East coast storm on top of us again. So I bought this snow blade from a Chevy Suburban. Q; How do you attach it to the front of our Camaro? I drilled some holes in the front facia but can't seem to find anything to bolt the eye hooks to. Any members with pics, please post up. Thanks

No, No, No!!! You attach the snow plow to the convertible top, that way you can raise and lower the plow as needed. jeesh!

Now there is a difference between the 3/4 ton and the 1 ton blade hope you got the right one [Big Grin] . Did the LE stripes come with it to match ?

HAve you run it at the track with the blade on? Just wondering...was thinking of this mod as well...not sure of the aerodynamics though of it. [Big Grin] [Razz] [Big Grin]

Depending on the way that the blade is angled it could greatly decrease the wind drag hitting the nose area [Big Grin] .Now as long as the bottom area is properly angled to the ground with very little clearence so the true aerodynamics can suck up the front a little and give a downward push to the rear will you truley feel the hoarse power increase of this mod [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Big Grin] [Razz] .

Got it at home sometimes the work computer will bog down and home will have no problems [Roll Eyes] .

I knew that GM picked the right color for the LE see how far in front the RED one is over the other one [Cool] .

A good observation. But GM was not trying to hide that fact.

If you'll notice, the non-RED one has a large decal on the windshield. It has the letters SLP on it. If you look really close and read the fine print, this stands for "Somewhat Less Plowing".

Just thought we should clear that up.

When the plow is up is there a lot of front end sag and do the springs feel weak when traveling? Too funny.
