That Viper steal z28 is the sexiest camaro i've seen. I was never really a big fan of the stock frontclip. That just makes it wonderful. I will only get a camaro if it has that front end. sigh

Thats badass I had been thinking about doing it but figured it would be VERY difficult to make it look good, I also like how you molded the front plate cover into the bumper

Love how you shaved the handles and antenna. Really cleans up the car as well as molding the front cover into the bumper. Looks Awesome
