Lowering front gta bumper profile.
Anyone figure out a polyurethane lip or somethkng to add to the front bumper to make it lower in the front? I do not like how the front bumper goes up toward the front. You would think the bumper wouldn't have just been lower instead of putting the black plastic undercarriage cover longer than the actually bumper.

I remember there were some aftermarket options back in the day, but they all looked pretty bad. Also need to consider that this is where the radiator gets its air from. Camaros can have a lower front spoiler because they have an open grille. Birds take all of the air from below.

The angle is to help with approach angles in driveways and parking lot entrances/exits. The air deflector has to be lower than the bumper, it's to direct air to the radiator when going over 40mph, because the fans shut off.

Re: Lowering front gta bumper profile.
This is also true and the T/A's were much better about rubbing the front end than the Camaros were. A small add on spoiler would be OK, but go too low and the air won't go up into the radiator. Could lower the air damn under the core support some, but it's already pretty low and sometimes drags on stuff. I wouldn't want to go any lower.
