Default Gotta find out who makes this kit...nice!

http://community.webshots.com/photo/...51910583YFaNgP Found this on webshots. Anybody on here??? The webshot's name is "banditcarta".

The white one of course. It is supposedly the '03 prototype. Yeah, yeah I know. Just telling you for identification purposes.

I'm not sure about the rear wheel flare and the side vent(retro) but the front end and the shaker hood look sweet IMO. Used to have a link to a blue LT1 TA with the shaker. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Notice too the G2 style wing on the back. Never thought of that on a TA.

The main thing is that front end with the air ducts. That would make for some nice forced air induction. Maybe forced possum induction where I live but it looks good. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Maybe one of you Texas guys??? LS1 with a Formula rear. Can't tell what kind of intake's on here. Hmmm, says built by GM Performance division. Is that a manufacturers tag in the rear pic?

That is a GM C5R car. I think everything on the car was specially made by GM; well not the motor. The motor is a C5R from Katech; no one seems to know where the intake came from though.

Crap...I wish they would release rights to the body kit to someone. SLP would be the most obvious choice but I wouldn't have a preference.

I love that nose piece. Kind of gives it that RC car/race car look. <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

That is truly awesome. The only things I don't like are the white panel between the tail lights, and the interior is a little too blue, but nice nonetheless. I like the blue Camaro with the yellow roll bar padding and the flared fenders. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

That is by far the worst looking TA I have ever seen.

I guess some people just can't be pleased. I'd like to know what makes it so bad for you guys. Is it the uniqueness? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I bet all the nay-sayers would change their minds after taking that bad boy for a spin!

This kit looks awesome. I would do the grills to match the shape of the headlight doors tho, so it flows with the rest of the car.
I am sure if we send the pics to a shop that does custom body kits(they are a dime a dozen in rice magazines) the can make the front end and the rest of the pieces with no problem.
I would love to have the shaker hood, especially hooked into my ATI's intake tube.

GM Performance Division brought this car and the Camaro to the Woodward Dream Cruise this summer and actually drove it on the street. I am surprised it didn't show up at SEMA though.

what do you mean ls1 with formula rear?

formula's have ls1's.. like mine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

the interior is gross.. and unless the stock intake is just for looks (looks stupid) then the entire shaker bubble is non functional

anyone hear this car actually run? i bet its stock.

i do like the viper spoiler tho, and the hood would be tolerable if it worked.

I just think that the body kit is extremly ugly. I don't think that kit matches the car at all. The car looks like a rice burner to the extreme and I don't even want to get started on the interior. I personally think that if you want a nice body kit they are out their(ie: West Wings, etc).

The interior is very suspect. I'll give you that. I don't think the body kit is perfect by any means. Great effort though. I know that if I saw that thing roll past me on the street I'd be impressed. We need some audio/video of it.

It was a good fresh air source though which did beat sucking that warm underhood air. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Actually it's mor like the Formula body with the new nose piece and add ons.

I personally think it needs something to tie it all together. I just particularly liked the nose but if it had the Trans Am side skirts and the Trans Am rear bumper, then they could do away with the rear wheel flare.

The interior is just plain fugly but it did finally <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> hit me that the rear spoiler, like the side vents, are right off the old f-body's.

Also, I'm not a huge fan of white but that nose, hood, and spoiler on a black or pewter TA would look awesome. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
