Funny I have never heard of this issue, I know many montes back in the day on the 2K board and one or 2 local and who had the razzi kit never heard of this issue...

I had the razzi kit on since like 2001-2008 before the turbo and never had a heat issue with it, and no heat issues caused by the Razzi kit since the turbo has been on.

Thanks for clarifying.

I just heard that it blocks the flow of the air with that bottom air dam, and at the time I was reading that, it made sense to me.

I can see how it could, but I think the air dam sits just a bit lower then the ground effect...still my car has never gotten warmer then 180 from this the ground effect, and I don't think it's something that hampers it so much that it effects the power, just my experience

I hear ya Montelicious, it has been a while since I ordered them so I forgot how much they cost...out of curiosity how much does GM charge for the SC ground effects...

As for more, pics I enjoy photography so I have tons of pics of my cars and everyone else's I know so hopefully I don't over do it:

A heck of a lot more than aftermarket and near impossible to find also.
