wow that actually looks pretty impressive , but also at the same time looks a bit shitty and doesnt flow very well, now maybe if it was black or something it would look better

not what i expected. it does nothing for me because they deleted some of the body lines. Lines help separate and not make things look so gaudy or "pudgy." Maybe he needs better angles on the pictures and daytime shots. There is too much going on up front too and that takes away from the work. Maybe a complete Ceta (canopy and all) mod would help along with some different wheels and different exhaust tips.

That car just doesn't flow well. I like the stock body lines because they all flow together unlike this thing jmho

I give him major credit for undertaking what was, if done right, an extremely pricey, time consuming job. That being said, I think that the Trans Ams have quite a bit going on as far as curves and what not, I think they look great, but this just makes it to much.

On a Camaro, I think it would look pretty nice. This car just has wayyyy to much going on AND is green. I would still like to know if he had flares made and molded or if they just molded the existing steel.

IMO T/A's are already pretty wide. Seriously looking in my garage my car looks wider than my roomate's Range Rover.

I don't like how he nixed the bumper/quarter and fender/bumper lines. If it was on a different color and they weren't blended like that I bet it would look sick! I want one.

I like it and would like to do that to my car. Minus the g/fx and some more work to make it flow better with the door, more like the Dick Harrell camaros.

Depending on which way you look at it, it looks like it got in a wreck and was fixed by a poor bodyshop. I dont like it but thats just my opinion...

Would look far better without those ugly grills, the extra ground effects, the blended in bumpers, and if the car was a stock Trans Am color.....there are some badass greens out there, and that's not it. Not to mention the huge color clash with the RED brake calipers!

I don't like the molded G/FX, but was probably needed to make it look complete. Color wouldn't be my first choice. Probably would look awesome when executed right
