Re: Ground effects... yeah or ney? FWIW, I didn't want GFX. I wanted the SOM color and the dealer had a great deal on one that had them. I like the side/back and rear spoiler, but the front GFX are seriously ugle and are now getting scratched up on every curb I pull up to <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
Re: Ground effects... yeah or ney? Some I like and some can only be called RICE <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
As general, I always see them on unlowered cars and that to me makes them a half-assed substatute for lowering. <img border="0" alt="[punch]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />
Don't get me wrong, if a car is lowered AND has them they can look really cool, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> but this is really had to do (ground clearance).
I have seen some that I would like to have but to me they are just too much of a problem. Because my car is lowered, I am sure that I would never get into parking lots and over speed bumps. The first time I tried to get into my driveway I would just rip the front one clean off. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Ground effects... yeah or ney? They came stock(Sports Appearance Package) on my old 2000 Z28 and I never really cared for them. They do give the Camaro a more aggressive/racier look, but at the same time they also make the Camaro look like an oversized boat IMO. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
Seriously, either way is cool but I prefer ALL 4th gen Camaro's without them.
