I truly admire your creativity, but after all of the money you've sunk into this V6 Camaro, you could've purchased a 458 Italia.
To each their own...

So what is your plan to cover up or close off the ends where the crash beam would normally bolt on at? I can't imagine leaving them open like that would be a good thing. Overall it looks good, I'm interested to see what your plans are for the lip and possibly a belly pan to close the bottom gap?

I imagine you're going to go with that gorilla splitter like you did for your older ZL1 front end? Is there any plans for them to make a grill that fits into the bottom that looks stock ?and what about the top grill? Can you use a 2014 /15 z28 grill? I seen the video of the front end wrapped..looks really good !!

hey guys sorry for the late reply, I got it wrapped, I ordered the ZL1 1LE OEM lower grille and it was to wide so I have a grille for sale lol I didn't order the upper grille because I recently got a message from my bus partner lee at mb design and he mentioned that all the grilles and lower splitters were never released out of usa customs so he is sending everyone a new batch at the same time he has finished building my widebody and is sending that in the same box. I couldn't hold myself so I ordered the OEM ZL1 splitter and it gets here this Tuesday so we'll see if that fits.
The widebody has a custom lower splitter made for it so if that comes in in time then I would use what comes with the widebody and not do gorilla splitters, my last lower splitter was thru aero sport concepts. here is prime with also now RGBW 6th gen conversion headlights. and also a pic of the widebody coming which will look good in chrome blue.

thank you sir... should be a fun build with the kit. I have a couple more appointments waiting so I can try my best to make it to sema 2018, last year was a blessing. but if I don't have the widebody on here before then, then I think i'll wait to go next year god willing..

It's definitely unique, and all that matters is if the owner likes it. I agree though, definitely not something I'd do.
