Ever seen this before?

I think it looks like the love child of a 300ZX and a Camaro! Not my taste. Look at how much he has spent on the car by the way. 20K?!? http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/v...or=&cardist=49

It reminds me of some of my drawings. I don't think you can make the thirdgen camaro more rounded and pull it off. I imagine it might look better on a bird.

You know, after peering at that car a few minutes more, it does look like a catfish.

I also agree he should've selected a Camaro without t-tops to put such a kit on....the tops just don't fit in with the design to me.

i think the evo kit is overpriced and by the end of the day, your front end still looks like a new eclipse! I wouldn't be surprised if they use those headlamp assemblies. I have to admit, i think the back of that kit looks pretty good. Personal prefference i guess!

you know on the evo kit.. the only thing i would do is the lamo doors.. im not a r*cer, but something is just soo cool about that... id have a sweet **** g machine of my car... and then pop open the doors as slide them up! I think id have to get f'glass doors cause our doors feel like they came of a an M1A1.

Not bad, I think it would look better with the turbo cowl hood on it though, with that it would make a good combo, interesting style, I could like it.

I think it kinda looks like the mopar super bird. The way the nose cone sits on the front and the headlight covers go with the nose lines. Kinda like how the superbird looks like/is a charger with a nose cone. Kinda sorta... Ive definetly seen worse body kits out there. This one atleast looks like it keeps a sleek and sexy look without beingtoo outrageous or messing up the body lines. Just my opinion.

This sums up my comment......

$4,000 is a resonable price, but then again it looks like it still has some way to to before being completed

The painted one looks pretty cool. I'm all about the original 3rd gen look. But that kit looks cool. You can hardly tell what it is.

That almost looks like the front end that they used on the concept Camaro GTZ.

Danko Inferno

It's nice to see that after 15 years people are still talking about this kit lol. It looks kinda like the concept car because I designed it before the 4th gen style was released. This was what I thought the new design should look like. I have lots more pics of previous designs and other cars that I built. I built the blue and white one for a customer in Atlanta. He helped me put the kit on and we had a great time over the weekend. (He supplied the beer). There were only about 20 kits ever made, but several of them I know met an early death. You can find this kit for sale at www.dankoreproductions.com I haven't sold one for 10 years, but I still have new parts in the molds. This is a new addition to our website. Until now, I pretty much forgot about it, but these cars are coming back strong!
