Ok...The ricer comments are getting seriously old...To each his own I personally don't like it but I have thought about it in the past. But we need to get away from labeling everything as ricer.

I kinda like the formula one, I would never do it if I had a camaro, but I dont think its ugly or ricey. But the Trans Am one does look really bad, it looks like a body kit on the camaro

Smooth the colors out. But anyways, I think it would be cool and different, as long as it doesnt look hacked.

I'd have to see something like that in person from all kinds of different angles to get a fair judgement on it. Maybe an SS spoiler and painting the rear valence black would help it look better? off topic but I would love to see a Corvette style rearend on an F-body!!!
