it would have looked better if it was at the stock height and did not have that indenture in the front.

I think it looks ridiculous, not that I expect that to surprise anybody.
I like the look but I think the lip comes way to low. I know after I'm done with the weightjack kits on my 91z, the stock front lip will be inches from the ground. That front lip would be scraping on the ground like a snow plow (not that I know what that looks like mwahahaha). Would be cool on a non lowered car to achieve the illusion that the car is lowered, but you guys are right, the sideskirts would have to match.

Wouldnt do any good for those of us who need to front mount a license plate. If it were stock in appearance with the center section like that custom one it MAY look better but for now it looks better on someone elses car....

That would look about a 100 times better if it had the fog light grill in it. Still i cant see doing it to the car, Just needs to extend the whole thing another inch or so in the front, that looks the best.
if it was finished the gfx all the way around it would look 100 times better. it also needs bigger wheels to fill the wells i'd say 18's or 19's. i like it but would never buy it dont think it would fit the bird

i'll play devil's advocate. i like most of it. except for the sides, and the extreme lower edge. i don't like how the left and right edges drop down from the center and flare out to the sides.
i do love that widemouth look, however.

I always wondered how the grill would look with nothing in the middle. It looks alright open, but it does need something behind there besides the dirty old radiator like un4givin89 said. As far as the side extensions, it just looks like the GFX I've seen on alot of 4th gens.
