Negatory. The SS wasnt meant to have that V6 crap on there or it would have came with it.

Keep your 35th clean.

"v6 crap"... lol. just so you know, they put them on your heavenly v8's also (O NOES!)

the "rs" kit (even though they didnt make RS's since like 96 or something) is nice because it gives you a lower look, without actually making the car lower. i like the stance it gives. it would probably also even out the CME.

but know that it will alter the look of your 35th... so if you want to keep it stock looking, i wouldnt mess with it.

I think the RS attachment was pretty harsh, lot of holes
in the sheet metal?

yeah stay away from them. i never liked the RS kits much but don't think it would look right on your SS. leave it alone and stick with no GFX. The SS hood and CME is a good combo

KEEP YOUR 35th LE LOOKING LIKE A 35th LE!!!

(Nothing against the RS kit, but it definitely wasn't meant for the 35th LE.)

For what it's worth, on my sport appearance package pewter Z28 I had years ago, I always wanted to add the SS hood to it, as I thought it would make a killer combo.

Having an SS hood on a Z-28 with the RS package wouldn't be a bad idea, but putting the RS pkg on a 35th LE is a definite no.
