Default Body Kit Thoughts

I know nearly everyone on here thinks that body kits are crap. Rice, RIce, Rice. But what about something tasteful that essentially lowers the vehicle on all sides without scraping issues?
For example:


I already bought it and would be losing money if I tried to sell it. Put it on or what?

Put it on man, i think it looks pretty good. kind of sets the car apart from all the other stock z28's. Dont get me wrong, i do prefer the look of the SS but id rather have a z28 with an RS kit than just a stock one, it looks too plain.

my personal favorite is the vizage kit (flame suit on) it just makes the cars look so much more exotic

Factory Camaro kits are somewhat cheesy and don't flow with the body lines of the car, but the aftermarket ones seem to blend better. Personally, I'd rather have the tiny holes left by removing factory GFX than rolling around with them on the car.

I just prefer a cleaner looking car I suppose.

LX 5.0 Mustangs better than 5.0 GT's
Formulas better than Trans Ams
regular Camaros better than RS's

+1.....that said, the one in your sig is the most tasteful I've seen. Go for it if you like it.
