Thanks everyone for the support. 
You guys know me and I wish I could redo my 1st post so it wasn't mis-understood.
Sorry to hijack the thread further, but I just have one last thing to say. To the SpeeDink guy... The polished engine under the hood adds nothing hp wise. It's done out of sheer respect & dedication for the LSx engine. If you have to ask you'll never know. You're a douche nozzle
and everyone that saw your scribble has you marked now. You might as well change your SpeeDink name to something else and TRY to start fresh.

Dustin: Great idea!!! It is a powerful look that really belongs on SOME cars. Bad A$$ Camaros to be exact.
It might take close to $6-10k to get the molds right, but you WILL make the money back.
I just worry about the lower cost of high mile cars and low class idiot owners making cheesy mods & deteriorating the huge "cred" this motor has on the street. When I first thought "body kit" I cringed, but Dustin; your idea if done right with a price to reflect quality would be a great item to keep the value and desire for these cars high. ~Joshua

Ah well my interest in having flares would die in a heartbeat if you had to stick them ON TOP of the current fenders. That's very cheap sounding. A replacement panel is a whole 'nother story though.

This really makes me mad about a year ago when i had my 94 i found a little custom molding shop that specifically made this set up, If we search are brains out we might be able to find it(google). That look makes the car look bad *** plain and simple!

imo u should use the DH car as inspiration.
flared/bulged fenders would be badass, and help people who want to run 11in wide wheels. as far as front end, id like something that looks stock, without adding a whole front gfx piece. somethin similar to the dh car would be badass
go for it, good luck

I was tryin bro. But here goes. I think it would look wicked with a little variation to the DH car. But from talking to the guys that built the GMMG cars it would be very time consuming and a huge PITA to construct one and you would probably have pretty high cost on it but I think they would still sell because people are in love with those figures of those cars. If you got it done you wouldnt have to worry about if it would sell and if people would like it, it would sell like beer at a jimmy buffet concert. I would offer one thing, options, I would atleast offer the front bumper with the lip. Dont mass prduce it but make it an option. I dont think you would have to worry about people duplicating it too bad. There are many things on the DH car that cannot be replicated and some are an assload to get done. From seeing and sitting in one I noticed many one off type things.

Well you wouldnt really have to worry about the hood since VFN makes it, and the spoiler is also available from a few sponsors. Just worry about the big things first. I am one person who would ove to see it done. If this kit were a reality in the next few years I would but another camaro just to put the pieces on it. widebody+camaro=

I'm only going to say this once. Dustin has been very patient considering the stuff that has gone on in this thread. Keep it on topic and knock off the bullshit personal attacks or this thread ends. I don't want to have to lock Dustin's thread as he's trying to accomplish something here, so if I have to lock it, that won't be the end of it.
I hope I was clear in my intentions.

With that said, D, I think if you could pull that kit off it'd be tight as hell. Add your own touches of course. Also, I kind of like the lip on the front bumper, reminds me of the Saleen S7. But it would HAVE to be a new molded front bumper, as I've never seen an add-on that looks that good.

Like the looks of the kit (minus the hood) - Maybe you could come up with something a leetle different for the hood. Being a T/A owner obviously I wouldn't buy - but it's a fresh look for Camaro - since most of us have never seen a DH car in person. I can forsee some major toolling/engineering costs though 
Godd luck to ya in your enterprise
H/C car here with the N/A rwhp/rwtq numbers shown in sig - and on a Mustang Dyno. New engine combo should put me VERY close to the 500hp N/A mark.
Not very hard at all to get 400+ with PROPER H/C combo
How much $$ do you have in the bank????????????
BTW, I have quite a bit of bling (chrome, polished SS) under my hood - doesn't seem to slow me down in the hp/tq area - it IS possible to have both

As for hp I am willing to bet the bank on a meager H/C car pushing maybe 400? I bet its a real beast huh? Dumb rednecks.
