Camaro Body kits for 82-92

I came across this surfing the web...this is the only body kit I've ever seen for a 3rd Gen Camaro. I personally think it's a little too extreme. But hey, if you got the money then what the hell? Lemme know what y'all think.

That kit is horrible, I seriously think that no 3rd gen lover would ever do that, anyone that does needs to be shot.

Overall, I'd have to agree with you guys. If I had an extra $7,000 and numerous F-bodies, it might be something I'd try. But yeah, turning an American car into a Ferrari look-alike is wrong. Thanks for the input guys.

The only body kit I would consider, but no one makes it.

Yeah, that thing shows up every now and then. I mean come on, if I wanted a Ferrari I'd buy a...uh nevermind.

Gumby, what would you call that, a Pontiac Superbird or Firebird Daytona?

I call it a superbird. But really; don't the lines match the styling of the original.

It would go ver well as the 90s version, if dodge made it.

I think that is a good remake of an old car, has the original lines but is still up to date. not lik ethat new GTO with a grand am nose, a neon tail and a honda civic wing.

I know this sounds horrible to you guys but I bet there's a lot of people out there afriad to say it - but I love it. I don't like the interior, but I think the outside is awesome. Seriously, though, I understand if many of you are totally against making our cars look like something else, but making it look like an exotic car is sweet. I don't think it's something I'd do to my baby, but if I had an extra to mess around with, I'd totally do it - forget its a camaro and look at what it is - a sweet looking exotic car! make it fast, clean, and reliable and its no fake. You guys who think it is can keep your noble ideals and stand in a corner with a smug look while I'm flying by in an inexpensive exotic car that's catching some serious looks!

I don't mean to offend anybody, this is just my opinion, but calling it stuff like "gay"? - only if you don't like ferraris and lambos! And saying somebody should be shot for doing it? That's a terribly extreme view and you should be shot for having it! (See the irony?) Anybody agree?

Unconventional? Yes. Original? Kind of. Good looking? Not in my book of AMERICAN cars. For a euro, it at least has a good platform...

I don't think Id bother wasting my money (even if it was given to me) on something like that. I love camaros, all of them, because of their muscle car looks and styleing. You take that away, and you are left with just another fast car, and around here, they aren't that hard to come by.

I don't now about where you're from, but I've NEVER seen even a remotely exotic car here - they sell them in Dallas, but I've never seen one that wasn't at a car show, so I think it would be awesome to have something that looks like that, and I don't think it would be just "another fast car" - a WRX is just another fast car because the looks aren't that great, but this something quite unique.

I agree, it doesn't look good for an american car, but don't proclaim it to be your camaro with a body kit, just think of it as a unique car, unbound to any certain place - I have a great love for our american cars, believe me, but I'm also fascinated with and love cars like ferraris and lambos, so this would be a fun and cool thing to do (if i had an extra camaro), and around here, would be something hard to come by

i agree with your 100 percent. I luv it every time i look at it i dream about havin it lol. just hope they are still around 3 years from now, i want to keep my thirdgen my whole life but older people see it as a kids car or "*******"and bla bla bla now if i slap that on that kit i can drive in style i am sure people will think u got alot of cash just drivin it, rather then people noin your car is old and cost next to nothing.

this is a bit off here but i saw that movie just marryed and the guy has a mint dodge charger, look nice as hell, but in the move they have the nerve to call it the beater, and pice of $hit. arnt those cars worth something????

Thanks for the vote of confidence, good to hear I'm not alone!

As for the charger, they're worth something to the people on these boards! Man I'd love to have one, especially a General Lee! (And no, I'm not a southern kkk white supremist but I'd want the rebel flag and all lol)

I got your back Jamesbob02...I originally posted this topic to get input and some discussions going about this body kit I found. I think it kinda sucks that people have to resort to violent comments to get their point across. Anyways, thanks for the honest input from a couple of you guys.

The mian problem with e "evoluzione" kit is the price.

You better have one nice ride to think about spending that much on a body kit and if you did have that nice of a ride, why mess with it.

you should have 7-10,000 in your engine and frame before you buy a body kit for a stock 305 aro.

Big problem I see would be the re-sale value. who's gonna spend 10-15,000 on a camaro; even with a nice body.


But I'm sure somewhere out there is a guy with a 500 dollar thirdgen just wishing he had another 7 G's to spruse up the body.

and for that 7 G's you don't even get the whole kit, still plenty of optional crap too buy.


a body kit should cost no more then 2-3,000 unless it replaces factory parts.

ya that body kit does not fit that car. the only thing i would do to a third gen was leave the body alone and just toss money into the engine to make it a sleeper. i say sound of the car and performance over body kits. who ever thought of that body kit was definately on something

Personally I think the kit is a great idea, if I had a better job and a super bucket early sc i'd go for it. You'd turn numerous more heads then you would in the sc, and for all the right reasons.

just looking at the design of the body kit.... it looks exotic and unique, and no one else will have it. also, it would have the added bonus of the good ol' american rumble when its cruising.
but...
i couldnt bring myself to do that to a thirdgen, i love the design too much, and i simply could not butcher the car like that. another thing is, with such an attention grabbing design, it should be able to whip a**, and unless you've got some deep pockets, the money for the kit will undoubtedly take away from performance money...
it would make me cry to see someone do this and not spend any money for performance.... in my book, that would define "****"

I agree with 90firebird...let's say someone does have the $ to buy this kit, you'd have a nice lookin car but what about performance? If you're drivin around in a car like that people are gonna wanna race you. If you're only focusing on the appearance then you're gonna get your *** kicked on the street and the other guys gonna be yellin out his window "I just beat a Ferrari!!!"
