Nose Job: Has this been done?
Finally got around to 'shopping this, to see what it would look like. Wondering if it's been done/how feasible the pros think it should be without major 'surgery', and just generally interested in everyone's opinion.

Re: Nose Job: Has this been done?
I've never seen anything like that before. And, let it be known that you asked for this:
My opinion is that the car pictured above may be the ugliest thing I've seen proposed to one of these cars. At least in the top 5. I would not do it, but it is not my car.
What were you trying to get at with the idea?

Re: Nose Job: Has this been done?
personal opinion, that car is not good looking at all
i would applaud the effort if you decided to try and pull it off, but i would still think its hideous

With some more styling on the hood , it could actually be kinda cool. Tons of fab work involved to do it though, including totally custom hood.

Re: Nose Job: Has this been done?
that's a mustang front end... kinda scary. Looks like a transformer mistake.
As to your photoshop, I think the change of the louvres is a bad idea. Where they were was nice.
IF you extended the hood some you might be able to come up with something that looks retro yet still a Camaro. Remember, especially people here, we bought these cars because we love Camaros.
Some mods can enhance, while others make it look you did a sex change on it. This looks like a failed science experiment.

Re: Nose Job: Has this been done?
If I was you, I would be very careful posting something so sacrilegious..... 
The
'Camaro gods' may send a bolt of lightning to ZAP your computer, and blow out your photoshop. 
But good job on your p/s work !

Please don't. You screw up the looks and the aero and make the car unsaleable. Plus you might make ***** of the year on RICEKILLER.COM

Don't really find the OPs design that attractive.
I have seen a 5th gen front end on a third gen and I liked it.

I agree I may have overdone the hood extension; perhaps just an inch of growth instead of 3-4 would be better. The louvres I do prefer on the hood, but as my 'Maro does not have that particular AM hood, I chose to wipe it clean. As the hood would be extended from the rear, not from the angled front, I figured I'd add some louvres to the imaginary extension piece.
I inherited my Camaro from my father, years ago, and I love it, and have been slowly returning it to a healthier state, one piece at a time. But I've gotten to the point in the work where I start to wonder what I can do to make it unique; I like what the RS Bodykit (don't know if that's the one I'm actually talking about) does for the car's front end, making it less < like, and figured I'd see what I could do to build upon the idea without going overboard. This is the first iteration of a world of possibilities.
That said, I truly appreciate your attempt to give more than just negative feedback
I expected some, to be sure, but had hoped there would be answers to my other questions as well. So far this thread reveals little but that people here hate beamers and **stangs. Not that I have a problem with that xD

A quick glance at the thumbnail I thought it had an old school baby skyline bluebird front clip, even more so with the flares on it.
Personally, I wouldnt do that.
