i dont crap money, and you cant get one yet, and i will be stuck at 415hp for a while because of the new ECUs in the bimmers, and e36's with that body kit i put up look way better than any other m3, except for maybe the e30 m3. i dont like new cars that much

There are some body kits, but none look anywhere as good as the BMW kit you showed. The main reason you don't see big kits for these cars is that the rear fenders are steel and they are structural meaning you just can't cut out the fender to get a wider tire in there. The DH camaro's like the orange one have a wider tire in back but the flares simply go over the stock fender and the ride height has to be somewhat high in order to keep the tire from rubbing on the stock fender behind it.

There are some kits from Japan (of all places) here.

There is a pretty radical camaro build going on here.

There's been a few body pieces on ebay, but they looked sucky.

I think the bottom line is if you want a radical body kit your probably going to have to do it yourself.

I'll post up more if I find anything.

That's not really a kit. It's for a PowerTour Camaro racing series in Sweden (I think). People have tried to get them, but to no avail. They are no longer being made.

Maybe if they were made longer. After 5 years of being dropped I don't think anyone is going to offer any real kits.

There are a lot of imaginitive things that can be done. Check out GrnDragons car. He did what he wanted and made it totally unique. https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/691043-new-pics-nice-nw-day.html

If you find a good bodyshop I'm sure you could do amazing things for a lot less than 16K.

There's this one guy over in Finland who has done more amazing work on an F-body than anyone I've ever seen. He goes by Juzzi. Here are a few shots of his cars transformation.





















The grill, roof and rear wing are all carbon fiber. Even if this is not your style, it shows what can be done.

^ That wouldn't so bad if it wasn't purple, standardized fbody exhaust and lost the wing but yeah looks like a lot of custom effort went into it though..
