hey guys,

in case any of you are looking to do something outta the ordinary for your iroc/camaro..go to fx designs.com they now have the front skirt that i have on my iroc, ram air hood and newly added rear bumper cover..i think it looks sweet..here is a link for it..

Does anyone know how hard that would be to fit onto a Firebird?

 

That is cool looking. I may try to do something like that to my TA.

 

Looks interesting

 

Hmm that I may actually consider, any possibility of a different front clip ?

 

Not gonna work, they'd have to make a different cover, tail lights, tag mount etc all diff.

iroc2nv: Any words on the cost ?

 

They need to make one that isn't so rounded, if they did i would be on that in a heartbeat.....

I actually like the "boxy" look of the stock bumper covers, call me crazy....

 

Call me old fashioned...but I don't like it...

 

I just realized how it covers the rear lower quarter panel and mates up to the wheel cutout, thats just asking for WAY too much trouble IMO. If they change it so it bolts on like a normal one at the ends and has a ground effect that bolts where the stock quarter effect does, or has an integral one, i'll take it, if not, they can keep it.

 

z28-cost is $488 canadian or like $325 usd.. and i dont think there is much else for a front clip..buy one from another car and get it custom molded like i did...only other way i think

i dont like it as much as mine, but if i didnt get the one i have now, i would have bought that and added some of my own touches to it..it is a bit rounded but it does look good..

Tell you the truth i don't know if I like it or not. Is there a matching front and side clip to go with it?

 

Are those LED bars or just open slots? It's so hard to tell. If it's LED's, do they plan on making a new tail light panel?

I'm not sure if I like it either. It seems to me that it should be part of a set w/front end or something, or a complete body kit. It makes the back end of our car look more rounded and fourthgen-ish, but the front end remains boxy. No offense, but I don't care for your front clip. I AM curious however to see a car assembled with both the front and rear clips from these guys.

Actually if its fiberglass it wouldn't be to hard to fit a bird. The 1/4 panel extensions take care of the different mounting. You could easly mold a spot for the tag. And both the bird an camaro lights are flat accross the bottom so it would just require some minnor molding.

 

I would really love to put that on my Bird. I love custom body stuff.

 

Definitely doesn't belong there.

 

they currently dont have anything for the side skirts..although i talked to them recently and they said that they are in the process of making some...(and i may be able to get them sponsored for me )

ill let you all know more when i know more

Please ask them about changing the design on that to remove the sides that extend onto the quarter panel and only make it bolt up like a stock one and have its own design quarter ground effect, as it sits theres no way i'd get it, im not trying to mold my rear bumper into the quarter, it just doesnt look right, if it didnt have that and had its own 1/4 panel ground effect i'd be willing to pay their price.

 

It looks interesting, do they have any other pics where you can see more of the car and/or one that's been painted?

 

I think it looks terrible, but I somehow doubt that surprises anybody.

 

Great concept. Bad execution.

 

Ditto.

Those two.. slits or whatever look out of place.

Actually, the whole bumper looks out of place. It gives the car a "swollen" look to it.

 

I think it could look alright if the rest of the body was styled to match. Here's 82camaro's car with the predator body kit as an example. The rear bumper has a similar shape (where it's flat instead of sloped up toward the tail lights) and it flows well becomes the other body panels have been changed as well.

 

It would most likely bolt up fine. But there would be one major problem - where u gonna put the license plate?

 

Yeah, I wondered about the license plate problem. I would probably just place it between the two slits, and drill two holes to hold it.

 

fiberglass is easy to change, just have to mold in a spot for the plate, about $20 in fiberglass and a few scrapes of cardboard to make the mold with.

As for the slits, I would deffently glass over them, they are to narrow, and would probably make noise with air moving through them.

My friends that have ric* burners (stomed one last night LOL) I have helped them rebuild there glass bumpers so manytimes, one of wich busted it 3 times in one mounth. I can fix it and change it but am yet brave enough to try to do one from scratch. But I am thinking about some ground effects.

 

WOW i have been looken for something like this for a long time I LIKE IT ALOT!! i will get it for sure if they make the side ones. hey put in a good word for me>get them to sponsor me to.

 

Me no likey.

What are those two slits for? Heat extractors or something?

It is ONE way to make the back of your car look like a fat-a$$ed Mitsubishi Eclipse (the old ones with the HUGE rear bumper).



I have no love for vents/openings in the body that perform no real function.

 

Nice *coughfuglycough* cover.
