Here is my finished splitter/air dam that Ive been working on...

Sanded, painted, and support rods in:

PUNISHER VETTE

looks very good.

Where do the air dams go to or i guess what is their main purpose?

Doesn't most of the air get in from the headlight grille?

Thanks!

Our vettes are actually "bottom feeders" and get airflow from the holes underneath the grills. If your cooling system is in good working condition you should be able to completely block off the grills in front of the headlights to help prevent lift at higher speeds, and not have any cooling problems.

The ducts are actually for brake cooling. The rest of that setup is here:

Nice job

Not something I would do to a chrome bumper car, but I do appreciate the planning and hard work that went into it!

Looks like a lot of hard work went into it, possibly suggest paint it Red to match, that would look killer!

redman76

I love it!!! Very aggressive looking.

. . . or paint the sidepipes black to match spoiler.

BACNBLK

Black is beautiful !

Thanks!
I know the look isnt for everyone. It does give it a much more aggressive look, which might be too much for some.
I plan on leaving it black though. There are a bunch of other black things on the car that it goes with... mirrors, side gills, hood vents, gas tank emblem, interior, and dark window tint.

As far as doing it to a chrome bumper car, it wasnt anything special to begin with, and I dont plan on selling it ever. Some of you would cringe at some of the things Ive cut up and modified on this car. I dont want it to be just another red chrome bumper car

Looks awesome, do what feels right, everyone else can just envy it from afar!

TheSkunkWorks

I like it.


Needs an L88 hood now.

eagle275

awesome! Plan on making and selling those? If so, put me down.

You did a great job with it! It really enhances the stance of your car.

On a side note are you sick of the snow yet?

aaroncorvette

Lookin' good, i'm doing the same to my front at the moment, i've cut up a pace car replica spoiler to get a similar look to your car, the factory spoiler is far too small and makes the front look high and ungainly in my opinion, my car's red too and i'm undesided as to paint it red or black, i might try red and post some pics to compare

Looks pretty damn cool....if you want to take it off for a couple of weeks I can skin it in real carbon fiber for you...or make a mould and I can see about recreating in CF.

Well I guess my biggest complaint was the support rods...I realize they are necessary, but I just don't like the look of them. And if you could do the splitter in carbon fiber....

Birdman

Oops, I should have read all the comments, lol.

i like the support rods it makes it look like a professional made it.

Looks good! Please post of CF if you make them available as lvrpool32 mentions.

I like it, well executed. To have it in carbon fiber would be really cool. Nice job.
