In my opinion, the front end of a stock thirdgen Camaro is one of the best looking out there.
Who in their right mind would think, "Gee, this car would look much better if the front end were stubbier, and it had a huge chrome truck grille in the front."

Customization is a funny thing. Whenever you do something drastic like that, you cut your possible buyers down a lot. Honestly I think it looks "ok", but I also prefer the stock front end. As most of us know, when we wrench on our car we gotta do what we think is best and what meets our taste/budget. Good luck finding a buyer with similar taste. If he waits long enough, I bet he will though.

Soon, hope to own a 87-92 formula, just waiting for that perfect car to come along.

Not my taste at all but i gotta admit...it doesnt look as bad as i thought it would. It looks like he did a pretty good job of blending it in. But the big question is...why? lol
thats almost as bad as a "*****" wing....ahh hell who am i kidding WTF!!!!!

Honestly, I actually like it. I don't care what any of you think. I think if it were more cleaned up and maybe a different rear and interior it'll look really custom and 1-off...

actually, the way he did that front reminds me of the 5th gen camaro. I have seen alot worse shitt done to our cars...this one is not that bad, and looks like the body work he did is good as well.
IMO its just crap. The overall paint not bad and its nice and clean but Come on can't you see that car just crying for some overhaul back to original state. And i do agree trying to look like a new car its just puke. If i want something like that i would go buy a 5th gen camaro. What an idiot.
