  • removing a rs body kit question

    there is a guy who wants to trade my car plus cash his way for a 2000 camaro z28, it has a rs body kit on and nothing to you guys with them i just personally dont like them. i was wondering if its possible to take them off without damage to the body or how they are held on, i heard they were riveted but i have no clue.


    whats the word? please inform me


    i just dont wanna pay for a car that i need to alter that is all
    wishing i could drive like joe and the atm squad

    they are held on w/ "rivets" (not really a rivet but similar). They will leave holes all the way around, rear bumper are not noticeable but front, fenders, rockers you can see the holes and you'll need to fill/touch up or repaint.

    look closely at the lower bumper and you can see the clips in this picture:

      Not to mention all the holes from the rear spoiler. There's 3 per quarter plus 4 on the spoiler itself. I don't get why people buy cars with the RS kit if they don't like it then rip it off. Just wait and find a car you like without them.

          That's why I put an RS spoiler on my V6.

            They are held on by little black rusty metal brackets and aluminum rivets all the way around.

            On the front and rear bumpers I used a pair of cutting pliers (dikes) to cut / pull thru the rivets between the bumper and ground effect. It worked fast and easy. Damage was minimal.

            On both rockers of the car you will need a drill + drill bit & disc sander.

            Dikes won't work well on the rockers at all, it will bend up the metal rockers quite easily.

            The rockers will need weld, sand, paint.... since they are metal.

            The bumpers are plastic (duh), so no painting needed, leave em' holey.

            Leave the spoiler lip to.

            That's what I did.

            I still have yet to get the holes in the rockers welded up / painted.

            It will be done before winter storage though.

              Before


              After











              I mean it looked good before,
              But I'm going more for the American muscle look.
              No extra plastic needed.
