Beautiful, badazz car, but man that front end is low to the ground. With the roads around here, the splitter would be torn to shreds fast.

You're car looks extremely cool and mean, great stance. I would say mine is almost as low as yours and it scrapes plenty now. I can't possibly imagine driving around here with that splitter, I don't think it would last a week, but it sure does look good. I would love to try it but I'd just be wasting money. Good luck!

BTW, since you are obviously in a warm climate (the palm trees give it away) how does your car cool with the radiator kind of blocked off?

aslong you know the roads and never forget your driving a really low car, it will be okay, and thanks man, ive had this front lip for nearly 2 years

I modified my fog light vent hole/duct functional to direct air to the radiator


Originally Posted by Revolver ZSTi

decided to make the useless fog light inlet/vent/hole/duct or whatever you may call them functional, so i made these

functional was my biggest concern. I didnt care too much how it looks or materials i used. If i wanted i could have made them into single piece plastic or full carbon fiber.but that would be unnecessary they would be covered up by the bumper and mesh grill

yes they made huge improvement on coolant temps

dont flame too hard haha and hope yall like it

the mock up


fully installed, I used acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic






fully installed and tested, you cant even see them

Good Gawd! Your Z has to have the most aggressive stance I've ever seen and it's amazing! I'm not usually a fan of blacked out cars but you've done things very well and it's really nice seeing wheels with a polished lip.

Congrats on getting your ride to where you want it....for now of course. Things are never done are they?

thanks man much appreciated, thats my style, do things in a balance tasteful way, and same with performance

I have few things in mind, but sadly I am losing interest on the car scene in general, i have been around cars since i was 18 now i am turning 32 my mentality has changed or maybe my money is best spent elsewhere, i dont know. I am very close to selling this car soon, but well see

I have been feeling the exact same way....I recently picked up an Audi S5...talk about a change, much like you, my mentality has changed so much that I never thought I would even consider selling my Prized Corvette.

Cheers to change my brother

I absolutely love your car!!! I know black is a biotch to keep clean because my C5 is black, but it's worth it when it looks so bad.

congrats on the new car, yea def things are starting to change, i been around car for too long, pretty much modded my vette to the point if i want more power i would need to spend alot more cash, and for style wise, i dont really want to add anymore, my style is more simple (less is more), i say keep the vette, having multiple cars is always a good thing,
