Default Best Fbody Body Effects

I love to see custom body work or body kits, especially on Fbodies.

Post pics of your favorite modded bodied Fbod.

I like the Mecham look, but i think it needs a lower nose piece.

Agreed. It makes the car look that much bigger.

mikerulzu, I'm a bit confused. You are against fbodies with "body effects", yet you have a body kit on yours? Just wondering what's up.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of body kits of any sort unless they are for a reason. i.e. the dick harrell front end is wider to fit bigger wheels and tires.

With body kits, i think it depends... they can be done right, but usually aren't. Wheels also make a big difference and need to be matched with the right kit.

A nicely lowered car can look just as nice if not better.

You didnt read what he was quoting and commenting on. He doesnt like tonneau covers as pictured on the trans am concept.

IMO body kits belong on rice. Except for that berger, I don't think that justifies as a kit pers se. They go through extensive work to widen the body.

I like the Mecham look on the trans am in the 1st picture, but for some strange reason the spoiler makes it look outdated. Or maybe its just the picture

I like the Wings West kit best if its molded to the body (not the spoiler part though). But a lowered F-bod looks better and costs much less $ $ $

I like the Wings West front bumper lip for the TAs. The rest looks like crap!

I dont like ground affects on any car, I have seen a few that dont look bad but with the RKsport front piece but still look best without anything. I think the Mecham TA is the best looking F body, the 30th TA would have to be my second choice.

Here is mine..
