I like ground effects on any car, it balances them out very nicely and make them look sleeker. Body kits are the flamboyant enemies of good looking well balanced style. A car looks amazing when it is lowered with Gfx, but since it is usually not possible to drive it that way you have to decide on which you like better.

I wish we could censor the word rice out of this forum...it's pathetic how much ppl use it when they can't express their oppinions in any halfway articulate way. Say it doesn't flow with the lines of the car or something, not just "RICE" like a f'in moron!

Agreed, I've never had a problem with the word on my site, but if my site were anything like this one with the ignorant conservatives that classify everything that they don't like as rice, I'd ban them for using rice 3 times.

Wings West is actually back in production, they just sold to another company or something. Mine should ship next week. I've been on a waiting list 6 months though. They seem to be getting caught up on production.

Id say it only looks good if you do have it molded so it looks like one peice. It just looks out of place to me, if its not molded.

IMO, the Trans am doesn't need a full body kit. I think that the only thing that needs to be done to really sweeten up the appearance of a trans am and make it even more bad ***, is a Ram Air hood, and The WW front lip. If you look at some cars with only the frontlip, you'll notice that it actually follows the contours of the stock lines on the car. I think it flows a lot better than the full kit. the full kit seems...too..."thick".

Good call,
The "seams" do stand out a bit on that white car in the pic and definately should be molded, on a black or midnight car the seems wouldn't be as noticeable though.
