Well, I know I'm gonna be in the minority on this one but does anyone else prefer the look of a Camaro without the ground effects package? I think that they can actually look better than the fancied up models. Anyone, anyone?

 

personally I always have preferred the Camaro WITH the GFX, and the firebird without(I like 91-92 tho), I dunno why...

John

 

Looks much cleaner without if you ask me

 

That is exactly the reason I do not prefer the T/A's over Firebirds, they seem so overdone with the GFX, I don't mind it, don't get me wrong, I do not think they look bad. If there was an equally equiped Formula and a T/A sitting next to each other I would take the Formula, because I like the absence of the GFX..

I guess thats why GM made different models, for different folks...

John

 

I don't want to rip on anybody, but If a camaro doesn't have ground effects it will look like a berlinetta. Sorry but I dont like the way those look.

 

the whole reason my final decision was made when purchasing a 3rdgen, 4thgen's don't have the style and neither do the irocs. not that i don't like either. again, i guess it's all in the eye of the beholder........but i tend to think it looks good.

 

defiantly with them

 

whats wrong with IROCs?

 

yea, what about the IROC's? ? ?

 

IROC'S are a step above Z-28's and came with everything and more than regular Z's.

:hail:IROC-Z :hail:IROC-Z :hail:IROC-Z :hail:IROC-Z !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, GFX are the icing on the cake.

 

I definitely like Camaros better WITH gfx. The Firebird looks good either way .

 

With.... they look hidious without ground fx.

 

Defentaily with gfx. That was one of the main reasons why I dicided to put gfx's on my 85 SC.

 

This is a pic of my car with out ground effect and i think it looks better with out. Iwas thinking about puting 84 ground effects but i like this better what do you think

 

3rd gen camaros look ALOT better w/ gfx.. IMO the 91-92 gfx look better than the 85-90 gfx.. kinda off topic, but the 4th gens look like $hit w/ gfx..

mike (loomdog)

 

82-84 Without
85-up, with.
Firebird 82-83 none had gfx
Firebird 84-90 with
Firebird 91-92 without

 

I wouldn't want one without em. They just look like they're missing something. They look like those cheap camaro ber... things. Yeah their a pain to work around, and add an extra complication to body work, but in the end they really spice things up.

 

A camaro without a body kit is like a **** star having no sex. Its just not right O_o haha...I love the look with the body kit...just cant stand it without one. The camaro is a very logn car...to long atcually...the body kit helps the car look taller and also more dropped. Also wider. By making it look wider and taller the car looks shorter.

 

Even though mine's a hunk of crap.. I like it better w/o...


(click for larger pic)

I think this is mike86's, I was bored & did a quick hack on in. The 91-92 wheels are (IMO) what makes them look good w/o fx

 

Yup, that's my car. I like those wheels on it.

 

Not trying to strike a nerve with someone, but IMO (which probubly means nothing), thirdgens WITHOUT gfx's looks like @$$. They look like a 4x4 or something way in the air.


Just my $0.02 :lala:

 

IMO, all you need is some 91-92 gfx and youd be set, that color is by far the best on a thirdgen, just a thought for ya...

 

Is that gun metal?
:hail:IROC-Z

 

looks like medium grey, which is slightly lighter than gunmetal
(AT LEAST I THINK SO?)

 

I don't care for camaros without GFX. :lala: I dont think there nasty, but gfx makes them look way better.

 

My beater Camaro is Gunmetal Grey straight out of the Duplicolor can ($35 worth). The back bumper is off a grey 84 Berlinetta.

Stuart.. I do think the 91-92 fx are some of the best looking made but, I personally wouldn't want them and, it would take waaay more than gfx for that pile of ___ to 'be set'.

Gfx to me is sort of like black paint... it's nice to look at but, I don't care to own it (my bird used to be black so I know..). I'm starting to wish I had never put the gfx on my 'bird and just went with a 91-92 front... it's little late to change my mind now though

 

Does anybody else think that Camarofreak85s car looks pretty cool with a black sailpanel ala the newer Z28s? I kinda like that.

On the original question: I could care less. A Camaro is a Camaro is a Camaro. They all have potential to look good whether or not they have a particular appearance package or color or driveline in them. If they're taken care of and the owner obviously cares for and has put a lot of work into it, it's a 10 in my book. If someone just has money and has forked out a lot of it to have all the work done or just buys a finished car then shows it as "his own", I don't have an inkling of respect for that.

 

I personally like Camaros and birds with ground effects. Iroc-Zs are the coolest looking car on the road. I'm thinking of putting ground effects on my sc in the future.

 

i like both actually...

i personally think my roomate's (cdartz on here) car looks kickass



but i also dig the gfx as well. My iroc has them and i wouldn't have it any other way

 

Wraith,
I think I really like the top Camaro with no GFX and the 16" wheels. looks really good...

John

 

deadbird,

1.) You need to fix the link to your site, delete the thirdgen part

2.) Once I got to you site, I found that you are Putting Handles on from An Intepid, i wanted to do just that (Either Intipedid or Malibu Handles, cant decide which, only ones Ive seen so far that look good and are flush like I want)

3.) Lovin the Tans Am, your camaro doesn't even compare, no wonder your talking down on it

 

I love the way your SC looks just the way it is.

 

like duh...

 

Please expand upon your definition of "duh" in this instance.

 

It's unique. I think I like it, too. I'm not sure if it would look right in other colors, but that works.

 

hes a better pic of my car i like it the way it is and i like it even better because its one of a kind

 

sorry heres the pic

 

i like both

i had 2 camaro's with no gfx so far and i like them just as much as the ones with, but i am currecntly putting gfx on my car

R.I.P.

 

camarofreak,
I like what you have done by painting the top of the caar black. I have considered doing that to my formula, but just painting around the windshield.

John

 

to this:

what do you think?

 

okfoz, I like the windshield pillars painted black on your car. It looks cooler that way.

 

I'm really surprised that the Camaro without ground effects has gotten as many votes as it has. I like them for two reasons: I think ground effects and stuff usually looks pretty cheesy because it's clear that it's just added on to the body as opposed to being part of the original style; also, the Camaros without groud effects are more practical in the sense that you don't have to worry about scraping the front air dam on everything in your path. I agree that the G.E. package makes the car look a lot "tougher", but I kind of like the clean ones...

 

The non FX cars have much more "style" to them than the Z28's IMO,.......

The ground effects package only looked good in 91-92 when they actually had a function (brake cooling) and were not just dead wieght on the car. (I'm sure you can all feel the aerodynamics of those ground effects - NOT)

my opinion about the camaro FX (best-to-worst) :

1) no Effects

2) 91-92 Z effects

3) 82-84 effects

4) 85-90 effects
