i think some of the people around here are forgetting that the evolution is not a body kit, but a kit car package. it is meant to create something new, not accent the original lines. would i do it to a perfectly good 3rd gen? no. but it is original and does look good if you dont think of it as a 3rd gen, but its own enitity entirely. but, it is an all around project. to leave the stock interior and wimpy 305 would not be giving this project 100%. now updating it with a 4th gen interior or the evo interior, along with a healthy ls1 setup to bring its power up to its "exotic" looks would be doing this setup justice.
but just buying the kit and slapping it on is not the complete project. be prepared to spend a few more bucks.....
a guy around here has this "kit" for his car.... apperantly either he didnt know what the hell he was doing, or the kit is a cheap rip off. Because his doesnt really fit to well. there are gaps between the panels, some as big as 3-6 inchs. he has zip ties and screws to hold it in place. it looks alright from 300 feet or so, but any closer and you can tell that its a POS. He takes it to the drags some times... never runs it though, i guess he is afraid of the panels ripping off.
i have the evo 2 gts kit sittin in my shed right now just waiting for me to finsh of the rest of the car they did an great job making this into a kit car not just a crappy body kit the work on the fiberglass parts are as good as you can get from anyone should drop alot weight thats for sure i love third gens all ways will i think for sure they are the best buy for a performence car out there anywhere i mean i don't know any other car that you can go send like 1,500 hundred on a well used late 80s 350 tpi car an have it runninng in the 14's stock and hanlding like the beast they are as far as alot of people not liking the kit that goes hand and foot with everything ohhh crap you put those wheels on your third gen but ok all jokes aside it all comes down to one simple thing the best thing of all i want to be different then the other third gen owner down the block or at the local street racing spot what kinda of third geners would we be if we all rolled around with the same stock f-bodys not that theres anything wrong with a clean sharp third gen put when the kid next door out there reving up his fart blaster and the mustanger gives you the drive by then you jump in your car and hit the key and that feeling hits you just like it hits most of us and thats why we are on here the lov of are cars third gens for life.....
why the frig would somebody put a $7,000 body kit on a car thats probly worth half that!? a ***** body kit on a thirdgen... What is the world coming to?
Actually Designfx in Edmonton Alberta, Canada makes a complete body kit for the third gen camaro and firebird. You can check it out at www.fxdesigns.com
Okay. How can you even say an American Manufactured car is ugly... except Ford.
But I would consider doing it if I had a junked thirdgen just sitting and rotting. The way I see it, Giving and old car new life is love. There are two ways to accomplish this:
1. Completely rebuild it from the ground up and making it your own and running it.
2. Taking a brokendown car and putting such a body kit on it.
Dont get me wrong, I would NEVER do that to my Camaro, and never do anything like that to my Lumina either. But if had another camaro, Id harvest parts off of it for my RS and then convert it. Then I'd have my cake and eat it too. I love Chevrolet and especially my thirdgen, but if I had another camaro sitting and rusting I'd do it.
i would not wast the money on it i mean if it was like a $1000 kit and didn't have anything better to do with your money then do it but only if it wasn't one that you have already fixed up or if it was a really nice car in the first place.i would put it on one that you are planing to fix up if you could find the kit for cheaper.
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'll second that. It appears the GM styling department has been eating paintchips since 92.

Again, this is the heart of American hot rodding. It saddens me to hear people calling guys like this r!ce, because, this is how it all got started. Take a history lesson. Dudes who tore apart and chopped, tubbed, and welded their cars together, apart, and into pieces to make the most custom ride they could afford. (ric*rs aren't much different from american hot rodders, their cars are just sold by the squinties)
HEY RS_BOY I LIVE IN SANTA FE NM AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU ARE GONNA SELL THAT 89' IROC-Z CONVERTABLE IF SO LET ME KNOW DUDE EMAIL ME AT DesertEagleCaliber88@yahoo.com
i doesn't matter who likes the ferrari kit and who doesn't because they only made 50 of the kits and then sold the molds so no one is gonna have this kit unless you find a car that already has one on it. i think the kit is stupid why disgrace an american legacy and make it a fake italian sports car. if you want a ferrari then buy one dont ruin the chevy heritage by fakein a junk sports car. just my opinion, by then again what do i know.
I must be missing something I couldn't find the word "Camaro or 3rd gen or even F-body" anywhere on that sight. Why do you think this is a kit for a Camaro?
I wanted to build a kit car and decided building one out of a GM F-body was just the ticket. I've always been a Pontiac fan. I get a cool looking car and a hot rod project all rolled into one. They only ever made 50?

im not sure if this was talked about because i didnt feel like reading all the posts but my dad owned a togan its a 87 firebird with a widebody kit from the factory or wat ever i just know they made like 350 of them. i think it looked alright but it depends on what you personally like
theres a link to a overpriced one http://www.classyauto.com/v/Pontiac+...ght+Mare/35710
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.
you took a beautiful American car and turned it into another import. Now you can fit in with all the other import in this import world. A sad day when some one wants an American car turned into a import.
The kit in the widebody link is the Danko Inferno, not a sniper.
thanks I misspoke and I didn't know the full name either so thanks

I've actually wanted the wide body kit on the gray car for quite some time. It saves the original line of th e car, just beefs it up a little...none of those wild ***** curves and mesh.
whats up guys? could someone please tell me where i can find the stock 82-92 style spoiler that is extended? ive seen pics. of them on some cars on here but cant find them anywhere. thanks!

an improvement over the firebird, yes, the camaro, i don't think so. does anyone know where to find a decent body kit for a 91 rs? i don't want anything ridiculous like that just something subtle. clean and simple but different than stock
I wouldnt mind the side kirts or the rear bumper so much but that front end is hideous!why would you do that if i wanted a honda look-a-like i would have bought a honda

awesome (gumby) not making fun just being funny but it looks like roadbird? firerunner? roadrunner/firebird I'm confused as to what it should be called but it is cool
theres a few peices on "andysautosport.com" i think they look alright, hey sell a zr1 corvette tailight piece for the third gen. im not sure if it would look right, but if u wanna try it out u should put up a pic on here!!!!

yeah i dont like those on the third gens. i have mine blakced out with the tailight covers and they look REALLY good with my white z28 with black stripes
Personally I'd consider the wide fenders and quarters for the hardtop 5 speed IROC I'm after, however it would also be an open road race car so the handling increase would be phenominal
There are more body kits then just that http://www.americansportscardesigns....ages/s-125.jpg
I like the hood but other then that it makes it look kind of like a corvette to me. Idk, i guess i just really like the looks of third gens
I'm all for a nice kit. Up here rust takes cars quickly and buying all new fenders would be a silly thing to do for a car thats still just gonna be a $500 third gen. I suppose she could've just been crushed instead, some of the people on here may have prefered that.
I'll have to post some pictures once I'm done. Me and my ****** got a little carried away and cut the roof off to put on a T-top roof. Not a bad undertaking for a ***** like myself. :P

if i ever see one of these kits on a third gen i think ill blow it up.... at that point that would be the best thing for it..... put it out of its misery so it doesnt have to suffer any more...

Agreed, that link should have a warning sign on it, it actually hurt my eyes...
this is duraflex xtreme body kit. You can get it on ebay new for about $700 including shipping. I was thinking about getting this kit too. It looks very nice!!!
