Normally do not like the RS ground effects, but your combo pulls it off nicely!!

Sounds good... How come you didn't chose to do 285/40 all around?

When I get my C6 wheels from OE.. I am debating on my 9.5s either to do 275/40 or 285/40 all around...

Wow I really like those... more than I thought I would. Just when I was thinking I wouldn't put different wheels on my Z... grr!

I gotta go with the popular opinion though and say I really don't care for the RS kit. It's your car though, and if it makes you happy stick with it.

Looks really good, tint those windows and paint behind the grille or get some vinyl. So the grille stands out more.

They look good on your car. I say keep the factory RS kit. Makes it somewhat different than every other camaro.

Wow I like how many people like it! Yes the whistler mod is coming sometime soon same with the tinted windows. I am still undecided about painting behind the grill buy a vinyl would be perfect hmmm. I will not get rid of the gfx I just like how it looks!

Yes I will agree with you on that. If it did not leave holes when you took it off then i would gladly take it off but I do not want to have to fill them in then repaint the quarter panels.
