I like them both but I especially like a lowered F-Body with the body kit that makes it look closer to the road. IMHO I like the body kit...

Rice, to me, is when you have a 100 HP POS with racing stickers and body parts and nothing to back it up. The body kit is not rice.

The body kit isn't rice, different people like different things. Personally I like the CME better because i like the CLEAN lines of a stock camaro. The kit makes the car look too cluttered to me, especially the nose. The CME doesnt change the lines of the car, it just enhances them a little.

I dont like the cme personally. I love the second pic with that body kit. I believe thats someone on here's car.

Some people also need to learn what rice is. no offense 68bird but a lot of people are quick to call rice on everything.

They each look good in their own way. I think people need to be unique, so every car doesn't look like every other one.

I'm sure at least one person will pic the red Camaro with the ground effects since that is their car and they're also a member of this board.
