ha ha... guys... i love the headlights... and if you dont like the hood or stock ground effects then 
Here is a more accurate pic of the hood... but the poor car just isnt very photogenic. It looks better in person.

Factory LS1's with groundeffects look AWESOME!!!!
I think the Halo's and the stock lights (with Whistler mod) BOTH look great. For me it's a toss up in the daylight. As long as they are black.... f@ck completely stock headlights, THEY look like @SS!!!
Although, I would say if you were comparing them at night Halo's would have to win:
That $hit's mesmerizing!

Underbody neons? Last I remember, mopars used to sport them like crazy back in the muscle car days.. Everything that's considered rice was created back in the 60's and 70's and was the hot thing to do. Now, because the "ricers" took over and started doing that, everyone can't stand it.
Do whatever YOU like, my god look at your car! That sig pic is sick, you obviously don't have some slow car, and yet you're worried about halos being rice?

I personally do not like Halos on the LS1 and HATE the term RICE. It is way over used. Just because someone does not like someone else's choice in appearance mods does not make it "rice".
halos was my favorite appearence mod ive done...i think you'll love them.. and btw i love the hood... were did you order it from????i got stock ground effects on mine too...i like them, but scrape too much down here in kentucky..
ok... old thread, but looks like fun, so im posting.
halos are common on fbodies, i want to see someone make stickies on every fbody forum with the words "IF YOU HAVE HALOS, YOU ARE A RICER" and thats all. see how well that goes over.
the gfx: give me a fu(king break. factory items on an fbody are rice? thats one of the funniest things ive ever heard. STOCK ls1 camaros without the gfx look like sebrings imo. more like sleek cruisers than badass cars. the gfx help to give it more of a badass stance, slightly meaner. yeah, it changes the lines from being sleek to being mean, but it doesnt ruin them. i think that its harder to make a camaro without the gfx look badass than it is with one that has the gfx.
the hood: whatever floats your fu(king boat. i have it (not mounted yet though) and the [local] people who know i have it, and have seen it, LOVE it. everyone and their 90 year old god mother who has a z28 and wants an aftermarket hood goes out and gets an SS hood. theyre gorgeous hoods, but come on! it defeats the purpose if you just go and mimick a higher-trim car. it is slowly decreasing the value of true SS's. i love seeing an SS, everything about them is sexy. but now, people have SS hoods on bicycles. it just gets old.
i think that the warbird hood ruins the lines of a stock ls1 camaro, because it doesnt fit in with the "sleek" lines. however, with the gfx, the lines have already been changed, and the hood adds to the new style.

headlights aren't ricey ,but the hood-headlight combo could give some people that effect, i say get a diff. hood and it'll all be good , but it is (your) car so by all means have it the way you want it. my .02
