Okay, seeing that this is what you asked for, here are some options available to you:

Vizage body kit



RKSport body kit


Xenon body kit



Wings West body kit




And just to play both sides of the coin, while I've never had anyone come up to me and tell me how crappy my body kit looks, I frequently have people, even old-school sports car guys in their 50's and 06's, come up to me (be it at Target, gas stations, McDonalds) telling me that they like the look of my car. And while opinions greatly vary, bottom line, it is your car.

Actually, it's the Wings West kit.

And I paid $199 for the tinting of the sides and the back; came with a lifetime guarantee, and the shop that installed it is till around.

I never understood why it looks "ricer" on a Camaro and not on a Firebird, Mustang, M3, Viper, etc. Besides it's your car and your interpretation of what looks good. I still get coments from guys my age why I don't have a car from the 60's, been there done that and I would not go back. Besides I'm getting trophys with what I have, a car I built to my own liking. Been waiting awhile to say that so FLAME ON!!

Wish I could tell you. Did my suspension at the same time as the kit, which I believe has a bigger roll in the handling than the kit provides. People behind me tell me that on winding curves, the car has almost zero body roll. But really, the kit (particularly) the front lip, doesn't start being effective until after 75-80mph or so.
