Sorry I just made an offer higher than the asking price. jk If you don't like the body kit buy one that doesn't have it, very simple solution!

Either way, I hope it goes well for you.

I know this much money is a large purchase to most people, including me.

Save your money and leave the bodykit on, It looks great. Spend that extra cash you have on some nice rims and get the mirrors painted body color. Just my 2 cents though.

I look cars over real well before I buy em'.

This one would be no exception, specially the way it looks.

It just looks like they are hiding something.

That's more than I payed for my 01 Z. I wouldn't do it. Especially since you DON'T want all the body extensions and whatnot. I'd rather have an LT1 in nice condition, for still less, than buy this one. Just my 2 cents.

j/k.. nice looking car for a good price man..
Yea, those used car people do that all the time. Some of those people dont know **** about cars. If its got a supercharger, theyll say its got a turbo, lol. Obviously a 6 speed though. Looks like a nice car. Headlight assemblies are cheap for these, get a set of halos for $50

Although I dont agree with you on the whole rather have an LT1, I do agree about the body kit. I almost bought an SS with the body kit. I thought about all the holes that would be left if (when) I removed it, & actually the black, ugly powdercoated C5 wheels was the absolute deal breaker. I had to have an SS so bought a different one without a body kit & the chrome ZR1s.

Haha well basically my point was. For that price you could by an LT1 Camaro and mod the hell out of it. There's a guy who has 96 Firebird with 1200 miles down the street from me. It's sick and has always, ALWAYS been in a garage. My dad asked how much he wanted he said $9k. I'd rather pay the extra thousand for that than this car.
