98-02 sport appearance package ground effects on '93 Camaro

Not often you get to see this mashup of parts. The '98-02 ground effects actually look better on the '93! For my fellow "wtf, why is that '93 blue?" nerds, the car was originally black. It isn't one of the fabled '93 Camaros in medium quasar blue that are supposed to exist, but don't exist according to GM records.

Wow, can't believe that guy duct taped them to his PAINT just to see how they'd look. And he didn't even place them properly ewwww.

When he placed the front pieces properly and modified them to fit they look okay. Not great though...

The car would definitely look better without them. For some reason, they don't bother me on the blue car I posted. Maybe the lack of black accents on the blue car is throwing off my judgment.

I've always been really undecided about whether I like ground effects on Camaros or not.

Similar to the '98-'02 RS front, there's the Xenon kit that looks really strange but good on dark cars. It doesn't even attempt to go with the lines of the car, which can be seen as good or bad depending on the angle you're looking at it. Looks weird as hell from directly in front or behind because it sticks out so much on the sides. Looks awful on light colored cars.

The LG Motorsports ZR28 gfx look best to me on the side and rear of the car, but I'm not fond of the front piece. I really like that it isn't very thick like most of the other options.

Wings West has too much bulk to it, though it flows decently with the body. I hate the rear piece.

Factory RS I've never liked the front piece. The rest is fine, though I'm not extremely fond of the spoiler add-on compared to the slightly different one RK Sport sells.

Whatever that one is that's always been so hot on ebay, I think it looks great in the renderings, but man... it looks like something out of Star Wars and doesn't go with the styling of the car at all.

Can't think of any others off the top of my head...

Mmmm here's some more pics.

I believe this is an RKSport kit




DG Motorsports had a very similar kit... it looks better to me than the other... wish I had better pics...



GM performance parts F-1 ground effects... same exact thing as the RS ground effects as far as I know... no real complaints other than I think the vents on the front are unappealing even though functional...



Sniper bodykit isn't my favorite (that's for sure) but this guy used to post here a few years back and I remember he said he worked for HOURS to get it to fit and blend in properly, and it looks alright after that hard work. Honestly, the fit and finish looks GREAT after all those hours. I just don't like the design.




Here's the one that has been sold on ebay so many years. It really unfortunately really bad in real life. The angles are too sharp. It's called Vizage.


There's some more, but they are hard to find and/or weird and not worth mentioning.

The thing I hate about ground effects on the Camaros is that most of them look like afterbirth on the car. Either the design blows or the person putting them on didn't take the time to make sure they are aligned properly and or painted properly.

If you are going to do something do it right the first time...don't try to attach some crappy looking fiberglass or urethane to your car to try and be cool...

BTW- I have a set of GFX for my car, just the RS Package that are just sitting around because I can't get them to fit perfect.

That Xenon kit looks so cool from those angles, I definitely agree. It looks terrible on red, white, silver, and other light colored cars though. Here's some other pics of other angles that are a little less flattering so you can make your decision.

Not sure why it looks so weird on that last pic. I think it's because the car needs to be lowered a lot and the 3 piece spoiler is goofy with this kit.

In person, this view looks really weird because the sides stick out so much.
