I am thinking of buying this front-end (just the front spoiler) for my 91-92 Z28... I plan on adding the PREDATOR rear bumper as well, but keeping the 91-92 sideskirts... What do you guys think of the front bumper? I think it' really original

 

Original doesn't always mean good, infact I usually don't like it, lol. I don't like this either. I think the stock gfx are perfect really and wouldn't change a thing.

 

WELL you're a stock *****, so bluh

i hate stock look, i like to be different

i really like this gfx (just the front, don't care for the rear bumper or sides) mainly because it matches the contours of the car kinda... the square side inlets match the headlights and shape of hte car... the front... i like the aerodynamics kinda... i dunno, i think i like it enough to put it on my car, but they coulda made it look alot better...

 

Seriously man, if you dont like other people's opinion then why the hell ask for it? I've seen you post before asking what you should do and then when people don't say what you wanted to hear you say something smart and tell them you are going to do it anyways. If that's how you are then why not just do it and quit asking questions that have no meaning. If you say you want to be original and like the look then by all means go for it. Doesn't make sense to me for you to say you are "different", yet have to get other's opinions on it before you do it.

 

Eh, it's alright... don't think it looks better than stock though.

 

Hey, your car. Please yourself. Doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

Personally, I think it looks like ***. It is different, but it doesn't look like they put much effort into designing it...

 

Like was said above, different is not always a good thing. It looks like ***, on top of that it looks like a cheap jcwhitney stick on special. Barf. Why hack up a nice car?

not my taste.

 

it looks ready to go plow the snow.

 

I agree.....
But....I think your car looks great. Adding that might make it look a little disfigured I guess. If you don't want to keep it stock....but would still make it look like a Camaro....get an aftermarket hood or something....just a thought...

 

One thing I think makes it look funny is how the lower front ground effects looks like it is flat almost. If it came out more to a point like the stock body lines it would look a little better. It looks lke a factory front GFX after you park too close to a wall or curb and it stays permanently bent downward!

 

Looks ok,
hell if you get it!! the city might cut taxes down...
you'll be polwing there streets for free!

 

I don't see how you think it is more aerodynamic, being that it is bigger and flatter!? and I think it would ruin the car, especialy since the front gfx would be lower than the side. But thats just my $.02

 

im searching for the method to the madness. Yeah custom is great as long as it does something, that is just a whole lot of nothing. If you get it be prepared for random idiots who know nothing about cars but just watched the fast and the furious to think its "ill" and for gear heads to think youre a moron

 

eating turd sandwiches with ketchup is pretty original and different too

food for thought

 

I don't wanna know how you thought of that...

That nose looks absolutely hideous. If you wanna make your car different get an aftermarket hood like previously mentioned. Or how bout an real nice set of wheels?

 

Well its not as bad as that other hideous nose some company makes. But thats about the only good thing I can say about it- its still ugly over all. Hopefully you don't ruin your beautiful car with that, but its your car.

I don't see how anyone can "hate the stock look".

 

ummm i think it looks kinda inbred

 

maybe it's something in the beer up there in canada

 

haha yeah its called alcohol you guys should try putting a little bit more of it in your own beer Actually thinking about it getting drunk off your *** is about the closest thing to a good excuse as to why you would think of doing something like that to a camaro and its still not a very good reason.

Wait if you were italian this would be too perfect (not knocking all ital's its just theres too many of them driving around in beat up v6 camaros that think theyre bad as all hell). Quite honestly i say go for it what the hell do i care. Youll just be one more idiot driving around in this town with a slow, ugly *** camaro. Its people like you who make owning a nice third gen so special because there really arent many nice ones around these days. Like i said go ahead and do it, im sure it wont look too bad in my rear view mirror, what am i saying yeah it will.

 

well Ive seen the kit and here are my thoughts on it. One the front bumper needs to flare out more at the bottom to look right, looks like its folding under. I do like the rear bumper though but Id bring the exhaust tips out the middle section of it like the new SS cars. I do like the rest of that Vert that its on though, it looks different and really looks agressive, just flare the ront out more and it would be perfect.

 

lol buddy, u live in markham, you're only 5 minutes away, watch what you say

slow camaro? mahahaha u wish

stop flaming me you retards... i just said i thought it was an interesting kit... and i might go for the front spoiler!

 

hmmmm....can we say hypocrite....

this post is going downhill i think it should b locked b4 it gets worse....

 

and how much do you know about cars?

i don't know but last i checked you were what... 17 years old??? just got your iroc? yes i'm pretty sure you're a rocket scientist already with your iroc....

i don't see what the problem is with customizing cars... not everybody is into the all american ******* look... some people like to customize there cars... kudos to them for that... sure i hate alot of imports myself, and sometimes when a guy pulls up in a little ***** box i laugh at him, but yet inside i still give him respect for TRYING to do something to his car.

anyways... back on track... i don't know if you're directing all your criticism at me, but what makes you think my car is slow? do you know what i have lying in my basement? do you know i spent $800 this week on additional performance parts? would u like to see a picture of my new intake that has been ported and smoothed out entirely inside and out? would u like me to photograph a reflection of my *** in the chrome borla tips i have lying in my basement?

DUDE YOU'RE BREATH STINKS CUZ YOU'RE TALKING TOO MUCH ****!

how many people do you know making kits for third gen camaros? tell you what, when you design something for a camaro i'll listen to your ****-talking, until you go and produce something that looks better, keep your mouth shut...

*** i hate stupid people... you wanna know what... personally, i hate the look of stock irocs... i think it's starting to look outdated, and that's why i bought a 91-92 z28... and even with the z28, i have big plans... what are they? i am getting 18 inch chrome boyd coddington rodder 5 rims, ss hood, 5 inch spoiler, predator rear bumper that makes a camaro look like a callaway camaro... and i was thinking about this front spoiler to be a little different...

so why don't you guys just shut the **** up and let people do what they want to do... and as far as "hacking up a nice car" goes... i'd rather hack something up that isn't rusted to ****, cuz then i'd have a hacked up ****box.

grr it's late i'm going to sleep.

OH AND BY THE WAY, YES, I OPENED THIS POST BECAUSE I WANTED OPINIONS, BUT WHEN LITTLE KIDS LOG ON AND SAY "YEAH YOUR CAR WILL BE SLOW AND UGLY AND I'LL SEE YOU IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR", I GET PISSED OFF AT THEIR STUPIDITY!

 

and furthermore... you wanna see the big picture buddy... maybe you need a picture

picture this... with the rear bumper on the car from the bottom right picture... and the front gfx off the car in the bottom left picture... and yes, that is my blue ****box in the picture there....... then picture a 5 inch iroc spoiler replacing the high-rise spoiler.... and then my custom exhaust idea with it exiting under the rear quarter gfx...

there's different people in life... there's morons, and then there's creative people who make their own ideas...

and to everyone else in this thread, sorry for my aggressive attack... i realize not everybody likes this kit... i don't even know if i do... but when people talk **** i gotta teach em a lesson (or at least try to)

 

and here's the picture

 

That coming from a guy with a rebel flag in his sig really means something!

 

kindof hard to answer to all those replies of yours. But here's a shot - and I know I already answered that I think it's hideous - but here's why.

on that particular front spoiler, there are 3 things that just don't match that sleek modern muscle that 91-92 Z28's have.

1) The center lift ruins what kindof low stance you were going for. To me it makes the other areas of the spoiler look lower than they should be.

2) The extra front air inlet - I've never been a fan of giving your car more places where water hits metal. And regardless - what would you be cooling? nothing. Form after function.

3) That spoiler is meant for a stock height car. If you look at the drop that you have in the picture and the size of the spoiler...let's just say the paint and fiberglass would not last long on that spoiler. I doubt you'd even be able to move the car without horrid scraping noise.

If you're going to go off the deep end on some supposed "kids" who are fresh into the world of thirdgens - have at it. But there is a reasoning to their madness.

and btw....I think your car is absolutely gorgeous. if it was me I'd make the car exactly like the picture you posted - no 5" iroc spoiler, no different rear bumper, no different front spoiler. sweet car :hail:

 

Yay! I get to state an opinion right before it gets locked! yay!!

Ok WTF!!! Why did you make a post asking people's opinion on something and then get defensive and criticize them when they state it? Personally I think your car looks good now. I think that the body kit almost looks ok in its entirety. However how many ricers have i seen with a front bumper kit hangng down on the ground and then sideskirts up about say 3 inches above the front bumper. Too F.in many to count thats for sure. I wouldn't change the ground effects on my car at all. As far as body mods and stuff I likethings in the way of 84Z's car. Nice and subtile (well sort of) instead of completely in your face and gaudy. IMO this kit is pretty gaudy and IMO it would look a million times worse if you just used the front ground effect and left the sides higher. Again this is my opinion YOU ASKED FOR IT.

And to make sure that this will be locked after my post (since it needs to be) I would like to furthermore state.
What the F%$ is wrong with people. Why did you make a post asking opinions and then flame people for giving them. Ive seen your ride before and post by you and havent had anything against you before this post. This is absolutely obserd. Post like this, and some other people on this board are completely killing it! This is supposed to be for fun and for people to get help and try and encourage people with there cars. If you make a post asking opinions, you get them. I you have EVER seen a post asking people's opinions on body kits on this board you would have know exactly the responce you would get from asking about one. Ill end this by saying WTF is wrong with you!?

 

um... i wasn't really mad at people's opinions, infact the front spoiler is growing a little less on me now...

what i was MAD at was the comments made by that doug guy, saying "yeah your car will be an ugly slow ****box with that bodykit that i'll see in my rearview mirror"...

 

actually I think it looks tight.......

those air vent things give a much more up to date appearance, funtional/not who cares it looks cool,

stop flaming the dude, people are too damn stuck on the way the car comes stock.. HOW BORING IS THAT? why look like everyone elses...

is that just a front ground effect spoiler kit?? or does it come with side skirts and a rear end???

 

*puts down his fosters* it's australian for beer but bottled in canada hmmmm you guys must be doin something right

if that doesn't say it all for ya i don't know what will

 

OK first of all thats a really freaking nice car, although how you plan on driving around in TO without destroying those wheels in all the pot holes is beyond me.

Okay now i take a step back. I am going to attempt to define a word.... tact : something i dont use too often because it doesnt lead to things being entertaining. Even with those speed parts i bet i could give ya a run for your money but really thats besides the point. I still stand by my opinion that its a really bad idea to put that on your car. I dont understand why takeing a perfectly good piece of a car and then putting vents and flares everywhere somehow makes it look cool!?!? thats still beyond me. And in terms of your car looking different from everyone elses if none of that stuff is in the pic you posted is chopped on and it actually looks like that i have never seen a car like that driving around in TO that thing looks mint.

I wouldnt chop up such a beautiful car as far as i'm concerned and ive stated this a few times before, subtelty is the key. You dont want something on your car that screams HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THIS you want pieces that flow so well with the body lines that they look like it could have come from the factory that way (even though its completly custom.

Sorry for going off on a rant on you before but there are too many stupid people in this city, and a large portion of them seem to own camaros once summer time rolls around well definitly have to go for a cruize that is one sweet car.

 

I really dont feel like i said enough in that last post. I take back the majority of what i said because youre obvoiusly not an idiot when it comes to cars. As for the comment about being 17....no i dont claim to know all that much about cars (although i try to learn a bit more ever day).....but the fact that im not impressed by body kits that have huge flairs and lips and all sorts of stuff thats "in" these days should show you that im just not another punk *** 17 year old. I also spent 2 hours yesterday at a junk yard pulling some miscelanious interior pieces off of a car and just looking for a couple different things, and i had to spend about a half hour listening to these two whiny *** ital's bitching at each other as they tried to pull a dash of a maro 2 cars over so that explains part of my going off on a tangent. Sorry again for going off on a rant on you, very nice car, stay away from that kit tho

 

Hmm, I am not even going to waste my time commenting on this abortion of a post. If this kid wants to make his car into a hacked up bling-bling turd, so be it.


Where's the usual lock however? This forum in particular is typically a lockfest, even good posts get locked up.

 

I think most people are being a little too hard on the guy... he wanted opinions yes , but not flames.

I think the car would not look good with the kit. That's all you have to say. I know I said it looks like ***, but that too is still in bounds.

When you go saying, oh it looks inbred; it will make it slow; you suck for even thinking that; it will make your car look like a r icer; etc. ... it's just not neccessary.

 

ok everything's cool now... i drop everything against doug

 

I dont know about others on here but i dont think anyone should sugar coat their opion just because someone lacks the mental maturity to read what people say AFTER that person askes for it. Just read from the first responce down you can see the maturity level.

 

i like your car now, easy.

good luck with your mods, and pls don't get yourself banned.

 

Not impressed with the arguing, stereotyping, substituting ***** or @%#^ for words that shouldn't be said, and the overall stupidity in this post. Anymore of it in any post will result in Probation/Banning for whoever is involved. Getting tired of it guys.

I'm not for the ruining of any nice stock Third Gen or for extreme appearance mods either, but if you post critisizms it should be constructive and if you're the poster, make sure you can take it before you make the topic.
