I'm a fan of no mudflaps, but I have to say that center exhaust tips on a thirdgen doesn't look good because there is no space in the bumper for them. The SS and the C5 have a notch in the bumper specifically for the tips, but the Iroc bumper doesn't.

Looks funky that way. If you look around you'll notice that on almost every car with center exhausts the bumper cover is notched, or beveled where it exits.

Helps to draw the eye and smooth the lines of the car.

nice chop... i no longer have the mud flaps (winter is over).

i see what you mean, about the notches.

i still think center tips look sweet thoe, but i'm just trying to be different and stand out.

Tim, I think your car looks pretty darn good. I've never been a real fan of the hooker tips. If you're gonna do a center exit, how about the 4th gen Z28 tips?

...this is a "illustrator" not a "chop"...
