try and find somebody that doesn't want the kit on their car your gonna get a lot of crap about it though. everybody here tends to HATE that kit. I'd suggest getting a RKsport kit or like i said get the side and rear skirt from somebody here and get JUST the front lip from RKSport. I HATE the stock front peices on the factory kit

not sure how they mount but you can get the stock side skirts and rear and then get JUST the lip from RKSport. I LOVE their front lip

I was talking to the guy at the body shop last week. Just for ***** and grins we looked up the price on the front driver side piece(mine was all scratched up), just that little POS plastic part was around $500.00. I was glad mine was repairable. Id try to find the stuff your looking for off a totaled car.

I bought the rksport kit for another camaro and it came with a bunch of hardware, not just tape, but if you want oem look in junkyards.

I used to hate mine, but it grew on me since a lot of people don't have it.

I would have taken it off though, but the mounting brackets are rivited onto the car.. So you're left with a lot of holes..

Your best bet is to just look for people that show interest in removing their kit and start PMing them.

I had the hardest time finding the driver side front valance. The dealer quoted me $622.00 for that one piece alone. I got lucky and found it much cheaper elsewhere.

Best bet is to watch the for sale section and people that don't like it on their's, I have it on mine it came from the factory that way it's the Y3F or Y37 RPO code I think, I replaced the front lip with the RkSport one and like it, you'll probably want to get the spoiler on the back too, a lot of people don't like it on here though they say --->
