Contemplating removing ground effects

[1320B4U]

Just look at every other black 4th gen w/out ground fx's and you'll get the picture.

I always dug the cme on the 4th gens...thats why i made my exhaust exit out the middle of the 3rd gen...however it needs the side ground fx's imo to bring it all together.

Another vote for no GFX. I certainly don't think they look ricerish or anything, but I've never been a fan of the GFX on these cars.

Great idea Steve!

I for one am not a fan of the ground effects, I don't think the flow properly with the car. Less to worry about. I second a CME.

[MyFirstZ]

I had no idea it was going to be this close

Keep em. Just fix em. Looks entirely better imho. Look at my Formula. It has ground effects. I'd never remove them, now that they're there. Once you get em, you gotta keep em.

I dont think the factory gfx would be that bad if the front gfx didnt look like an afterthought just tacked on the front.

The firebird/ta gfx flow much better with the lines of the car then the camaro gfx. The camaro ones almost look like big fangs or something.

I'm not a fan of Camaro GFX in pictures, but in person, they're not as dramatic as photography leads on. They're actually not bad, and MyFirstZ's car is tasteful/"clean" enough that it will still look good overall regardless of which direction he chooses to go.

Keep us in the loop. Sorry for not making this decision any easier!

[sweetbmxrider]

The front kills it for me too.

[MyFirstZ]

I was leaning towards removal myself hence the thread.

But I'm going to remove the passenger side rocker this week to see how bad the holes and paint might be underneath it before it goes in for body work Monday. As long as it really didn't get damaged by that large piece of road debri, I'll probably remove them and put it in the basement for the season and see how I like it. The CME might wait for other reasons.

[SilverDropTop]

Decide if you like the CME or GFX better and go that route. Unfortunately, the stock GFX do not match up with the CME so you cannot have both....ask me how I know.

[MyFirstZ]

Lol well Monday I will talk cost with my buddies body shop and see how much I will have for cme

[Mike]

If they mount the same as ta ones the holes are obvious and big. I can take pics if you want

[MyFirstZ]

yeah please do. The one side will be coming off saturday night regardless because of damage but yeah pictures are appreciated .

[MyFirstZ]

[MyFirstZ]

needs to be lowered more lol

[maroman88]

looks like errrrbody elses camaro without

[MyFirstZ]

well I dropped the car off today at the shop.

completely not thinking............the non gfx rocker that took some damage will be evaluated and added to the quote to be repaired. I actually forgot about that.

So I have to wait until the adjuster comes down and for a call back before I see what else is going to get done.

[grazi]

After looking at post 39. I say keepem fo sho..

[RiggsLW81]

definately keep them on. the car looks quite bland without them... they set off the rest of your tasteful appearance mods. like someone else said, it looks far too average without them on.
