I also agree that the fin and louvers are gay.
But where can I pick up a body kit like that?

I think motion glass makes the wide body kit. You can find their number/advertisement in the back of your favorite car mags; I don't believe they have a website and it seems I have forgotten to put the catalog back up on my website. Sorry 'bout dat.

The way this car is set up I'm guessing it's used for racing/autocross stuff, so the spoiler is prolly needed. Louvers, I dunno, maybe to introduce cooler air to the engine at speeds?

Did ya check out this Super Rammed '68 Camaro? http://www.baer.com/Media/CoolCars.aspx?CoolCarID=1

Not a 3rd gen I know, but the coolest car in that whole gallery IMO. Cooler than that Marlboro thing which looks like it has a white goatee on the front!

How can a car be gay, its a machine. If you don't like then say you don't like it. The only car that is gay is the Neon and the Miata, no offense if you or someone you know drives one.


The Camaro is not my particular style, but its not mine so who cares.

I like the wide body but not the paint job and wing, now if they had a 5 inch 3 piece spoiler then that would be sweet. I love the 68 "drools"

I think a more boxy wide body would have matched the car better. Like...how the new WRX Imprezas or the R34 Skylines are with the boxy wide fenders. Having a round wide body dont look right on a camaro.

i'd be wondering if someone could somehow modify those fenders/quarterpanels to fit firebirds. Too bad they only make that wide body kit for camaros.

I don't like the paint, widebody kit, or wing.

I like the hood and brakes and the rims are alright.

the car is okay for what its used for but lose the wing and it will be better or get the 5in iroc spoiler like some one mentioned before.

I don't like the whole thing all together, the body kit is from motion performance, they dont have a site but if u look in the back of mags like chevy high performance u can find a little ad, plus if u look around and actually find the body kit it is only for 82-84 camaros, if u want to put it on a later model it takes some modifications to ur body, just some useful info to all u people considering this

you can also order that body kit from American Sports Car Design, it is called the IROC turbo body kit, the hood in the picture is the hood that goes with the body kit

The hood almost looks like my Glasstek, but the lip over the windshield just doesn't look right. Mine is more curved than that over the windshield, but everything else is there...except the louvers.

I like the car though, I might try the GTA louvers just for the hell of it, I think they look good. As someone else pointed out in the other thread, twin turbos under the louvers would just rock.

If I were to change one thing, and only one thing, it would be the wheels.....go ahead, call me crazy, I don't care.
