Leave it on.

Get rid of the hood and grille. Take off the "camaro" decal from the front piece as well as the SLP emblems, nice looking ride.

The body kit has to go. Body kits on camaros should be illegal.

Leave the kit and the hood on there. They make the car unique. If that's how you like it, then that's just how it should be. And personally, I like the way they look...nice paint too.

It doesn't look nearly as bad as people are making it out to be.

I can't believe how rude some people are being. He asked if he should keep the body kit and people are going off on his entire car and they aren't just saying they like or dislike it. They are just plain rude about it.

Your car is in the midst of an identity crisis. With that said, keep the bodykit, but ditch that spoiler add-on

Have you seen the car in question? Forget the fact that it's a Camaro. It has a body kit, big spoiler, and a hood modelled after a different type of car. At least it's all painted the same color.

I have to honestly say, I cannot understand why people like ground effects or ram-air hoods on a camaro. But, do whatever you like, not what other people say.
