Buying a Camaro tomorrow!

Buying a Camaro tomorrow!
Hi guys im buying this tomorrow and I have some questions: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...00&cardist=406
1. As you can see it is the version that has the body kit on it and the little thing(idk what its called) on top of the spoiler, I'd like to remove the body kit and the thing on top of the spoiler and make it into a regular Z28 look 1st then trasform it into a SS eventually when i do have the money. But my question is do i have to buy Stock bumpers if i want to remove the body kit? b/c they've been drilled into, im guessing, and obvioulsy there probably not the same color :/ and can i just remove that thing on top of my spoiler or is that like the same situation?
2. How expensive do the regular stock bumpers run? and is it something that you can do your self?
3. Out of SLP/Magnaflow/Borla which one is the best value for the money? i'll eventually buy a exhaust system for it when Im alittle less broke, lol
And I'd greatly appretiate it if some of you guys post some of your camaro's that has the same kind of body kit, b/c i want to see what some of you guys have done to your f-bodys Thank You

If you remove the kit, you will see mounting holes. since its silver, they will be noticable too. You can replace the bumpers yourself if you wanted though, its easy. I think magnaflow is the best bang for the buck. Maryland Speed has it for $386

From the looks of it, looks kind of molested. The body kit is normal. . . But that donkey dick spoiler will put up a fight.
What ever you remove/replace will need to be painted and will cost $.

i looked up some vehicles using the companies zip

thats a steal, ran a carfax and to be honest i'd get a loan or something. everything checks out on this one.
if you haven't already bought the vehicle please consider more vehicles other than that one. I'm sure you could find one that was way better for alittle more. If 10k is to high sorry.

Thats not that low buddy lol. I picked up my trans am last year for a low 7, don't forget trans ams usually run a little higher then camaros also. My car wasn't kept out in the sun and didn't look beat like this one does, usually you could tell how good the car was taken care of by looking at the body and I mean common... the dealership doesn't even know its a 6speed??? There selling a car and don't even know how many gears are in it. I was curious why there are no engine bay pics by the way.. But overall I think itd try to bring it down a grand, im not sure how that looks to you guys but idk I find it a little shady

Screw that LT. . . . Looks nice though.
If I was buying that car, I would not pay over 7k. Just beacuse it looks molested and ape raped.
My car was 99% stock and in better shape for less.

The car is said to be in a perfect condition according to the dealer and it is a 6speed, and i got the under the hood pictures emailed to me too, He actually just changed the plastic headlights to some after market lights and also the passenger sides window motor was being slow(whats new), and changed it, so far im impressed by the dealer they've been very informative and there also picking me and my brother up tomorrow morning at the airport. So hopefully everything will work out and I have a new car tomorrow, which im sure i will
Anyone know how much stock bumpers cost? but i'll probably have to hold that off b/c i'd have to get it repainted to and i dont have the money for that yet
And no i cant afford a $10k car i will be left with $100 in my account after i buy the car and regester it and tax and all that ****

I actually like the body kit... except the front, but that's besides the point. For the price, if everything checks out and there aren't any major issues, I think it's a great deal, and that's only the asking price too. You can probably end up with even a better deal after jewing them down a couple of hundred, or a grand or so. Mileage is pretty good considering age... Car seems to have been improperly jacked on both sides though, you can tell where the door panel (right word?) on the front meeting the side skirts on the bottom are a bit caved in... my car has that too on one side. Other than that, and the headlights, it doesn't seem too shabby.

thats a nice car for a great price. Im not opposed or unopposed to the body kit, i think itll look great either way. i dont think its worth the $$ do get new bumpers and have them sprayed just to get rid of the body kit. Its not even a body kit...its ground effects; big difference IMO

My car came with the Borla, I hated it, way to raspy and just didn't sound good IMO. I found a used corsa for really really cheap, took my borla off and sold it, I actually made some money after off the deal, thats how cheap I found it
