Splitter install/PD lower lip - thanks Bulls! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This was a two day install with all sorts of things done:
1. Apex/ADM scoop added to my CAI
2. Apex/Washer bottle Relocation
3. Plastidip lower fascia
4. Add ChicagoBulls' spoiler - ebay link later

All of this is so much easier with the bumper off, and as I said before the camaro is very easy to get off compared to others I have done. It's mostly positioning pins and bolts, so if you find them all, it slides off in your hands.

With the bumper off, it was simple to mount the scoop and bottle relo. Tip: cut off more vertical than they say, like 5/8 inch more.

The plastidip was easy - 5 coats after an alcohol wash and came out great.

The spoiler fit perfectly - nice quality - some VHB tape and a few tap cons to position it correctly, then drill 10 holes and bolt it up. If you are OCD, you might want to replace bolts with stainless and washers - also, I Loctite Blue'd them in place when tightening.

Put it all back together and here you go. Pic may look splotchy, it's not, it's very uniform, that's a tree messing with shadows. I have purposely pulled up in a concrete parking strip, to prove you sacrifice no height and will not scrape stuff.

enjoy!

Wow you are modding your car faster than I did mine! Been thinking about doing the scoop but have heard complete opposites that it made a big difference and others have said not worth it. What is your experience with the scoop? How hard was the install and relocate the window washer bottle?

dunno about scoop performance, as I have not driven too much today...time will tell. But if you look at your air intake after installing CAI, it's blocked by the huge stock washer bottle so logic would suggest this will get more air in.. It just seemed to me if you spend $400 for the nicest intake out there, you may as well do it right ( and I like mods) . The install was simple if you can read and watch the videos here. Normal hand tools and a Dremel cut off wheel is all that's needed, no fabrication, it all bolts up.
