http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/fx/camaro.jpg

look at that!!!
A company called FX Designs makes that.

I think that is the first body kit I've seen for a camaro! (other then your normal ground effects)

What do you think? I think it looks weird, but I like it at the same time....

isn't that the same front clip as iroc2nv? I remember he did say that some company was going to make a mold out of his front clip, and i believe it was fx designs but i really don't remember. but it does look awful similar

it is definitely different!!

not my taste, it does add a sort of custom look to the thirdgen.

i like the stock body lines, the only thing i would change on my cars exterior is the hood/rims.

Besides the sheer ugliness of that clip, and the fact that it doesn't fit with the car's lines at all, it's not bad...

It is nice to see that they have made a body kit for the maro, shame it doesn't look as good as the birds kits.

The only reason why I don't particularly like your ground effects because it has both a vertical and horizonatal vent look design. If Kobel made it one or the other I would probably consider that kit.

haha, thats so funny. This year, me and a friend were gonna mock rice up his POS 88 Celebrity with cardboard gfx, foil "rims", toilet paper racing stripes, and badges from all sorts of cars for our Homecoming parade, but it got cancelled due to rain. We were even gonna have someone sit in the back with a kazoo to make the exhaust sounds.

My friends and I werw joking about mock ricing an old civic last summer. We came up with some cardboard gfx, a coffee can on the stock exhaust, aluminum foil rims, making z3 fenders with a sawz-all, making altezzas with a hammer, rattle can stripes, and the home depot lowering kit (4 nails).

Of course we never did it, but it was fun joking about it.

I think M3 fender scoops would look great on our cars.

I've been wanting to say this about that nose clip for a while....

It looks like someone ran the car into a red hot forklift... which ended up both smashing and melting the nose into some weird shape that no one can figure out.

Either that, or it hit a riced out Civic in the *** REALLY hard.

...Good, I'm glad I had the '*****' to say that, its outta my system

The worst you have ever seen has not been created yet. I think holes in the bumper are too large and curvy. What bothers me is that of all of the import style designs to copy and put on a thirdgen Camaro - they chose that one. Its the kind of front end that doesn't blend with almost no car.
