i think it would look goofy along with the rest of the stock gfx..... also, i think it might look goofy with a complete set! i dunno, imho, you cant get too much better than the stock gfx.... but i'm still interested if there is a complete kit, and if there is, i'm curious as to how it looks...

i would love it if the edges were less rounded off, the lines of the whole car are square so that bumper doesnt really work

Right, its too round of a bumper for a squared off Camaro.
Looks better than the predator bumper, and I like the air diffuser look, but it could use some work......

i think it's dead sexy...

.. but it does have to be finished off with some accompanying fx for the rest of the car

actually, looking at it again, i'm not too thrilled about the way the slats protrude like that.

i'd like to see more pix of it on a car tho

What is it these days with making all sorts of car parts and cars that are all rounded?

I for one enjoy the boxy look of the camaro and several other cars. That bumper would look so much cooler if it were squared off instead of rounded off......

I like it but I dont think it'll match up with the 91-92 sideskirts. I think it matches better with the 86-90 GFX (the way they are shaped). But even then I think the rear bumper would hang lower than any stock sideskirt so it will look off on any model. Definately need to have sideskirts that hang a little lower (and same with front clip). I'm temped to make an order for my track car (with 89 GFX) and see what I can do with the sideskirts and front clip to match. I definately like it better than the stock rear bumper. But I dont like the front clip that company makes (and scared to see what sideskirts they might make in the future) ... so unsure what to say

I like it too! I agree it is too round, but with a custom paint job with sharp lines you could make it blend better I guess I wanna see the rest of the kit! I wouldnt put it on My car but I do like it. Maybe if I had a second Camaro. Is it me or does it look like a 300ZX rear but modified?

Actually... that's not too bad..... I think it needs the 5" spoiler though.

The bumper in the first post looks good, ONLY if it has a matching kit with it. But that front end in the last post looks like ***. Personally I like the boxy look that the Camaro already has.

Please tell me your kidding, These racer replica ***** wannabe body panels look horrible on these cars. I mean isn't the body style one of the reasons we love our third gens?

That front bumper is from a different body kit. Personally, I think that rear looks pretty damn good sans useless slats in the middle. If it's shortened a bit so it matches the other GFX, you got a pretty nice kit there.

Way to rounded for an otherwise square and boxy car.

although i cannot comment on that skirt because i am sponsored by that company, i have already since spoke to them reguarding getting a better more current bumper cover..more like the one i have on my iroc now...

they are working on the side skirts as we speak and i cant wait til i get my hands on them...

as for the front...it will change( from the best of my knowledge) from the one i have now..but the one i have now will still be offered!!
