Hmm... the blue-with-white-stripes kit has shades of Dodge Daytona/Plymouth Superbird about it, at least from the front.

Mark.

I actually kinda like that blue one, with the scoop coming out of the hood. Paint it black and you could really get a Batmobile look out of it.

Moshe,

Have you ever thought of making new stuff for third gen f-bodies? If you made quality stuff, you'd have a great market here.

That's just my opinion.

Bill

i dont think that the demand is there for third gen body kits. i have his danko kit on my car and the quality of the kit is excellent but alot of people here dont like the way the kit looks. if i were to do it over again i would keep body stock with a nice set of rims and invested in a good paint job

I personally like the way the Camaros look without any extra body kits. I love both IROCs and 91-92!

No, there isn't much demand for body kits. Our cars look kick-a** as it is.

BUT.... There is a demand for aftermarket panels/bumpers etc.

I saw a post a week or so ago about a guy who modified the front bumper on his 87-90 Trans Am for better air flow. It looked sick. There was a big gap, like it was designed for an intercooler. If I didn't have a 91 GTA, I would definately be the first one to beg for a manufacturer to make it.

Additionally, a lot of guys are looking for stock GTA or Camaro ground effects cuz they just look awsome. The more our cars get wrecked and melted down, the more of a demand we have for them. Lets face it, a lot of aftermarket guys make LOUSY products.

Notch-back kits are also some what popular as well as spoilers, etc., etc.

So, in conclusion while body kits are not hot, reproduction stock panels and mild body mods are.

Bill

You are right. There is not much demand for 3rd gen body kits. We released the Danko Inferno design in 1991, which was about 9 years too late. Once the 4th gen came out, the market dropped completely... Learned our lesson the hard way. That is why we have made a living for the last 10 years repoducing 2nd gen f-body parts. Obviously, next in line will be the 3rd gen but I don't think the market is ripe enough yet.
