Love the ZL1 bumper...any issues with fit and finish ? Everything looks great just want to be sure about quality and fit before I decide on this

I've not had any issues whatsoever. There are a dozen people I could point you towards if you'd like a consensus and not just my opinion, but so far i've heard nothing but great things.

Awesome build man. Looks beautiful. Question about the window scoops. Do they just trap air in them or does the back of it allow the forced air to come out? Obviously the amount of drag is probably minimal anyways, I’m just curious. And do they make any air noises or vibrations at highway speeds?

Thanks.

It is a pocket, but it only goes so deep, probably an inch to inch and a half. So it's possible they trap air, but I'd bet it's very minimal. However to answer your other question, no I've not noticed any air noises/whistles with windows up or down.

New addition to sstormtroopr camaro today. American Authority rear window louvers. I'm in love....

Now I just need to get them painted gloss black.

Update: I painted them black, and made a "DIY" found here http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showth...1#post10121683

A view of the American Authority louvers from the inside.

theCATALYST · 02-18-2018, 08:23 PM

Another new addition. American Authority darkened LED side markers. These things are bright!

theCATALYST · 02-18-2018, 08:36 PM

A chance to take pictures is never passed up.

Awesome! Can't wait to see them. Install all aluminum brackets to louvers, hand tight on the acorn nuts. Clean windshield and brackets with alcohol completely. Add provided tape. Line up top edge Or louvers with top of glass (and extra set of hands is great here). Firmly press down at all bracket points. Remove acorn nuts and remove louvers. This allows you a chance to firmly press each bracket into the glass. When you remount the louvers, don't overtighten the nuts, hand tight will work sufficiently.

2 more new American Authority products installed over the weekend. Their Rear valance and their new diffuser attachment. Definitely changes the look of the rear.

I used this as a guide to make them http://www.dodge-dart.org/forum/gene...#/topics/25510

Just start with a cardboard or foamboard model first and knce you get the length and shape correct, trace it out on some aluminum.

Added some detail to the American Authority diffuser.
