LOL This is true, I just can't see lifting the front tires off the ground with the kit on

Plus, after I lowered it a year ago I can't get it onto any lifts wo the front side lips hitting which is going to be a pain when changing rims / rear end / cam.

Day is nearing, and I am getting nervous

Nice man! After looking at them it seems that our color is the most frequent amongst the rest, as goes for the rims too lol Do you happen to know what our color is from GM / paint code? I believe its just "Bright Red" but I'm not sure.

Feel free to add my photos along to it if you'd like.

DO IT!!!!!! TAKE THOSE OFF!!! My car is living proof... Well, not living per say... but you get the idea. Looks so much meaner without the kit. I used to be on the fence about it and liked the kit, but it was when I was a tad younger. I really prefer the meaner look without the kit. Plus, it doesn't flow as well as I used to think it does.

Here's a few pics and a video to show off the differences.

mine before...





AFTER...

If you're not going to fix all of the holes in a short period of time then i would leave the kit on and wait until you can afford to do it right.

In all honesty I don't think they look THAT bad. If anything, get rid of the rear lip and add a CME and maybe swap the front lip spoiler for a splitter

I removed it. Im VERY happy with my decision, my holes aren't filled yet but they're hardly noticeable unless you're within 5 feet. Do it, you wont regret it.

So I removed the kit guys, I do love how the car looks. Really revealed the muscle hiding behind it.

I want to thank all of you, love the kit or hate it. I appreciate all the feedback. I loved it at first, still do like it, but people change, and image that I am going to create for this car, I thought, and now I know I made the right decision.

However, I won't be fixing the holes for awhile. Has anyone ever just made a temporary fix and used bondo and touch up paint for the time being. (The holes really dont look that bad on mine)

I will be posting pics but prob not till after Christmas, I need to clean up some small grime spots.
