I love the color and the ground effects, but which front lip is that? Also is that how it is supposed to look? It kind of looks as if its not attached to the front of the bumper.

The car looks great but that front spoiler piece looks off. Seems like it's raked to far in the front relative to the back. Maybe it's just the picture but something looks strange in that area.

In all honesty, I liked the way it looked before, but to each their own.

yeah that front lip looks like it was pulled under to far in the middle so the edges by the wheels could be raked up higher then they are supposed to sit, looks way off, like someone who had no idea how it was supposed to fit installed it.

like others said, I would have ditched the kit entirely, camaro body lines don't flow well with one.

atleast you whistler modded and got rid of the chrome wheels (or repainted them?).
