Ground Effects; Yay or Nay
I've got a chance to get a Greenwood kit CHEAP, but I'm not sure how I feel about them. So, you decide....Also if anyone can post pics of the Greenwood kit (and better yet, Artic White), that may help

You're probably gonna get about a 50-50 response. Either you like'm or you don't. I've seen some Greenwood kits installed that looked good...and some that looked cheap...so a lot of it is the prep and installation.
Bottom line is if YOU like it...do it.

The way I see it is... Like it was said ablove the C5 looks good with but C4s
don't. It is about modding cars new cars nee something to set themselves
apart.
A C3 with ground effects looks like dog butt, 'cause now they don't
need it, but I remember when that hidious C3 from Corvette Summmer came out the world thought it was the crap. Now it actually doesa look like crap.
Personally I love gound effects, it personalizes your car. I remember the first Greenwood I saw I about feel over.

When you put on a body kit, you might be instantly narrowing the market appeal of your car should you ever decide to sell it. Probably more potential buyer would shy away from a kit'd 'Vette than would be attracted to it, IMHO
As you might have guessed, I cast a 'nay' vote above :yesnod:

I think you'd pull in a lot more non-Vette people when you go to sell it, therefore increasing your market when you go to sell it.

I like them about 10 years ago, before I had a vette and when I still into the 80's 'style'. I think as your car get older more people will look at the greenwood as negative much like i think of the 70's and 60's customs.
