Default Suggestions?

I've got a red '99 Camaro SS. Now, for months my brother has been convincing me to put some sort of body kit on it, and I've been refusing to even think about it, because I think most of the ones out there are tacky and completely butcher the car's appearance. I only want something that brings the front and rear fascia a little lower without trying to look over the top, along with some side skirts. I found some pics of a car being sold online that had a Wings West kit on it just last week, and I think this may be the one that suits my taste.

Here's a link to the pics

What are your guys' opinions on this, I know most Camaros on this site dont have any kinds of aftermarket ground effects on them, so I wanna know where I stand in this. Also, if anyone has any other suggestions on kits that might look good I'd love to hear it. Thanks plenty

Lowering the car looks great, but by itself wouldn't have given me exactly what I was looking for, although I will put on some Eibachs once I get the body kit. Goodbye ground clearance!

I don't like body kits . . . Look like tacky skirts installed onto a sleek car . . .

You can get the CME for the rear and then maybe pick up the RS body kit for the sides and front...
