I want to know what you guys think, I have had my wings west kit for the longest time and love the way it looks, but I have to replace the front Ground effect again due to some idiot throwing road debris on me when he passed me. Some people have told me that it looks good with and also without so I thought I would just see what you guys thought

Here it is with it


and now without it


SO what do you think With or Without

Jeez I really can't decide. I don't like ground effects on LS1 style front bumper but it doesn't look too bad on the v6/formy style....*looking again*....ummm it's pretty hard by looking at these two pictures but i'd say just because not many people have it that you should go ahead and put it back on. BTW is that a formy or v6?

the picture of your car without the kit, does not do it any justice....the pic with the kit on is a much better pic than the other one, and that might influence people's thoughts on it....IMO

I voted without it cause I like the modest look of the formulas. But it looks good either way.

Going from my thoughts on my car with having had the front ground effect piece off for about 6 months. I've since re did the piece and put it back on. You're better off with the piece on, IMO. Yes Formula's look very clean without the ground effect piece, but the front looks kind of funny compared to the rest of the car IMO. People told me it looked fine though without.
