Looks good but dang I'd be so scared to do the cutting!!!!

[@salvadorlopez-ol4ul]

I’ve been waiting for this video for weeks! At first I was like “ehh, I don’t like it” but now seeing it installed, it looks really clean. Great job with the install👍 and I’d say that would be at least a +5 hp gain for each vent lol

[@Reniconix]

Honestly, I'm personally not a fan of the look. Don't like how it doesn't really follow the body lines on the lower half. Top half looks great but the bottom half is distracting. That said, great guide, keep 'em coming!

[@XDMWeaponCollector]

Thank got somebody had the balls to do and document in depth how to do this. I'm actually looking to do both the big mouth mail slot and the T3 scoops on my 5th gen SS and was wondering how good the templates were. Great job bud

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

That black Camaro looks sic. My first car was a 71 Camaro, I loved that car and still love the 2nd gen body style to this day but when I saw the "New" Camaro when chevy brought it back a few years ago it made me drool, just a beautiful design. Great vid too.

[@danielbustos16]

Try not to scratch the pain - Kyle 2017 While theres a huge hole in the fender

[@Willcox1984]

In my opinion, I believe it should flash in amber and illuminate in the white like the front DRL’s.

[@Lethalgarage]

Technically you could reverse it.

[@andrewhagerman1614]

I just got these put in today. The light behavior is different on mine. The orange color appears and blinks only when the turn signal is on. Otherwise it's a solid white light (not solid orange like in the video). I think the orange should appear with the turn signal. Maybe check your wiring?

[@Davidzl1one]

I’m surprised the paint did not chip around the edges 😬 brave dude brave great job leathal 👍🙌😎 I wonder how it will look if you cut out a LT-1 badge and insert that badge from the inside of the fender 🤔

[@Lethalgarage]

Good luck finding someone who can do that precise work :)

[@Davidzl1one]

LethalGarage wonder how it would look 👀

[@darkskies45]

No way would I do that.

[@kasane3757]

Great upload as always :) can't wait to buy and install this myself!

[@PaulW98Z]

So, I’m asking this only 4 minutes into the vid, but would it be better just to remove the front fenders to do this instead? Would give you complete unobstructed access to the back of the fenders plus ease of movement around them. You could work off of a table and not on a vertical plane. Just curious.

[@yadrianvaldes4635]

You did it right looks awesome man LOL it make me think that I should drive all the way from here from Florida to your house to do it in my car. Great job

[@markday6524]

Looks great who is next? Matt!

[@brayandeleon2411]

Damaged the passenger side fender doing donuts and have to get it replaced. I know it’s tough getting an estimate but don’t want to over pay. Can you please tell me how much I’m looking at for a new white fender for a 2016 camaro with installation?

[@Crankone]

Looks really good!You guys are brave cutting holes in your car I would have soldered the wires instead of the blue elec connectors, are you going to vent the back and would you do this to your car Matt? If you did do yours would the vents be white? or black I wonder how that would look?

[@Lethalgarage]

+Camerica I like the look on black, if I did get them, they would have to be black. White might mute it too much imo.

[@rrigaud77]

Which tool did you use??? It cut through the sheet metal easily and easy to cut around curves.. any info would be appreciated

[@OnlinecarshowNet1]

Wrapped it like a boss. I so want to add this vent to mine but scared to cut :)

[@Sandkei]

You need big "kahoonas" to do this mod. Well done Matt!

[@SK-GT]

Nice video as always Matt

[@vrcmag]

Question- The top isn't parallel to the ground, and the gill lines. The front doesn't follow the curve of the fender? Is this how it was supposed to look? It looks tilted right (on the passenger side anyway). Just curious if that was their intended lines, or what happened :)

[@vrcmag]

Maybe it's just in the video, hard to tell. Doesn't look terrible installed, hard to see in black.

[@Lethalgarage]

+vrcmag probably the angle of the car or the tap is throwing your eye off

[@rickmerryman3475]

The emblem you took off won’t that fit were the acs emblem is . It looked like it would if you want to keep it on the fender.

[@Lethalgarage]

Its way to big.

[@albertgarcia7091]

Is this legit a heat extractor or functional?

[@Lethalgarage]

It is not, it is a design item only.

[@albertgarcia7091]

Oh ok thanks

[@dannycarwile1330]

I think the back should have been lined up with the door seam then the front curve would have matched the curve of the wheel well. (I think)

[@Reaper33333]

Not a fan but, nice job on the install. Enjoy all your videos matt.

[@Lethalgarage]

+Reaper33333 Thank you

[@bwboley87]

When I get my 6th gen, im going to head your way from Oregon and say here you do lol

[@Lethalgarage]

+bwboley87 sounds good

[@ricardojimenez1806]

Been waiting for this! Dam wish I could just pay you to do mine lol

[@Miguel_RST]

What's that blue circle thing in front of the camaro in the thumbnail?

[@ErickPardo]

Did you access the back of the headlamp for the power connection from inside the wheel well?

[@Lethalgarage]

Yes

[@sergiomoreira7705]

Wow nicely done! Welcome to THE LETHAL BODY SHOP! haha

[@Spaceman2484]

Please please please tell me what those wheels are!

[@slothin21]

The acs tab on the insert is hideous....no way would i want that. Other than that it looks pretty good, great job

[@DaxxTerryGreen]

Really good looking however I would have eliminated the ACS badge.

[@kodiakk1765]

Looks great but would be scared $#@#&%$ to cut my car. Question. Where did you get your LT1 emblems Matt. I like the emblem pro ones but yours are even nicer.

[@Lethalgarage]

Mine are emblem pros.

[@kodiakk1765]

Sorry Matt, I guess I missed that install. Found it, watched it. I thought I watched them all, but.....Thanks to all your input and knowledge, I sold my 2LT, and took delivery of my 2SS Fifty anniversary model yesterday. So much more car. WOW. Now I have to watch all your vids again. Gonna be a great weekend of binge watching. ( with frequent breaks for a drive here and there) Did you straight install or clean up the edges, they look very clean. Thanks again for all your help. My dealer now uses your vids as a learning tool for their sales team HA.

[@spidey197012]

Not a fan of the look, I guess if the car was other then black maybe the ACS would pop more like on a white car. Also with the vents in it when you wash the car would the water get in the fender. If so would it drain out or would it get stuck in the fender.

[@Lethalgarage]

+spidey197012 the fenders have drain holes

[@johndelpozzo8402]

what was the cutting tool you used?

[@livinglife8489]

John Del Pozzo I believe it’s a sheet metal nibbler.

[@Lethalgarage]

Yup@!

[@thynysan]

Please, for the love of God, tell me what kind of 5 spoke wheels are on that car.

[@hmackprotection1]

That thumbnail is legit af

[@Lethalgarage]

Thanks

[@hmackprotection1]

LethalGarage 👊

[@55gopi]

We need to have a class for Matt and teach him about Canada and how to draw a maple leaf Looool

[@Lethalgarage]

+G.S.R Your Canadian representative couldn’t draw one either ;)

[@55gopi]

LethalGarage ahahahahha I'm just kidding around love the content man hope everything is good!!!

[@JayyNation]

Can you do this for my car?? I’ll pay you handsomely in trident layers! But seriously I would pay you if you could install these on to my camaro

[@Lethalgarage]

I wish I had the time. This took us a long time to finish. I also lack the tool to cut the car now :(

[@JayyNation]

LethalGarage thanks for the reply it’s all good!

[@ivanmarrero28]

Gut wrenching but it looks sweet I was sweating over here too !!!

[@Lethalgarage]

So was I :L)

[@slimd98]

Man,,,that was scary,,they don't stick out as much as I thought they would,,✌

[@invertedpolarity6890]

Do these add any actual function?

[@Lethalgarage]

They vent the fender and add another blinker to the car? /shrug

[@rrigaud77]

Dont like it at all but to each his own. Does not look bad on the black but in any other color... i dont know.... Doesnt seem like it follows the car's lines well enough. But its just my opinion. At least i know not to buy this product. Either way great job Mat and great vid.

[@Animal3pct]

zip it tied? i think i have heard you say this a number of times. Add that to your list of weird things you say. To properly say this word it would go like "I'm going to zip tie the wires in place".

[@StreetSpeed904]

Diablo Formula Racing doesn’t read instructions Mat.

[@Lethalgarage]

Very true.

[@bravo9890]

What wheels are those?

[@Lethalgarage]

+Black Dragn MRR

[@drizztatk]

I have to admit I didn’t watch the entire video but it’s not for me but I’ve seen worse lol. I’d actually be afraid of what water will do being able to get in there now.

[@Lethalgarage]

+drizztatk water was already able to get in there.

[@RoadhogRNA]

WOW Guys... I love the videos but i'm definitely not a fan of this. That reminds me way too much of the Pontiac T/A's. Nice installation job.

[@Lethalgarage]

Those TA's are trying to make a comeback

[@thomashalikas4812]

that is too cool !

[@raydelfa1125]

You did a great job though

[@blunkster71]

Jeez US. Spend 300 for ac for t h.g at place son...no noise, comfort level 8

[@claudiozedda3141]

No way would I cut my fenders for this visual upgrade

[@joehafley8352]

Is there anything you CAN’T do, Matt???

[@Lethalgarage]

+Joe Hafley Probably

[@justindesilets3526]

LethalGarage fly.

[@dominickirkwood]

I love it

[@weirdharold7635]

Those wire taps are crap solder n shrink tube is the best way

[@2ambaby198]

I love your man cave 👌

Who wins around the track, a 2013 Porsche Boxer S with 226 lb/ft of torque or a 17 camaro SS 1LE. I’m betting this guy $1700 I’ll beat him at the track. His car is stock.

[@Lethalgarage]

ummm... his car is very much not stock :) Be careful he might take that bet.

[@sleasy01]

Ummmm. Yea. I'm the guy that buys the adhesive ones and be done with it

[@null2470]

But why?

[@artagain8977]

Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) once said "A man's got to know his limitations..."

[@bucketoftruthify]

yuk (jmo). but to each their own. Good video though.

[@1MicroCPU]

Still looks getthhoooo

[@raydelfa1125]

I would never ever cut my fenders... Yikes Matt ! Bad mod! Lol

[@tutscafe1625]

No fucking way am I doing this 😭😢

[@raydelfa1125]

Ewwwww, they say ACS on them too. Fuck that......

[@christianslense455]

Good job. Cheapens the car imo. I prefer not to leave unpainted unprimed cut sheet metal on a Camaro😋 but if you got it like that pop some plastic crap over the hole and call it good😁😎
