How much will an RS body kit weigh me down?

I like the look of the RS body kit, along with a couple of other body kits. Anyone have any idea how much they weigh? I'm not really sure if the look is going to be worth the weight. Thanks.

Damn you guys are hurting my feelings, but I'm with you, if the car hadn't started out as my wifes it wouldn't have ground effects. But with the RK sport front it looks pretty mean.

Might increase drag, but the car will look more finished and complete with the bodykit. A Camaro with a handful of appearance mods but no bodykit just looks like it's incomplete.

It won't weigh it done much at all and even with the extra drag that could be created it won't be anything you'll ever notice.

Not a big fan of the RS fx, you might want to look into some alternatives. Although as it is, your SS looks great I wouldnt mess with it.

if i had your car, id just go with lowering it. i dont think the RS kit would look bad though.

and to answer your question, i remember when i got my ww gfx in the mail they were much lighter than i had anticipated, much much lighter. though i have no exact numbers for you. definitely nothing you would ever notice.
