Is the front just a "lip" or the whole bumper cover? That's the mistake i made with mine, i thought it was just going to be the lip but it turned out to be the whole cover. I need to make up my mind because sunset orange metallic paint isn't very cheap

I honestly like the xenon better. But if you are looking for a change, that would not be bad either

The RKSport piece is just a lip, not a half-bumper like the Xenon piece.

That's good. Another problem i have though is i don't want to drill any holes on the body, my side skirts and rear lip were screwed on, holes filled with bondo, sanded down and painted. I wonder if some really good 3m double sided tape would hold up?

I used 3m tape on my 94 z28 I used to have and the gfx stayed a while but started coming off after about a year

That's what i was afraid of, maybe i'll try some plastic friendly adhesive along with some good 3m tape. I really like that RK sport kit, looks really similar to the RS ground effects which is what i wanted to begin with

I'd say remove 'em if its not going to have a ton of wholes along the bottom.

But it's your car, do what you like best. You're the one who's going to look at them every day.

I removed the side skirts and rear lip, unfortunately the front isn't a lip and it's the whole bumper so i need to order an oem bumper & paint it. The holes from the previous kit are very small and unnoticeable but they will be filled regardless if i get a new kit or not. As of now i'm really enjoying the stock look, probably because i haven't seen it stock in so long

I would think it'd look kind of funny with that big, chunky front end and a lack of side and rear ground effects.

I thought it would look horrible when i started to take everything out but it really doesn't look that bad, i'm ordering a new bumper next week.

I agree, but i wouldn't mind some very clean and simple ground effects. My first priority is dropping the car once it's back to fully stock (appearance wise) then i'll decide if i want to add some simpler ground effects.

It looks a little off, it's not horrible though. It's only for a short time anyway
