RK Sport makes one of the cleanest looking ground effects kits IMO.

GM will always be more. RKsport is your best bet if you want the rs kit. Or you can be so fresh and so clean clean lol with some 6litereater parts.

front rs kit is ***! sides and rear are ok but the front piece SUCKS!!!! Why I replaced it with a splitter

dont mind the rican up there lol

Just add the 6le front splitter and maybe a freedom spoiler and that would look clean

Welcome to a site where the kit is mostly shunned..... mine came with the factory kit and I added the RK Sport front valence instead of hunting down the front "chin whiskers". I'd search the for sale area and ebay as alot of people are taking off the gfx and selling them.

The best body kit is one that's in the trash.

I agree 100% with this post that is why I opted for it when I purchased my car. It is not popular at all on the site but to each their own. I am so sick of people coming into a thread asking about gfx and bashing them. If you have no good suggestion on what kind to get just don't post. Otherwise suggest a brand or style.

My old camaro had the factory GFX kit, and I liked it. Now I have a Formula (no gfx) and like it too. I do agree it makes the car seem lower than it really is. Here is a picture of a camaro that I think looks really good. It was on ebay a few years ago.



If it was me, I would piece my own kit together, front and sides from the one above, and a cme or dual exit 6LE rear w/ the dual 6LE tips or single cme tip. v





That's just me, other might hate it...

If done right they can look clean looking. Factory gfx are the best looking ones in my opinion. I like these cars with or without the gfx but sometimes they look plain looking without them.

RKsport front lip, RS side skirts, CME rear valance

Best combo if you have a catfish, LT1s dont need any gfx cause they look good as-is

some cars look good with the rs kit but imo every car will look better with out it, you want your camaro to stand out, lower it, ccws or fikse wheels,slp grill, cme and tint, do those things and other camaros will bow down ,just remember less is more
