It looks much better without the kit. :thumbs: It's like a fat chick shedding about a 100 lbs. she looks a whole lot better.

I liked the way you had it before with the Greenwood Kit. If I wanted a kit I would buy a Vette that already had one instead of putting one on a Vette that doesnt. Either way they look good. However If you are going to get rid of the kit then ditch the wing. It doesn't looked balanced out now without the rest of the kit.

It's a 'before and after' gone good.

Now sell those plastic windbreakers. :thumbs:

I kinda liked the before better. Don't get me wrong I'm no huge fan or ground effects and the like on any vehicle. I just think that the Greenwood kit is one of the better looking ones out there.

I think for it to really look right you'd need to take off the spoiler too. Just like the ground effects wouldn't look right without the spoiler, the spoiler doesn't look right without the ground effects. Of course it's your car and it's your call, I just think it should be all or none. It looks "normal" with or without the kit, it just looks funny with only part of the kit.

Ultimately who cares what I think though? Are YOU happy with it?

Looks 90% better :cheers: No offense, but IMHO you'll get that last 10% by ridding yourself of the completely unnecessary spoiler as well :)

p.s. Been there, bought one, done that, gone now and would never, ever, ever do it again in a million years :(

Most people know (as I have posted before) I like a vette untouched. It looks great without! Leave it off and remove the wing too!

Under hood mods are great (we all love that extra HP) and I am all for window tinting since it is soooooo hot where I live that tinting is the only way to keep your interior alive, but changes to the body of a vette are just not needed. It is a beautiful classic stylish and super :cool: car without all the extra glass and wing, etc.

It's like taking an absolutely beautiful knockout woman, in shape, and looks and brains, and putting braces on her teeth and giving her a pierced eyebrow!

You know what they say, "If it aint broke, don't fix it!" :smash: :smash:
