Ground effect grabbed the pavement on decel. By the looks of the bumper, it rolled up like a taco. Alot of the paint flaked off after I took those pics. Would of sucked if i had of run it over.

I love bodykits / ground effects on Camaros, if it has a handful of appearance mods (stripes, different hood, spoiler, etc) the bodykit is like the finishing touch to the masterpiece. With all the mods and no bodykit, it just seems like a work in progress and not finished.

gm muscle, i have never seen a nicer gfx'd ls1. Awesome.

gfx are a matter of preference of course. if you like them, get them. theres nothing "rice" (rediculous term anyway) about them. if you do them right they look good, of course, you can lower an ls1, do the right stuff and it looks just as good.

furthermore, anyone with a TA who calls gfx ugly is a bit hypocritical. a TA body is virtually a firebird with a factory gfx kit.

I like the factory Sport Appearance package but then I'm biased cause I have a car with one. These pics are from last year but they only full length shots I have currently.

i'd buy a ww kit if they were still in business for my t/a. There's always ebay but it's 800 bucks plus 155 shipping, **** that. But i'm sure the people who overpaid for the breathless headlights would jump at the chance, Suckers.

I had the xenon kit on my car and decided to take it off. It looked cool at first and people looked at it and thought wow thats cool. But then you start to look at the car as a whole and its kind of tacky. Plus I only was lowered 3/4 inch in the front and I scraped everywhere. Having an SS hood and spoiler is cool enough. I think from older camaro owner's view point that its kind of a adolescent type of thing to do, just tacking a piece on the car to stand out. im only 21 but i think thats where alot of ppl are coming from. After I tookk the kit off I felt like I was really seeing the car again for it is. (Im getting rid of my ram air hood to get the SS personally)

I will have to agree with Sliver02TA on that. I think that ground effects are mostly for ricers. Sorry if you have ground effects on your car already, but thats my .02.

i've owned 4 camaro's and 3 have had ground effects. i hate huge over the top body kits, but factory and other conservative looking kits i think look great.
