Keep the kit and get a RKsport front lip. I will most likely be the only one to say keep the GFX but i'm partial.

Not seeing your car in advance, I'd suggest keeping the kit installed.

i say get the SS spoiler, keep the kit and get a different front ground effect. i say this because it'll look different, don't see many 3''ss hoods with ground effects, it'll make it stand out more

I agree 100% with this guy. VFN 3" SS hood will be my next choice I believe if I ever get another Fbody.

A. Leave it all on, get the hood and lower it and it'll be a BAMF

B. Take off the SAP, get an SS spoiler, and still lower it.

It'll be a bad *** car either way, but it's YOUR car, so choose what you will!
