I dunno, if you read the lengths that these people went to get their Camaros (converting them to "trucks" to dodge import taxes, then converting them back), it seems pretty hardcore.

Hmm...very interesting and kool. That's hardcore to go to those lengths to get one imported. Customs by Bernt did an El Camaro custom back in about 96 or 97 if I remember correctly. That was a super nice custom job that was done up right. I wish I knew where that was at today. Wonder what it would cost to get one of those exported back over here!

i think customs like that are awesome... just give it a hot rod theme and it puts it over the top.

i've seen pictures of an 03 Cobra done the same way and pictures before of Camaros such as this..
