Looks really good. I think it actually looks better in black, but I'm sure it will look awesome painted too.

I think the new one is the way to go. Also I think the whole kit would look awesome if it was all painted a satin flat black to give some contrast. Either way its a great looking car considering I hate body kits**

Paint it and install it, looks good, IMHO. Is that a wings west item if so can I ask how it mounts? I have one of theirs for my car, its hanging in the garage, I hate using double sided tape so until I can figure a better mounting method there it hangs. PLMK, thanks, killer ride!

I really don't know what brand it is. I found it on ebay. They call it EVO Camaro front lip, and it comes with mounting screws to mount it. I'm really surprised how well it fits considering how cheap it was. My grill is a wing west brand.

Although I don't care for the flat parts on the sides -which don't flow with the car- or the overly done flares, it will still probably look better than the factory toe piece once it is painted to match. I personally think the wings west and rksport front pieces are probably the best looking options. A member here (thecobrahunter) had the wingswest front on his z28 and I always loved the look of his car. The rksport one is a simple looking piece that brings it together, I just wish they designed it better in the way it mates to the car. It appears to have somewhat of a gap where it meets on the sides.

But these days I prefer the look of no kit at all.. rear valences always look good though!

Wow, one of the nicest Camaro's I've seen on this site in years. I think it looked perfect before with the full RS style kit but I would get that front valance painted and see how it looks, it's definitely not bad.

*********Update*************
Got it painted and taped it on there to see what it looked like. I like it better than the factory ones. I think I'm going to add a carbon fiber grille. I think it will flow good with the black headlights and parking lens.

WHO has these for the 4th gen LS1 cars??

IF those wheels were all satin black, that would be one of the nicest 4th gen Camaros I've ever seen.

I did a C6 ZO6 Brake conversion. Got the calipers from local dealership and the brackets from KORE3 brakes. Here is the thread when I did the conversion.
