haha. its all in good humor. well in all honesty I think GFX on camaros look better in white. others look pretty good-ok. lol. You do have a nice car though considering it it has the "rental car look". I like the stance and the chrome rims on red.

Thanks! All the GFX need to look good is some springs and a nice set of wheels. I wish GM would have put a little more effort into the kit. On the Trans Am they added a different front and rear bumper to match the side skirts. Would have been nice to see that on the camaro too.

I like my Gfx. I need to get some new wheels and lower it but I still like the GFX better than none. I don't like the spoiler addition because it makes the car look huge from the back. gfx + wheels + SS hood and wing = sex

I can't say I'm a "Fan" of GFX because a lot of them look like trash. HOWEVER, there absolutely some out there that look damn good. UnVMySS car is a perfect example of a good looking GFX car. Not too little not to much.

Its funny how the 4th gens, no one wants the ground effects, but I also own a third gen and everyone wants them for their 3rd gens. Hell, I shelled out $400 for a mint set for my 91.

Y3F is the RPO code or option from the factory. I've never seen a TRUE SS with one but I don't know for sure.

after 97 RS was dropped and Y3F took its place, no SS's got the Y3F, according to Scott Settlemire (fbody father) it cost to much to have them shipped to SLP, then to the GFX plant and back to GM, but he did say one slip through and got sent to all 3 plants, but doesn't remember what year the car was.

Ok, good enough for me if at least one had it. My SS is obviously a clone (94 z28) but looks like a 98-02 SS right now.
