Thumbs up Can anyone do this?

Hey i'm thinking about getting GFX for my car and was wondering how they would look. The ground effects will be black of course but i have a pic of my buddies car with the same GFX that i'm thinking about getting...I have included both pics of his car w/ GFX and mine w/o GFX...THX!

Wrong thread, post this in the Photoshop Requests thread and you'll probably get better replies.

I never really liked those ground effects.

Wait up, let me get my feelings out...

Ok, I feel better now.

Dude, please listen to me. As soon as I clicked the link and saw that first camaro, I thought it was your ride.. I literally thought to myself; "wow, that is hideous....But i don't want to make this guy feel bad about his nasty, ruined car. So, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything." And then i was gonna go back to the the other boards, shaking my head in disgust... But I soon wised up ( I though that gfx meant "graphics" or something that you would further deface your car with...sorry, I'm not too keen on appearance lingo...) and realized that your car was the beautiful black beast underneath the first pic. You gotta realize that you already have a mean looking sports car. Ricers put kits on their cars to make them look "better" or more sporty because usually, in stock form their cars look like ****. You already have a badass ride. The thing about f-bodies/camaros is they look good stock and altering them like that just makes them look bad IMO. I (obviously) am partial to Trans-Am's but when I see a muscular ls1 camaro, with some big meats and an agressive stance, I'll cream my pants just the same. (That sounds pretty damn gay if you don't realize I'm talking about cars...hah) Well, anyways, I'll climb down from my soap box now... Please don't do it. please... Well, it is your car and if it will make you happy, go for it. If you think this "GFX" will make you feel like you are a driving some psuedo-exotic f-body...go ahead.

The only body kit i would put on a camaro is.... a lot of naked women! j/k it would be the Vizage body kit. But IMO (and it looks like others) i'd leave it be and put the money towards performance, your Camaro looks like a beast as is. Besides, who needs extra weight? Unless of course that weight is....naked women!!! ok i'm done.

Good idea, my vote is for the OEM style SS spoiler, not too ricey, very muscular...

I have to say that I agree with slammed-am 100%! I think your car looks MUCH better than it would if you put that ugly kit on it. Keep this in mind. You will always be looked upon as a ricer if you do that to your car.

Do you not like the SS spoiler? I think that is the best looking spoiler that was put on these cars. You could probably buy one already painted and just bolt it on. I .02 on the matter is that in most cases the factory does a pretty good job of making cars look clean and clutter free. The F-boby is no exception.
