Thanks for the comments and for the guys that complain about ground effects and front lips and other related stuff like this, every year production Camaro had something on them. American cars had ground effects and spoilers way before any Ricer cars did. Ghetto, I don't think I've ever seen a 97 SS like mine in any ghettooo, by the way I do see alot of Ghetto rides with chrome rims on them and rusted all to ****. I should take some pics of some rides around here for ya if you want to see ghettooo. I can always pull the things off if I don't like them later and don't plan on selling her anytime soon. By the way it's a Wings West kit for those that asked.

+1. Get rid of those damn ground effects. Car looks beautiful without them. I personally wouldn't EVER do that to mine.

Looks good.

Seems everyone that is anti-ground effects in here has forgotten about the RS for the LT1 years, or the fact that a bunch of 4th gen LS1 cars had factory gfx. Only difference I see with the wings west kit vs the stocker is that the wings west kit might survive a curb or two, unlike the RS piece which always gets demolished. Probably the angle of the shot it making it look bigger than it is.

No sir, nobody has forgotten that some of the cars came with ground effects as an option. Just because GM did it doesn't make it right..

Hey, you have my approval Stacy Gotta race ya one last time before you tranfer dammit.

I think they look fine even unpainted yet, some one was saying it's adding weight but they don't weight a thing. #502 is a nice ride in my opinion.

I am so anti aftermarket ground effects, but those look pretty decent. I'd keep em if I were you. Very unique. And I like the black on white. Only thing I'd change is do the roof and sail panels black too.

I was thinking of lowering her but she rides pretty rough as it is. I've had plenty of lowered cars that just beat the **** out of me even if they were done the right way. Air bags would be nice but pretty pricey and the car handles really well with the way SLP set it up.
