Would anyone do this to their car? Makes it look like a 68-82 Corvette body If you ask me.

I would do it if I had an 82-84 Camaro and had a seriously modded 350, 383 or some big block and I had a beefed up suspension and wanted 333s to fit in the rear without modifications, otherwise I would not do it.
If I was still a teenager, which was only last year I probably would have thought about doing it.

Like it....but....
remove that rear hatch black louvred thing and that is a good looking car!! IMO!
Have you all seen how straight that thing is? That is damn good bodywork! Where are the joins? Not a dent or a ripple in sight. You have got to admire the skills in doing that, to that level of perfection.
The true test is..would you be seen driving it?
I would.

Stripes look bad, hood looks bad, louvers have to go and other than that i like it. It would be awesome if the flares faded into the doors for a more smooth look but that would double the cost

What I really like about the kit is that it flows with the body lines of the car. The window louvers have got to go though. I like the multitone grey paint and headlight covers. The wing looks good on the Camaro too.
$1000 for the kit is a good deal considering how much wide body kits for other cars cost.

91-92 wing, and hood or maybe a cowl, lowered and 17" Snypers with that body kit and yeah Id drive one no problem. Only thing I hear about those kits and the finerglass work is that they stress crack and look horrible after awhile, unless it was a metal bolt on/weld on body kit I doubt Id want to mess with it. Its different atleast??

I kinda like it. I must say alot of time and money is in that car by the looks of it. If it has the power underneath it's shark like appearance then sure I would do that if I wanted to be really different. That is what it is different, but...I still like it... Why not?? It looks very aggresive!

Nah, I don't think so. Looks a little too '70s, for those of us that remember. I've seen lots worse though. And as for the Corvette thing, I like my Camaro to look like a Camaro...guess I'm not very imaginative.

I like the body kit, I just don't like anything else on that car. I'd get rid of the louvres too... unless it was a different color car maybe, like bright banana yellow. I'd also put taillight blackouts and maybe remove the headlight blackouts depending on how it looked.

It is a bit dated, but good for a beastly muscle car look. I think it could be updated a bit. Maybe throw in a bit of the new concept car touches. Front fenders would have to be a touch taller and flow down into the hood. And the spoiler I actually like it. I wondered where that spoiler came from. I had seen it on another Camaro. Is the body kit from Motion? and $1000 for the whole body kit is not bad.

I would do it minus the hood and the louvers on the hatch. Wide body kits are cool. Like you guys said some nice wide 18's or even 17's to fill the wheelwells. But instead of having the wheels kinda stick out with alot of fender gap, have them tuck with a nice drop. Imagine it with a show winning paintjob. SS hood and maybe even a notchback? Wouldnt look bad at all.

theres a kid i see around a lot that has just the fenders and rear quarters on it, its an 82 cfi 305, not very fast ive raced him several times and it was no competition but it looks pretty good, if he just got some more power to go with the looks it would be pretty cool..

I really like the kit. Except I'd go with a different hood and wouldn't use the louvers. And I would definitely use a sharp or bright color, I don't think a dull color like that would be too great.
