How do you like this bad boy?



He says its a

1989 IROC camaro 350 heavily modified with a K-1 Evoluzione body kit. Car will be painted Corvette Torch Red. For more info on this conversion, see my web sight. Just click on Evoluzione build page. http://www.mikescustomcobraparts.net
I've not found the kit like that on the web, and I hope to not find any. And I didn't see any Evoluzione build page he was refering to. But I thought you guys might want to see this

I kind of like it, there is a website for the body kit but I dont know what it is but it is called the Evoluzione, its just like a ferreri kit car, they use a fiero as the body, but for this one they use the 3rd gen as the body, its different so I like it

Those kit cars are pretty neat. The thing that usually tips people off is the interiors are usually left pretty stock. Throw in some of the 4th gen interior mods we've been seeing, and people wouldn't be the wiser until you popped the hood...

i like the kits that i have seen but i dont liek this one at all. it reminds me too much of the 96 body style mustangs. i do however liek the Lambo, and the Ferrai kits that i have seen but this one isnt really one that id even want to attempt.

I like it. I think it looks really good. It kinda reminds me of a supra. I don't know maybe that is just me.

the website is www.k1-styling.sk depending on the kit you get (one has scissor doors and a few other goodies and another is kinda bare) the price is 7-8,000 bucks for the kit alone

I'm certainly not trying to make anybody feel unwelcome here, but anybody that's been here more than 15 minutes begins to realize that we see the same crap 200 times, and every time it sparks a discussion that leads to flames and a bunch of pissed off people. People here have taken every possible measure to help avoid this, by making sticky notes in every forum that address the constantly asked questions, but it never fails that we wind up seeing the same crap over and over. Other than making the search button 4x the size, blinking and following your mouse around the screen, there seems to be no way to avoid it. Politely reminding people doesn't work, because they know it's just easier to ask the question or post the pic before taking 10 seconds to do a search, but it seems that everybody that got ribbed a little remembered where the search button was from then on.

Yeah, I've only been active in these boards for about 2 weeks now, so I didn't know some of you had seen it. But I figured I'd post it anyway, since I hadn't.

A kit is a kit. You can tell from a mile away. That's why I don't like'em. If they were able to fool me, which they don't, I'd have more respect for 'em. The rims are to small, it sits too high, etc. etc..

the only "kit" i have ever seen that i really liked is the fiberglass body panel kit. and the only reason i like it is cause im starting to get cancer in my wheel wells and id rather buy a fiberglass kitt and spend time totally eliminating the problem and still have the exact same look of the body just with no rust. *** i wish i had money... now im rambling..

I guess I should have read the whole post before posting my last one, oh well, I looked into this kit long long ago found it on the net searching and then saw it again in chevy high performance magazine I just wanted to change the back on a 3rd gen to that one but naw I changed my mind I would not do it. Oh by the way what ever happend to mark the post *****?
