Turbo Body kit

I might want to install this body kit onto my 92 Camaro RS and was wondering what kind of modifications that the company is talking about I would need to do. and how much do u guess it would cost if I had it professionally installed?

hes talking about this one that ASCD makes http://www.americansportscar.com/cgi...w.pl?s-125.jpg

The kit is ment for 82-84 Z28s but im sure you could make it work on your 92

Well i put that 91 92 RS nose on there and now i reedited it so that i think it looks much better. But it is all just dont in photoshope. I didnt recrop the front nose agian i just used the tools in photoshope to make it look better so it is still not perfect.

how does it work?

are those fiberglass fenders in the front and steel in the rear welded in place or is it jst fiberglass molded onto the current fenders? If it is just graphed on the current fenders afte time will it not show cracks and look like ****?

The hood is the only good part, the only car I've seen where that kit looked good was that race car posted a few days back.

OH, and the hatch thing looks like crap too.

it would look sweet if yo had some tires that tucked into the wheel wells gid rid of the notch and possibly put that 5 inch spoiler on the back (you know the one every one wanted to buy a while back.

In a few years when the 82s are emissions exempt, I have a feeling I'm going to get one for my Caddy 500 big block. I really want this kit on it too, with the second hood shown and the regular kit spoiler. I really like the look of this thing. I think it's more Porsche then BOSS Mustang, though - just my two cents.

I think it could look either really good depending on what features u add which wheels,hood, and wing. Or it could look like something from the **** patrol if done wrong.

i really think that the widebody could be done tastefully and make it look really awesome. It would be a cool project to do if i knew how to do the bodywork . otherwise it might get expensive. But it could deffy be done tastefully . I think it would take me time to do it all right , like pick out the color, the rims, the spoiler . but deffy possible.

Nice race car. If I were open road racing a thirdgen I'd probably end up with a car looking pretty close to that. It seems like you can fit some pretty massive tires with a bodykit like this.
