Default Trans Am exterior goodies for Camaro?

I've always been a Camaro guy instead of a T/A guy but I've noticed something. The T/A's have a sleeker look to them. They have those... sexy curves on the mirrors, doors, fenders, front bumper, and very little on the quarter panels, and they also have the vents on the fenders. After noticing this on the T/A's, my Camaro looks really plain. Are there any goodies like these made for Camaros?

all of that is what makes them less sleek than the camaro. the camaro is a clean, simple, sleek design. the t/a's have more flare, more pizzazz, more of an "I eat babies for breakfast" look when you see one in your rear view mirror. they're far more aggressive and in your face, especially with the t/a spoiler and the ws6 hood


as for adding something to give the camaro more flashy looking, there isn't much you can do without starting to go in the tacky direction, or without the ability to do some custom work. the easiest thing to add I guess would be some sort of body kit (ie. wingswest or rksport, or even the optional appearance kit) of course the other basic mods help.. wheels, stance, hood, grille, lights, SS spoiler, etc

wide body kit FTMFW



look up McNord if you want to see what can be done with a plain jane camaro

Yeah I meant to put the 'Camaro' has a sleeker look. Just me typing too quickly lol. Would the doors and/or mirrors interchange with each other?

NO, wanna see how much work is involved find the thread on the TRANSmaro and see what it took for that guy to get it to go together (pictures attached for reference), something like the front 1/4 of the door had to be transplanted IIRC.
