The stock Camaro body dominates all body kits. I'm not a fan of ground effects on musclecars.

i think some kit that flares out the fenders and quarters would be AWSOME...i could fit bigger meats out back and in front than i have now w/ out the rubbing problems i have now....there are a few of those kits for vettes, and the ricers have always had them, but i want them too

yeah something that would make the car actually attempt to wrap around the wheels.

and yeah in the 60s, we could trust automakers to make something pretty and powerful.

not so now, so some kits as well as hood stylings can help.

yea, especially behind the wheels...w/ the 315's, my bumper is solid brake dust and road debris even after a 2 mile trip...behind my front wheels is always rock chips and bugs and other thicker road debris...i want a wide kit mainly for that, but something that i could fit bigger tires on and something to help aerodynamics slightly on the back where the tires slightly stick out

all thats made for f-bodys are lip kits. no full front and back pieces. of those i only know of 5-6. i have never understood this.i hate the way the seams look they never seem to fit good all around. the after market could really come out with a sick (non-ricer looking kit.)the flared fenders would be really sweet too,like the purple GM car. they make several really nice full body kits for the c-5,but thats a whole different spectrum of buyers with more money to spend. when done right i think a kit really shapes up a f-body and can definately set it apart from the rest.i have to agree though, i dont like them on a lot of f-bodys. i molded mine and tried to keep it smooth and clean.these pics are really old,ive done some since then but my ditgital cam. was stolen. anyway here they are willispeed

Yep, the C5R GM Performance Camaro is THE only body kit I'd ever consider. Wide body kits are awesome. Here are some more photos:

so anyways, the GM car one is good yeah.

something that wraps around the wheels better

something that helps out the fenders and quaters

something that integrates the whole car not just lip area
