Default We need an intervention....

I am probably one of the most anti ground effect people around BUT lately, I keep looking at these stupid kits. I'm not sure why, I've always hated them but I keep checking them out.

Excluding the wing, I even checked this out.

Won't you stop the madness and slap me??? What is my problem. We put tons of bodykits on these kids cars a year and I shake my head each and every time... now I can't stop looking.... someone stoooop me.

YUCK... I'll definitely get to keep the boner award now...
Mark

Tha wing would make it next to impossible to pump gas without draping the hose on the rear deck....

As for the ground effects, I have seen one or two that weren't bad, but not that one.

Just my opinion but I have never seen a Vette with body mods of any kind that I cared for.

Hey Mark, If you're keeping score, it's a shutout. Your Vette is awesome the way it is. The prowler is about the most radical body part I'd allow you to install, cause ......................................I have one. :yesnod:

Slowly release the mouse, and step back from your computer. Friends don't let friends glue that garbage to a vette. :U

Of course that is In My Humble Opinion. You do what you want to do, it's your car & money. We are all allowed to waste it how ever we choose.

Why stop with that kit, if you really apply yourself you could end up like this one.
