Yeah, Get on a PS2 and look at the racing Camaro they have on GT3. Looks incredible.

Yeah, but are there any real-life applications of it though?

A fender roller would widen the stance nicely. Add to that some 315/45R17 tires on 17x11 wheels, and you'd be about as wide as a Hummer. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'm all about it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . I think a wide body kit with some big tires and a low stance would look super badass <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

sounds like ricer are buying camaro's <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> When you say rolling the fender will give it a wider stance you are just talking about stuffing bigger tires in, not widening the look of the stance itself, in whixh case a fender roll will not accomplish. I see a lot of hondas with rolled fenders and they dont look any wider, even with fatass wheel/tire combos.

I can e-mail you pics of the GM one-off blue camaro that has somewhat of a widebody on it. I don't think anyone makes this kit for our cars, but it would be cool if someone (wink, wink) would make it for us. I'd be the first one in line......

let me know if anyone wants me to e-mail them the pics that I got.

That would look like a truck with 315s. Dont you mean fender flares insted of rollers? you can already fit 315s on a F-body

6']['9: that's the one I mean. When installing 315's it really accentuates the smooth lines of the car, giving it a more organic flow.

CAT3: don't be offensive. We here, unlike the ricer segment, back it up.

It only rolls the lips and thats it.

Messiah, that is correct. It does a little more than just roll the lip when set properly. Creatively applied, it gives the f-body a rather pleasing "hourglass effect" that is remeniscent of the 1967-1979 Stingrays. I've seen the effect a few times at car shows, and I rather like it.

I wouldn't do it. For some reason when I hear the words "wide body kit" I think of a 1980's Toyota Corolla all pimped out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Save your money and apply it towards going faster! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Here is an F-body with a C5 rear bumper that looks pretty cool. Photoshopped of course.
