Buy a body kit and pimp it on this site and be the new rice of American Muscle.

Agreed fully. Only a DH car can pull that off.

Showing all go, and not being able to back it up is riceish, build that car, with no performance, and I agree with firehawk..build that kit and drop in a badass motor/tranny/rearend combo = respectable.

Adding a Dick Harrell kit and saying it's a Dick Harrell is wrong to me.
Polishing a motor or offering carbon fiber isn't saying you're a Dick Harrell car.
Most people here have no ******* idea what I think! It's for the common good, but I'll never for one ******* second offer body kits. Not me.

The people who buy this kit are going to be people that have done many motor mods. It is most likely going to be pricey and only hardcore F-body people will dish out the money for a kit/paintjob. As for rice being anything to make it look fast-F-bodys already are fast and this would just reinforce the idea.
I for one would MUCH rather put this kit on than an "unricey" polished alternator and carbon fiber AC vents

If you make the kits ultra-high quality and keep the price high to reflect the cost involved in making the best, I can see it being restricted to the best cars.... ones that can back up the look.
Having a somewhat attainable price will attract the people who bought a 160k mile car, securing this kit with sheet metal screws and some ghey rims... = the downward spiral for V-8 4th gens.
Luckily the majority of cheesy f-bodies are restricted to the v-6 cars.
I love the idea! However, if you're going through the trouble to make molds, why not make it a bit different than the D Harrell cars and make a "total appearance package."

Well prepare to be ahamed since that would be bound to happen. Heres an idea, demand to see a picture of their car before selling the kit to them. That way all the owners will be hand picked by you, and only the worthy ones will have it. lol

I'm a member of 3 sites. Excuse me for showing a picture of my car! What have you done in your 40 posts and 0 trader rating to help people? You seem like a jealous little ***** to say those things when you have no idea what I stand for in the LS1 community.
You obviously don't know what kind of horsepower my engine makes eighter. You just put something worse than your foot in your mouth.

I would just like to know how anyone can talk **** about firehawks motor and the work he has done. Thats just rediculous. SpeedinT/A, If you spent half the as much time learning about these cars and motors as you did running your mouth, you might not come off as such a MORON.
