One problem...You will be left with 2 holes in your quarter panel. The RS spoiler has 2 extensions that are bolted to the quarters! You can remove the ground effects pretty easily though. And this kit was not only an option on the V6 models. My Z came with it as well. it was a 1348.00 option from the factory called "Sport Appearance Package".

I know it's preference but I wouldn't have a Camaro any other way than with that kit..they look very plain without it to me.

The side skirts on the ground effects leave holes as well. If you want to sell you spoiler, keep me in mind.

It's not hard to remove but as stated you will be able to tell it used to have the kit.

FYI: jrp's car came with the RS style sport ground effects. He of course removed them. Might want to get his input on removal.

If you do take it off, would you be interested in selling it? I'd be very interested if it can be re-installed and look right. PM me a price and stuff. I'd also take the spoiler too. Thanks.

Yah you will have a ton of holes all along the bottom of the car from the rivets that hold it on. I took mine off but left the spoiler since it is bolted through the z28 spoiler. The holes dont stand out but you know they are there.

Just my opinion, but whenever I see one I always think "look at that v6 camaro)
