Default V6 Owner...
Been here for a month or so, mainly been buying parts.

I have a 1996 Camaro RS (L36) with the 3800GT package. I'm finishing up my appearance modifications and will be customizing my interior.

Figured there's tons of members on this board and I have the same exterior/interior so I can get some good info of here...

I'll get some pics of my ride this weekend, basically Black, GFX, RS Spoiler, GTS and VHT Blackouts, and Black Z06's...

No prob dude! I had an Eibach Pro Kit on mine, and the front spoiler was only 5¼-5½" off the ground, as were the exhaust tips since I had a Borla rear section. Most people leave the spoiler off forever after they completely KO it. Those cars HAVE to have the spoiler to look right, with the rest of the kit!

Yep...actually about to buy a RK Sport front piece...I wanted to see if anyone has put the 98+ 2-Piece kit on a 93-97 car but couldn't find any images...

RK sport should look good, so it will look complete again!!!

The 2-piece kit would be better for clearance issues, but the 1-piece looks a WHOLE lot better!
