Personally, I like anything that adds to the muscular look of these cars like flared fenders to fit a 10" wide rim up front and 12-14" wide rims in the rear. A nice bulging hood is also nice if done well.

If I ever see those on a Camaro, I'll say "thank god someone is finally paying attention to our cars body besides Wings West and Xenon".
I hate 6" fart can civics as much as the next guy, but having options for the look of your car without having to get stuff custom made is something camaros have been way behind in.

the first one is not too bad. some colors could look really good IMO. good for a front breather setup. the second one is horrible, that style looks horrible on any car. the camaro is kinda left behind, cause the firebird at least has the firebird and trans am options
ok i see what people are saying... yes someone is making full bumber replacments... whoopie they still look like ****. if sombody is serious about making money on these cars, i have a few suggestions: make the zl1 hood( not the one from dgm that looks nothing like the gm performance hood) make wide rear fenders, make a wider front fenders/ wider bumber combo (like the sunoco camaro). now there may be a few acceptions to the rule, but i dont think that anyone on this board would seriously put any of these kits on their car. i really dont think these kits are selling, and i dont really undderstand why i continue to see these things produced. hey i got an idea guys... stop giving these kits all the praise some of you are giving, or were never going to get these kind of body kits going into the right styling direction.

couldnt have said it better, there are/was quite a few options for our cars rksport/xenon/dgm/wingswest/ascd/vizage etc imo body kits/etc like this ebay one hurt the fbody community, they dont match the look or style of the car. if we want neweer kits/hoods/fender i say we put the pressure on companies we know can do it, like vfn. not some no name company on ebay

Some people want variation, and that is something that all of our "great companies" aren't providing.
Personally I'm glad someone is trying new things, atleast they are getting off their *** and trying, unlike "our" companies who are just throwing a 2" piece of urethane around the bottom of the car and charging $700 for it.

They are doing ground effect kits that change almost nothing on the car, and hell even most of their ground effect kits only vary because their front pieces are a little different.

And for the "rice" ****, people here think halo headlights are rice. LEDs in some situations are rice. Changing interior colors is "rice." Anything that really modifies the car seems to be rice.
It's really kind of annoying. Some of it is funny however; you stick a black panel on the back of the car and it's considered ok. Why is that ok? Well because someone who put it on cars that cost a lot of money said so! If someone who sells expensive modified camaros can do it, it must be acceptable!
