Has any added the "Ground Effect Package" to their Camaro? Im wondering if I should or not.

I think the Camaro looks just fine the way it is. I did not order them.

Yea I wonder if its possible to only order the rear piece

GM doesn't make money by letting people order bits and pieces.

Not likely. The Cobalt, and Impala's have GFX packages from GM, and you can only order them in a kit. Annoying to us, but better for the company.

I will order the Ground Effects with my car, but since i am waiting for a convertible, i won't be ordering for at least another year...

So is it worth it to order the Ground Effect Package?

blackZbandit · 02-12-2009, 12:02 PM

I don't think it will look too hot with only the rear piece as the sides flare out and may look akward without the corresponding side ground effects to ballance it out. Now just the chin spoiler is a winner... maybe balanced out by the dovetail spoiler or an after marker '69 inspired spoiler.

If I had unlimited funds I would. But to me they aren't worth the excessive amount of money they are charging for them.

But they make more money off forcing people to buy the entire kit than they lose by having a couple people say "if I can't have this piece I don't want it".

That isn't a comparable example. McDonalds is setup so that items are all made individually in a flexible environment. On an assembly line, however, it would be not be cost effective to let people choose exactly how they want their car built...unlike a value meal.

If you buy an SS, you don't get to have it your way. You're getting a 1SS or 2SS...if you want ABL you have to get a 2SS. If you want leather seats you have to get a 2SS. It's easier for the line workers, the automated process, and it forces people to pay more because, more people will choose to go up rather than down.

I would think about it, if they had the body matching color. My Grand Prix had a "body kit" that I loved, and wasn't rice. The two tone look doesn't do it for me...

Just order the one piece you want from the body shop.

BryGo · 02-12-2009, 12:57 PM

I ordered it, and I love it.

But seriously though, there will be DOZENS if not hundreds of aftermarket fascias within 2 or so years. There are a load of them already for the HHR and Mustang just for a case in point.
