2016 Camaro Ground Effects... Thoughts?

So being able to customize the car is fairly cool for how basic it is and the options we have currently. Overall I am thankful for this, as we can now see all the colors without needing Photoshop.

Now, we saw a glimpse of the ground effects package at CamaroFest, but now seeing it on the car painted the body color over black has me wondering if I like it.



The splitter looks legit and the side trim good as well. But the rear looks big and bulky and slapped on. I am probably the only one who thinks this, but would love to hear what others think

Not bad for a GFX. It's pretty subtle, which I like.

I love the rear. Quite similar to the Z28 rear with the rectangular shape around the exhaust. I was actually hoping Chevy or some aftermarket company would make a Z28 like rear so it pleases me. The front and sides will do the trick, but I expect something cooler is around the corner with a ZL1 model.

It's very subtle for an accessory package, that's what really stands out in the 5th gen!! To each his own I guess

Never really cared for ground effects myself. Just wasn't the look I wanted. Plus the cost was just too exorbitant. This one looks better but I don't think it makes enough of a difference with the look to be worth it. At least for me. Give me MRC instead.

Messing around with all black trim and a 1/2 and 1/2 look.

I do like the side, the rear and front are growing on me.

I'm on the fence, it is subtle, which I ilke... I guess I'll wait to see the cost. 2SS convertible with MRC/NPP will already be maxing out what I'd planned as a monthly payment, but who knows... I'll abscond some of the Wifey's Xmas bonus check maybe!

Love it, especially the rear, might be just enough to cover the exhaust from showing too much, hopefully we have the choice of color

I'm not one for GFX. This one for the 6gen looks pretty nice. I didn't like the 5gen it was just too much and the rear was horrible IMO.

I actually like the GFX for the 6th gen but I won't be getting them. I just want that front splitter lol.

Definitely getting front and side, but not sure about the rear yet. I'll just get the car first, and decide on these options later. (OEM parts on Ebay, or go back to dealer later)

For the price tag, I dont love it. Will be waiting for the aftermarket to get side skirts/splitter.

Not sold on the dove tail spoiler either, I like my current one best, hope to get something similar.

I think the GFX look great! Although if I had my choice I'd just do the front and sides.
