Ok its time to repaint the Bird. So i figure it wont take that much more time to redo the ground effects...

Tell me what you guys think about these i think these would look a little nicer.

Ps yes they are photo shoped. or gimped rather.

oh and no flame wars about the muffler is photo shoped cuase that started a 70 post flame war!!!! and by the way the muffler is not ps'ed .

Were just talking about the ground effects. Ty...

I like it, as long as it is done right i think it will look great because its not too over the top. Whats up with the gap between your door and your side gfx??

looks like something worth doing.. looks nice. you just need to fix your door area for the gfx... so it flows without that gap in there

the outcome of that will be entirely dependent on how your skills are at fabbing that up. it wouldnt look too bad if the final product looked like it came from the factory, but if it will turn out so you could walk up to the car and notice imperfections, dont do it. also, another thing to consider is you're gonna be scraping the crap outa that front bumper..

Well ist a demo vehicel so not alot of driveing.
so hopefully it wont scrap much on the little bit of driveing it gets.

and the work will be perfect or ill just redo it. but Fiberglass is our specialty so perfect wont be a problem....

Rather than get bigger gfx, I'd get a good set of lowering springs.

I think it looks great. I see a Camaro in Hoboken, NJ every now and then with extended GFX just like that. Looks pretty good.

Looks pretty good. Maybe add a spoiler or something up top to kind of balance it all out.

That looks straight up like the Vision gfx package from showcar-bodyparts.
You can get the side gfx with or w/o scoops (sorry.. no sprinkles though...).

Don't care much for it

If you do end uo doing that enlarge the foglight holes to fill up the space more. Maybe try to fit another type of light there. Even just a regular camaro light or something.

Ground effects are pretty cool, I'd say go for it.

As for that exhaust... it's definitely something I haven't seen before, but I really don't like that placement.

I have already deleted some posts regarding the exhaust. It is not the point of this thread, please stay on topic or I'm going to have to lock this. I'd rather not as I would like to see if AudioDEO can pull off his ground effects idea.
