I agree. I prefer the smooth lines of the Camaro, although the sport package on 98-02 Z's looks pretty nice. I've always liked the Camaro Bodylines, Body Kits are too improve funny looking cars like Civic's and other ricers not for Camaros.

Dont you guys know a body kits gain you at least .5 in the quarter because they are so aerodynamic. Not to mention chicks will be all over you if your front bumper is dragging on the ground.

Well, an actual body kit, I agree, would be awful. But I do like several of the skirt kits. I put the factory skirts on mine.

i think lt1 camaros look better with certian bodykits becuase it makes them look fuller, u just gotta make sure you get one that doesnt stand out too much. As for LS1's, i wouldnt even dream about putting a body kit on those babyz, they don't need it.

Body Kits are

The only "body kit" or body modifications I would do to a camaro would be a custom front end with a small lip on it and wider front fenders so I could fit some 315s up there. A neighbor of mine did it and it looks bad ***. He did everything right down to fiberglassing it. Kinda killed his sleeper look though.

Do what you like, it's your car and your money. People on the internet can be such tards. This very same board thinks carbon fiber valve covers are cool yet body kits are rice. To each thier own and happy modding.

IE the ones with normal english problems. Comparing valve covers to body kits is apples to oranges.

I do agree to each their own and happy modding however.

Is this a English forum or car forum? Everyone here makes typos, it happens. The thread starter isnt the first the only or the last to not use the spell check. I'm sure there are like 3+ other post including mine and yours that may have a typo here and there. Imagine what everythread would be like if we got hit on it everytime.
