The grille and the hood make it look like it has to many things goin on. On the red car it looks more clean and a little more mello. On the silver car it's just to much. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

On the red one it is not too bad. On the silver one, it looks very fagly and fugly. But the hood scope on the silver one looks awesome. Which aftermarket company did it? The over sized scoop looks great <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: Xenon Body Kit: Nice or Rice?
I am not a big fan of them either but that is mainly because they just get screwed up, especially in the front. And speaking of front, the only think I dont like about it is how it doesnt come all the way around in the front.

Try to run a Camaro w/o the big black air damn down below and watch your temperature gauge go through the roof. That big thing isn't just a curb feeler.

Re: Xenon Body Kit: Nice or Rice?
Those ground effects look pretty badass but they look crappy on the red one for some reason. I've seen them on silver and black camaros and they looked pretty bad ***, get the full kit though. It look dumb with the normal sideskirts and the Xenon front bumper. The one in the top pictures though needs to loose that hood

The red Camaro looks much better than the pewter one. Simply because the pewter colored Camaro only has the Xenon front bumper and the stock side ground effects. The Xenon kit looks good only if you have the FULL kit.

Re: Xenon Body Kit: Nice or Rice?
I love my WW gFX! I considered the xenon kit but did not like the front. Its a tad bit too wild for the camaro. IMHO it screws with the smooth lines with the car. Also I dont like the rear cause it doesnt really compliment the exhuast well i think

Re: Xenon Body Kit: Nice or Rice?
A front ground effect piece that goes completey across the front of the car CAN be installed. However, you have to modify the air dam underneath the car to compensate.
The person that said you CAN NOT was correct about the temperature going through the roof, BUT if you extend the original air dam 1-2", not only does this bring the temperature back down, but my temperature is now constantly cooler than it ever was.
I myself have a pieced together kit... I'm not sure of the manufacturer of the front piece (maybe RKSport), sides by Xenon and rear by SLP (comes with quad exhaust kit).
