92camaro rs ground effects.. Ugly??

Ive been looking at my ground effects lately and cant decide if I like them or not. Im comparring them to the late 80s rs camaro. Just wantin some of your guys opinions on this. U like the flat clean look or the holes in the ground effects on the early 90s?

I've always liked the 91/92 style GFX, I think they look way better than the flat style.

'91-'92 is the best for actual airflow. But I like the look of an '85-'87 base model, if it has to be a 'maro at all, rather than a 'bird.

i liek the 85-90 best honestly, flares out more then the 82-84 but i think the 91/92 are a bit much with the speed holes,

I like the 91-92 RS the best. But If I were going to add ground effects to another third gen I would go with the older version. The 91-92 RS ground effects are harder to find or at least they were a couple of years ago.

85-90 should be the easier to find because they wer made for the most years, but after 88? i think all camaros got the same body kits, i think they stoped doing the base models i think u could only buy an RS,z28, or an IROC after 87
