I like the factory ground effects also.I think a center mount exhaust on the rear and different front would look really good.

Guys now come on steve dont have the car anymore its time for her to start modding it even more.Good luck and send me some pics with what you get.

The Xenon kit wouldn't take much to mold in. The front matches the existing seam on the front. The sides tuck up inside the door. The only thing that would need to be molded is the rear valence.

I have Xenon and am very happy with it.
If you want to see it on a pewter Z with the chrome Z06 wheels, there are pics on my site.

I have also. The front towards the middle grille and the sides near the tires are spidering. There are also a few places on the side parts. How long have you had yours?

I agree! Steve's old car is perfect as it sits. Spend the money on new wheels to spice things up a bit. But please don't go with GFX!

I'm not a fan of gfx on Camaros. The factory body lines are too subtle for add on fiberglass bulk.

Ground effects ruin the smoothness of Camaro's. It makes them appear way too tall and not sleek anymore. I cannot understand how people think they look good. They're ugly. Terrible.

Well since everyone is throwing in their $0.02, i think the Xenon GFX look great on the car.. Don't get me wrong, i love the way my Z looks, but I think the Xenon kit looks awesome too. Plus, if everyone wanted to look the same, we would all drive civics
