Im sure this has been done before, but lets get an updated poll!

Are you considering a center mount exhaust valance a ground effect? Also the Dick Harrell type front bumper? What about splitters? If these are included in the "GFX" then yes, I like them, but just these. I do not care for full body kits, like the stock one or RKSport. I feel like bigger wheels are needed to make the stock body kits, and ones like RKSport, look at home. That's just me though, and to each his own.

I've had a SS without factory gfx and a z28 with gfx and I like the gfx for sure. Makes it look more aggressive.

I've seen a few i liked and looked good, but most nah not for me. I wouldn't say i would never put one on or they can be done right, but most i see driving around look really bad and would look way better without, just kinda cheap looking imo.

nice car, what size wheels are those on your car? What do you think would look better with stock gfx, 17-18 staggered deep dish z06 rims or 18-19 staggered?

The y3f package also looks more "filling". Seems like the outside if the fbody looks a little like it's missing something. I can see both sides, and both sides do have arguments. But in my case, y3f ftw. Just my vote and .02

9 times out of 10 I don't like them. No, I'm not a fan of the factory RS kit either. Looks like it was just kinda stuck on and doesn't belong... seems to be that way with most factory style kits actually.

There are a few exceptions, I've seen a couple cars where the kit finished the look and was great. But generally, no, not for me. But to each his own.
