Default why do this to a Camaro????

I was on lunck break monday and found this camaro for sale at the book store.....why? Its the white with a blueish tint paint from Trans Am, while the rest of the car has the reddish tint white from the camaro. You can't really see it from my pics, but it's bad.

I think the bigger thing to point out is that the Camaro has a Trans Am wing..

yeah thats what i'm saying it stick out like elton John at a Godsmack concert, plus the color is nowhere close to matching. Plus 70 style chrome SS emblems on a z28 no SS hood or wheels

That's strange and all but not the only one.. Few months ago I was drive back from South Dakota to Texas. Stopped to get gas at some place in Kansas and saw a blue LT1 camaro with LT1 TA Ram air hood and I believe he also had firehawk wheels? WHY???

I always had toyed with the idea of putting a TA wing on my Camaro, but I would've done something a lot better than that pic to make it blend instead of just looking tack on.

I've never understood that... If you want a trans am or firehawk, don't ruin a camaro to get one... Just buy one.

I'd like to see a side shot of the car. The top curvature of the Trans Am quarter panels are different than the Camaro. The wing wouldn't sit flush without modification.
