Too many are afraid of being ripped on by chaman for their honest opinions.

They can very very rarely look good.

Factory RS junk looks tacked on, the spoiler being the absolute worst part.

It's not bad from a ways away, but once you get close enough to see it's the standard v6 or z/28 spoiler with a piece of plastic glued onto it....

It's a textbook example of "tacked on".

Heres my honest opinion....I LOVE the factory RS kit. I would have kept my 3rd gen if the 4th gen didnt come with a gfx kit. I personally like the RS spoiler than the played out SS spoiler since a ton of people wanna make their non SS car look like an SS. ("There are many differnet cars/ trucks that can be a SS, But only a camaro can be a Z28")
Back on topic, The RS spoiler squares the rear end a little. The only thing I dont care for is the front lip. the center part looks a little "un-finished". Thinking about betting a rk sport lip or a wings west lip. probably not though. The RS GFX makes the car look bigger, sporty, aggresive and more "classy". In my personal opinion, no offence to all whos cars look like this, but camaros without the GFX kit looks like a rental cars of the late 90's early 2000. The only reason, if any, I would take of my RS kit is if I had a drag setup. "But to each his own". "different storkes for different folks"

Heres a few pics of mine...

There's no question that Camaros can look good with ground effects, but the same car could look even better without it IMO. I'm a fan of the smooth body lines/simple look though.

Guess I needed to add a little something to my "rental car" lol

Really though, my dad used to have a '99 with the RS kit. I loved the car, but after I got mine I didn't like the kit as well. Doesn't mean it can't look good (yours for example), I just prefer them without most of the time.
