Camaro body kit - Ricey?

[coloradoformula]

Hey guys, my friend with a Z is considering getting this body kit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36475
I do not think it is ricey. What is your opinion?

There are several pictures. Some are terrible, some are OK.

to ricey for my standards.
To many holes and hard edges. I am more of a smooth and clean person. Plus, its going on a very smooth car, and it just doesn't look very good IMHO.

The plain black one really isnt that bad......but any graphics on the side - and its a deffinate ricer.

I like the all black one. I would just do the body kit and some nice crome exhuast tips anything more and it would not look only ricer, but tacky and cluttered.

I like the kit. Looks pretty good, but definitely NO graphics and just one Smooth color. The White and Black look good. You have got to keep an F-body smooth looking like everybody else said. I really liked the rear of the car. Looked very clean. When I get me another F-body, I will look into this kit.

What he said. I don't think it looks too ricey at all, but again, no graphics on the sides. I have actually been looking at this kit for some time now, but I want to get the guts beefed up before I go for cosmetics. On another note, I would look for a cheaper place to get this kit. If I recall correctly, I found this kit for under $600. If I find it again I'll be sure and post a link.

Sorry, don't like it at all.... Personally I think body kits are for imports. F-bodies look good stock, with the exception of the stock hoods. That's my opinion and I am stickin to it.

I like the look of the all back one or even the red w/ white stripes (minus the fin). But i think the money could be put to better use, even if he got it for $600 shipped... your still having to get it painted, installed, etc. So atleast $700 for dead weight... i guess he could take the spare tire & jack out to compensate.

-Just think $700 could be put to better use... But it doesnt look ricey (w/out the vinyl).

the only body kit i agree with is the RS. In my opinion fbodies arent meant to have them. I am one of the guys where its how the car runs, not how it sits there. I think if he wants a body kit, he should sell the z, get a honda, get a body for that and have some left over money

I totally agree. The only body kit I like is the factory RS one. And I still dont think that I would do it. This one posted here is one of the nicer ones I've seen but to me an f-body just needs to be lowered with some nice rims and it is perfect. I think the only body kit I would put on is if I got the centre exhaust and put the body extensions in the back. But thats just me.
