Default RKsport or OEM Sports Appearance Front?

First off I am not removing my ground effects so if anyone has that thought keep it to yourself please.
Now that that is out of the way I have been thinking about changing up my car a little bit. I have a Sunoco bolt-on hood sitting in the garage ready to be put on. While I am doing that I have been torn between keeping the 2 split OEM pieces on my car and switching it up to the RKsport Piece. Let me know what you think I am torn between the two pieces and would like to replace this if I decide to before I get my hood painted so I can do both at once.

OEM


RKsport

I am not sure where I got the picture but if you say its yours I would say so. Is this your car or just a car you had seen? If its yours do you have any other pictures of it with that front on I would like to see it from other angles- straight on from the side etc.

I think the rk sport looks bad *** in that color i have a black z with stock oem gfx, but im missing my front right kit so if you get rid of the kit let me know if u wanna just sell it.. But i think only certain cars can pull of the rksport and red n silver camaros are two ive seem to notice alot..

RK the OEM piece is nothing other than two slabs of plastic slapped on the fascia, they look outta place. And have it molded too.

I voted RK Sport. I've always really like their GFX for LT1s and LS1s. For some reason I STILL love this car...

not a fan of body kits either, but if you HAVE to have either, get rid of the current and get the rk sport it doesnt look all that bad

I wonder if there would be a way for you to have some fabrication done to attach the two OEM front pieces so it just looks like one, full, complete piece instead of two separate ones? Just a thought, but if it can be done within reason, I think it would look fantastic.

RKsport ones, I really like the 93-97 gfx they have that has the 91-92 Z28 style scoop by the rear tire. If I ever got gfx, that'd be the one.

RKsport! Like others have said, I don't like the two factory pieces on the side, it looks incomplete. If I had a car with the factory appearence package I'd definitely get the RK front piece

I plan on doing a black with machined face billet grille as well. Hoping it will go with the wheels. So that should be done in the near future.

the only prob is that if you buy just the front peice its like $250 in shipping so its like $400...



i hate mine, i was going to do the same thing. BTW i would sell both of mine for $200/shipped
