Do I like my ground effects?
I'm not so sure anymore... So many people's cars look slick as hell without them. I've just had them on for as long as I can remember (factory RS effects) that I can't even picture it without them. Please give me some feedback on this. I'm so torn

Exactly what 2_wacko said. I decided to remove mine, and now I am sick of looking at the holes, so I'm gonna have to pay to get the sides welded and painted, and the rear spoiler area painted as well, since I switched to the SS spoiler. I highly regret that decision.

I think they look pretty clean on your car and they look good with the SS wheels and with your cars stance. I would take the side moldings off the doors to give it an even cleaner look.

I like them on white cars with chrome wheels...just like yours. I too had the "Sport Appearance Package" gfx, and I took them off 1 year ago this month and never looked back I personally hated my car with gfx once I lowered it and put 17" wheels on. But yours looks pretty good.

I honestly like the look of Camaros better without them, but that's just me. I think that if you want to take them off, go for it, but be prepared to spend a ton of money fixing all the holes and having things repainted. If you leave them on, get an RKSport front GFX piece, they look great. I think it looks good on your car with the chrome wheels and it makes it unique, so go ahead and leave them on.

Its nowhere near as noticable now, but at least water wont get in there and rust from the inside out.
