^X3^ what they both said. There is talk of the functionality of this feature, so I am assuming that you noticed better lap times correct? Can you give us some idea of what you saw?

I would do it purely for the looks. I think it looks mean. But if there's no real benefit and only downfalls to it I may have to reconsider. I don't track.

I don't think it looks that great at all on the Camaro. As stated above, it makes no sense to add downforce to the back and not the front. I am not sure if that will affect your MPG, I would expect something if you do a lot of highway.

To each their own of course, just MHO.

I added a apr frot splitter to my camaro so mine should be balanced nicely once I get te wicker bill installed. And as far as making you slower. If your not a competetive drag racer you probably won't notice the difference on a street car. If so simply add more power (it's a great excuse!)

Even though it comes with an improved splitter and a belly pan, Z/28 does not have any adjustability up front for different wicker bill settings. This tells me that wicker bill does not substantially upset balance just by itself. I am also not certain how the wicker bill impacts the overall lift. In other words, I don't know if there is any interaction between the rear spoiler and the front of the car. It sometimes happens in other cars (mostly due to rear diffuser, for instance).

The wicker bill will cause under-steer unless you equalize it up front. GM even recommends all Z/28 aero parts be purchased and installed together for avoid this. Somebody is working on an aftermarket front splitter extension for 2014+ 1LEs which would help offest the imbalance.

Just so you know, my point is that you can run Z/28 without wicker bill, with wicker bill at low setting, and with wicker bill at high setting. In all of these configs, you leave the front untouched (no settings to change). That's what I was talking about.

I think I'm going to carbon wrap my z/28 wicker bill when it arrives as well as my 14'ss ss hood vent I'm going to install. Does anyone know if the 3m wraps are pretty durable?

I still haven't found the right spoiler to install on my 2014 Vert to have my wickerbill installed. I bought my wickerbill 4 months ago and it's still sitting around ready to be installed.
