birds and cams w/o ground f/x post pics

I think the cams and birds look better without them, they just seem to look like a fat porno star with them. I was wondering if anyone felt the same, and if people would post pics of their non ground f/x cars. Thanx

Nice car man, the only thing that sucked was the cops pulling people over, i heard the people talking about it later on at a gas station, saying he said my cars too low, i have tint, my system is too loud, etc. I got told by a cop i drove down the strip one too many times. Well maybe ill see you their this summer. Anyone else got any pics?

I agree the birds get a whole new look without the ground effects. Some great looking cars posted here.

But with Camaros I definitely prefer them on....especially the 91-92 gfx.

SC82TA, your car looks MEAN. I like the GFX that my GTA came with, but 'birds and 'ams look cool without just the same. if I ever get another 'bird, it'll be one that has no GFX. I dunno - either way can be cool, I suppose. Matter of personal preference. But yeah, Camaros don't look as good w/o, 'specially the Berlinettas. (doesn't help that all the Ber's I see around here are rust-outs and beaterz...)
