Question Should I take the SAP off?

Pic in sig. I absolutely hate the sport appearance package and want to take it off, the only thing that has stopped me before is my car is at stock height and the SAP makes it look lower and the fact that there are little rub marks along the bottom of the car. If I wasnt paying damn tickets I would have the dough to lower it and put some wheels on but it will be a few months till that happens. Should I take it off or leave it till i get rims and lowered than take it off or leave it on altogether?

Please take it off. That's what I did. It looks terrible, like they just stuck some random pieces on. :yuk: No offense to your car, but that's my opinion.

I vote to leave it on. When I set out looking for a camaro, that was my main option it had to have. I love the look with the ground effects, mainly because you see alot less LS1 cars ordered that way. I say get your wheels and lower it and have a car that stands out above others in your area.

I really don't think it matters, Personally i like it on certain cars especially one like yours but i mean its your choice. I would say keep it unless your plan is mainly performance.

Damn, too many keep its. The problem with mine is the 2 front peices arent on there very well, the seems dont match at all, it looks horrible. I loved how it looked when I bought it but the more I look at it the more I hate it. I am going to take it off this weekend and see how it looks and if I dont like it then I will put it back. Brian its just some glue and these little push rivet type pins that hold it on, should be pretty easy to get it off. It looks good on yours cthomas!

Just ditch 'em. You'll be happier in the long run, especially if someone will buy them!

Yea, I'd take em off and sell them. You'll be closer to getting wheels that way.

Take them off & sell them. Then you could buy a set of lowering springs. Ground effects dont look right on a camaro. They make the car look to big.

While the 98+ SAP is better looking that the 93-97, I still don't like it. I don't know how it attaches, but if it's screwed to the body, take it off, get the holes filled and painted and then be done with it. If you find a buyer, even better. You can use the money for other stuff.
