not feeling it.... the body lines (or lack of) and the tails just don't look right IMO.

not bad...you prolly should have waited till it was painted to show pics...prolly could have avoided the Prime=rice crowd, and as long as you dont give it a crazy two tone paint job it will deffinately look unique. props man on hard work and a job well done

Very different. I too think it would maybe look better with the taillights recessed a little. Would be interesting to see more shots of it once it's painted gloss, taken from various angles.

I like the body kit, and you should get this hood IMO:



I'm undecided about the shaved body lines, I'll have to wait and see the finished product.

Tailights, don't like them at all. Maybe if they were more recessed, I don't know, but its pretty obvious that they are Vette lights. I'd go with maybe some lights from a 70-73 Camaro, or maybe just a generic looking single round light on each side.

And shave the rear keyhole, since you shaved everything else.

Once you get your cowl hood it will look better. I'd say throw on a SS spoiler and either sink the tailights a bit or flush mount a pair of the 70-73 Camaro lights as already suggested. What color do you plan on painting it?

i kinda like it. I think it would look good if you did your own version of the berger. Like the lines around them black. And if it were me id sink them in and get the led version. Maybe smoke them bit not too much. I think i remember the camaro youre talking about wasnt it silver with these mods and a black area like what im talking about?

it really only needs minor changes to be pretty sweet. i'd say if u molded in the side skirts and rear valence, brought the body lines back to the doors, recessed the tails a little bit, left the ss hood and got an ss spoiler and actually painted it that be a pretty sweet lookin ride. some different rims would help too
