I would do both too, some people dont like the look of my car but I love it. Everyone seems to love it in person. But to each his own. I dont scrape my ground effects much at all and I have the eibach pro kit. The headers on the other hand....

Default Wwwwwwoooooooowwwwww This is an Old Thread!!!

This is actually one of my first threads when I signed up on LS1Tech.

Well, I took most of your advice and just removed the bodykit and lowered it with BMR Springs.

I'll take the this opportunity to ***** the car as it is now out. You know... for reference.

lower it, lose the body kit, and put some nice rims on it and it will look mean.

The ground effects take away the muscle car look IMO.
