Re: post pics of custom front end mods!

Wow nice rack and pinion setup! Manual or power? And how is your turning radius or is it a drag only setup?

Manual rack. turning radius doesnt seem much different from stock. My car is mostly for drag racing.

Size:  44.5 KBI shaved the CAMARO off this old grill piece, re-painted it, and added the Z-28 badge from a 1969 grille. Wanted something a little different.

Re: post pics of custom front end mods!

well.....it didn't fit at all. i had to cut out like 2 inchs out of it and mold it back together, cut it shorter on both sides...then i had to drill holes in berlinetta facia so i could bolt it on the chin

Nice car, do you have any picks of your car with the front spoiler but not the the side ground fx's? I'm wondering if by chance you did the front first because I am planing a front spoiler for my berlinetta, but without ground fx.

Thanks Dude! I've been pondering modifying a z28 chin spoiler, or making something completely new. I think your car looks real nice.

Re: post pics of custom front end mods!

definitely still in the works. waiting on mesh to come in and paint. should help with airflow and hopefully not look so boring
