Camaro's don't need body kits, their look is too smooth to be adding those sharp lines. They don't really look good with 9/10 kits on the market.

I'm not one to toss around this word, but if anything is Rice on a Camaro, it's that front bumper. There are a few other ways you can go with a Camaro to make the front bumper look nicer, take your time.

R I C E. If anything just do the front splitter or the rksport lip kit. Bodykits like the one shown belong on imports.

thats so rice its not even funny. Its a poopra wannabe. If you want a body kit like that get an import. On a side note if its REALLY something that you want to do then its you looking at your car at the end of a day. Just please do it to a v6 instead.
