Now for something new and old.

Pace Car Convertible
-Jinx SS Ground FX
-Jinx Center mount ram air grill
-Custom wheel design from my Z28
-Custom Heritage Color Theme
-Pace Car Decals
-Z28 style Brake Cooling Duct Lower grille

Regular vert:

Some ideas to explain:

-As many people know, the scoop is nonfunctional. The grill design I have in mind is like the Corvette Vararam intake. The ram air duct is the upper shelf of the center mount SS grille. It routes the air into a 2.5'' tube around the driver side of thew radiator and into the airbox. The lower shelf allows enough air to cool the radiator and etc.

-The lower grille is style directly from the Z28 lower grille. It does the same thing for the SS as it does for the Z28 concept; cools the brakes. Also allows SS owners to have the Z28 aggressive touch and complements the upper Center Mount SS ram air grille.

- The ground Fx are urethane. The front bumper piece mimics the SS molded chin spoiler, but also adds an aggressive by having the lip extend out and lower. the insert in the front piece is a carbon fiber trim piece. The side skirts are directly off the Z28 concept.

-The wheels are inspired from VMR wheels, but have been redesigned with a lip (the original VMR wheels had no lip at all, import style) and given a semi gloss black finish to boast some american style.

-The Camaro is lowered 2''

Those are some mad skills you got there, now i want a convertible again. I don't know wtf I want.

MCMLXIX · 10-21-2008, 09:23 AM

Those are awesome.
Didn't you have designs with square fog lights instead of round?
Love the front lip spolier and SS grill (Ram Air functional or not)

Jinx · 10-21-2008, 09:29 AM

Thats my Z28 concept bumper. It had square fogs, lower fog bumps, slightly wider and taller lower grille, nose beaked out, and had a true carbon fiber splitter.

This is just an add-on piece for the SS bumper. Like the Mustang GT/CS has:

and the lower grille is modified to fit into the SS lower opening.

For all ZL1 fans

Jinx · 10-21-2008, 10:03 AM

Taking the GT500 is to a GT500KR approach; this is my ZL1:

-LS9 instead of LSA(Z28)
-Magnetic Ride Control
-PTM
-Standard Forged wheels
-ZR1 brakes and wheels
-front scoop addition

and for Chits and Jiggles, KITT is standard.

kdbolt70 · 10-21-2008, 10:06 AM

Why not a hood scoop? Or perhaps larger rear inlets?

Congoman775 · 10-21-2008, 10:08 AM

now that, i would buy.

Personally, I hate hood scoops on a 5th gen. The car has the cowl shape as a part of the design and I hate seeing cowl hoods with ram air.

I could do it on request though.

As for the rear inlets, this goes back to the "no tapering with the sheetmetal" policy I use on the Camaro. I like to look at the design as factory feasible.
