body kits are just dumb extra weight for nothing and especially on dropped fbodies.. I have no idea how you guys drive those things without draggin the front bumper. I like stuff that replaces our side skerts.

The Wings West bodykit is really light and the front air-dam creates some really good downforce on the car at higher speeds. The only problem I had with the kit is if you don't run the bigger radiator air deflector under the nose it will overheat. That problem was easily resolved by putting manual fan switches. I've taking off my body kit because they put these huge speed bumps in my neighborhood that are just as tall as the sidewalks and 6 feet wide.

The only ones that look good are the ones on the camaro. Just the fronts that are molded together and painted to match. Lower the car and call it a day. Can't believe this thread is still going after 5 years lol!!!!

Always get compliments on my setup. Never any ricer comments/snickers.

Have the stock air deflector on, and never have had any issues of overheating. Except a tad on really hot days...but then programmed the fans to turn on earlier, and wallah! No more getting hot!
