Well, there is a guy here in texas, I think its dallas but Im not totally sure on location. I think this looks pretty cool, its a nice retro kind of mean look.
but the best thing is the fact that you can get alot of flow to that intercooler
here a link to some pics

Interesting but if you're going through the trouble, I'd would have worked the fog lamps elsewhere... very nice though! Glad to see some people are thinking about this!

Yuck...
A 99 up camaro front cone with the 99 up headlights.. Then cut out the center part where the front plate frame mounts leaving one big mouth for the FMIC. Paint to match and put a pontiac symbol on it....
Just use a longer crossflow FMIC that is'nt that tall... Then the whole IC core will get alot of flow.

Thats a tacky *** cover but has much potential....prolly serves its purpose but the foglights could be mounted somewhere for sure, instead of exposed so much....reminds me of a ricer w/ autozone lights drilled into the ground effects

what do they go for?? Heritage front bumper is coming soon and is similar for I think about $600 but that is fiberglass. Whats this one made of?? I would just ditch the fog lights for that kind of air, My I/C is mounted to the Rad but would still benefit from this type of setup, that silly little air dam doesnt pull much up and with stock fans I need something better :-(

Yep.... I still say get a VNF camaro wrap around fenders and nose combo... They can make a non stretch version. Then start cutting like I did in that attatchment.... Cut the fakeout glass headlights out to clear real ones.. Get some yard headlamps.. new are crazy $.

Hack the center section out like the attatchement an put the round fogs out at the corners and add the pontiac triangle and it will look TA enough.. Most people will be too confused by a FMIC that looks like you stole from a single digit supra.
If you must get the VNF TA front but the Camy has a one fat wide already existing area to cut... Just follow an existing line.

With a twist... Take into acount I only spent like 1 min editing this one..
Open the attachment and imagine the 5" WS6 hood trimmed at the windshield.

I agree with the other guys, this one would look better if the fog lights were moved and it had normal headlights.
