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" />

Re: Gotta find out who makes this kit...nice!
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.

Re: Gotta find out who makes this kit...nice!
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" />

Re: Gotta find out who makes this kit...nice!
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" />

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" />

Re: Gotta find out who makes this kit...nice!
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.

Re: Gotta find out who makes this kit...nice!
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.

Re: Gotta find out who makes this kit...nice!
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.

Re: Gotta find out who makes this kit...nice!
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.

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" />
