Not rice, but I would lower my car over the body kit, unless you have Long Tubes like me.

this seems to be a touchy subject among the members here, which is fine.
IMO, i think a body kit, when done tastefully, and nothing like a huge 'wide-mouthed' "BOMB", like the ones you would see on a mx-6 or an eclipse...(yes, i have seen these kits for a camaro....). ANyways, these fourth gen camaro'z are high from factory and need some wheel gap reduction and a little lip to fionish her of. A trans am, they seem to have a nice look to them from factory though the white one posted in the first page is sweet.... you see...tasteful. Also, modern muscle'z red camaro is nice with the wings west kit. I think, for example, the xenon kit might be to much and there is this other kit that looks to bulky..cant remember the vendor...
Anyways, if you like the kit, get it my friend, its your car after all...

yea, Wings West really put a hurtin on a lot of people... on a better note, I may be getting rid of my GFX at some point soon, so someone may get their wish.

lets start a petition to censor the word rice. hahaha
really though, sooner or later if everyone doesnt have the sae cam, intake, and exhaust its going to be rice.
On this site rice = not whats popular among this sight.
when it should = stupid things imports do to make their cars seem more like ours when they're slow as hell.
I'm sure theres a honda sight somewhere that everytime they see a damn cavalier with an SS hood they say "damn thats f-bodyish."
Lol. I agree. I classify ricers as people who do drastic things to their cars....keeping them just as slow and making them look and sound hideous (like those annoying fart cans). I have to admit, sometimes, every so often, there are people who make civics,acuras,etc look decent and formitable competitors.
wouldnt look so ghey if the body kit had all new bumpers, not tack on pieces with 3m tape that come off after winter, i have installed a few body kits like my truck ( www.cardomain.com/id/v8blakdak ) and nothing ever fits right, peices take alot of time to get right and are usually flimsy even after putting on extra brackets. i assume OEM G/E fit nicely but the RS G/E IMO is way too tacky. if u want a higher spoiler, get the SS spoiler. a lowered fbody looks better over one with a bodykit.
I agree, a lowered f-body looks way sicker then a kit, plus you dont have to worry about ripping the bitch of when you go over a speed bump....In colorado, body kits dont last, roads are trashed and d.o.t dont give a fuck here...........

How is the RS kit tacky? It's very basic pieces. You can't get more subtle than the RS kit for GFX.
Lowering the car an inch or two looks nice, but I like it even lower to the ground. Main thing to keep in mind is that the ground effects kits (atleast my WW F-1 OEM replica kit) hangs down as low as the airdam, so if the air dam normally scrapes on something, you'd scrape the gfx on it too.
I love the look of the RS package and was what I was wanting when I set out looking for a camaro a year ago when I bought mine. I also plan to lower it with some BMR springs and also put some Hooker longtubes on it too. I just think the GFX make the car stand out IMO and there are very few around my area that have them. Last year at the Fbody gathering at the corvette museum I was one of the only LS1 cars there with factory ground effects (at least I did'nt see another one) and my car seemed to get alot of attention.

Just trying to figure how you see it as such, most of the RS kits I've seen are on Z's, only one I've seen thus far has been on an RS..... a completely gold one
guh damn! Chill down bro it's not like anyones goin balistic over the topic some people just have their own opinion that specific body kits tend to lean towards rice. Would you rather them say they resemble import automobiles? It's just a word of distinguishing particular cars.
he didnt put anybody down but i will...the man is right...you can only hear the word rice so many times before it starts getting old and frustrating...you guys are all tools! be your own person! get a NEW WORD!! they should make a poser icon for the small minded copy-cats like you!
its not like his car is a million colors and sounds like a fart can...then call it "import" its an american made FBODY just like, if not better, then yours (thats IF you own one or is that daddys car) without the ground fx the car is plain...plain and simple!
I jus picked up a set of 1.8 drop from a non sponser company, paid 180 shipped....car looks 100xs better, easy to install, and still rides good....guna top it off with a stut brace and some other little suspension parts.....pm if your interested in getting a set........
