im not worried about how much it cost, im just saying that since i couldnt get it added to my order, i might as well wait and pay wholesale cost on ebay. retail is the 2500, invoice was a few hundred less, and im sure ill be able to get ahold of them on ebay for less than 2000. for not seeing them in person and getting the feel for them i am scared to spend 2500 on something that i am not totally sold on. i am sold on the rear diffuser and the side skirts, but the front is what im leary about.
Having looked at the ground effects on the Camaro quite a bit, what exactly are your concerns with the front?
I know why I don't run a racing splitter on my Z06, although I do run all the other lower downforce pieces from the World Challenge bodywork... It would get destroyed on the street in short order. I have toyed with a quick release so I could run in on a roadcourse, remove for the street.

Getting the best possible price? Nothing wrong with that way of thinking. whatsoever!

I personally like the look it add to the car. I am linking to these shots from another forum which illustrate best what the look and statement the kit makes.
Here's a good illustration of the side rocker extensions and rear diffuser:
The front splitter doesn't extend that far, IMO:

I gotta tell you a funny story...
You have to understand, I enjoy enthusiast car shows. I can have a great time checking out cars on grass or whatever surface.
I have entered my car in cars shows with zero hopes of a trophy. Really, cars are more fun to drive and looking at them is truly good, but second best, IMO.
Anyway.... I went to a Corvette club event which ended with a stay at Chateau Elan, which is a hotel on the Sebring track property.
Every car in the event was entered into a "car show" judged by the staff and employees of the hotel.
No one could be more shocked when my totally unwashed, unwaxed Z06 WON!!!
Why? The comment from the judges was that my Corvette looked like the cars that run in races at Sebring. "It looks like a "Racer's" car was the reason.
It's all a part of the fun. Both camps can learn from the other. Both camps love their cars just as much.
It's all about an open mind and heart. When you do that you really start to learn and teach at the same time.
