What's up guy's ? I have a 2000 Z/28 that came with a RS body kit stock from the factory ! I have been tossing it around on weither or not i should take it off or not. I like it but i also like the camaro look without the kit on it. Should i take it off ? I will be adding a SS hood and the CME exhaust with valance so keep that in mind.Also how many of you guys have taken you're off ? isnt there a ton of little holes that will be visible ?
Thanks for the info in advance!

HELL NO! Everyone on here always tell new peps to lower the car, well the body kit helps the with the lowered look and not everyone has the kit.

P.S. The holes where the kit is put into place look way worse!

yeah thats what i was thinking not everyone has the body kit and i do not plan on lowering it because of the long tubes.
thanks guys

How hard was it to install long tubes on your car? Thinking of doing my exhaust next with headers and everything painted black.

u can be lowered and run long tubes easily

It isnt too hard to install them. I would have to say from what i have heard from most people it is hadrer to get the stock stuff off rather then put then long tubes on.
justaniiiuzion i figure you can run lowering springs with lt's but i dont want to scrape and have a crappy ride.

Take that ugly **** off IMHO....

Sure it makes your car look lower, but you still have huge gaps in you wheel wells.

I think you should remove it immediately and then ship it to me to get rid of it for you

Seriously, I'd keep it on. The holes aren't that much of a pain to cover if you remove it, just a little body work. It does make the car stand out a little from all the rest.

If you do decide to remove it, let me know. I just broke the side valance on my Z28

i kept mine on and added a SS hood and Spoiler and everyone i know loves it..the only thing i dont like about the kit is the front piece so i still might change that

I think the kit looks nice on. Keep it if you like it.

If you go to remove it, you may find holes that need filling on the underside of the rockers (they're are on TA's not sure about camaros) AND/OR uneven paint "wear" or fading that would have to be addressed.

keep it on but i would change the front piece though.

Yeah, change the front piece, you'll be changing the back with the CME so that's not an issue. Our cars just look better with the extra wrap around the bottom of the car, of course that's just my opinion though, I prefer a more customized/unique look for a car, not a fresh-off-the-lot look.

If you remove it your car will be riddled with holes.

personally, I hate it. I'd take it off and I doubt the holes will be very noticeable. If they are it'll prolly be very easy and cheap to do a decent job of hiding them, but I'm sure people will see them if they look closely.

you dont only lower your car so the body is low to the ground you also do it so the wheels dont have such a big gap.I think the rs ruins it a couple threads down there is a red one with a the kit and it just ruins the ss hood a the spoiler. lose it lose it lose it
