I am sure you know of ?kobel? something like that. I know they make a kit for the firebird that looks really good, I dont know if they make anything for the camaro. If you are making your own, good luck and I hope it goes well.

i really dont know if you can get any more aggressive,stylish,and tasteful than the GFX found on 91-92 Camaros.I think thats a part of the car that should be left untouched.but hey,if you feel you can make something better,than you have a better imagination that i do! hope it works out well,and keep us posted with some designs.

Yes, you can have more aggressive ground effects that are tastefull, yet stylish at the same time. The problem is that its really hard to do. I have over 400 various thirdgen drawings that have custom ground effects on them and of that 400, maybe 2 look better than stock.

The stock ones were designed pretty well. If our cars had wrap around bumpers, then I am sure that we would have lots more ground effects options.

I would just leave the stock ground effects alone.

I did a search for you and this is what I found.





Thers more, but I don't feel like waiting looking for them anymore

Pic is in the signature. Not really custom GFX, but aftermarket. If I was to do it now, I might consider using the late model effects--when I put those on and painted it late model third-gens were only 1 year out of production (93) Just so you know, I didn't hack up a z28 or anything. It was a v6, no GFX, no rear spoiler, 14 inch wheels, no sway bar, etc... It's unique and I always get compliments from everyone that has seen it in person(a few on this board don't like the look)

OTP: This is what I am planning to go with eventually. I have to get it imported. Though I will tweak it a bit. Got to get rid of the licence plate front plate mount.

here it is....

redraif,

Is that nose in production or is it a mock up? If so who sells it?

Hey Raif, thanks for the url. I'm building a '79 Z for my g/f and she wanted a wild body kit. I finally found one. Might cost alot though.

That nose will look neat assuming there's GFX all around the car and such.
