Although I'd never consider putting it on my car, I think it could look pretty good if it was done right. Use that, rounded wheels and maybe a 4th gen WS6 spoiler, and it may make for a neet looking ride.

I would have to agree with Jim and say it would look good if done right. It doesn't look too bad in the picture, but I would want to see the whole car, it might not look too good once you saw it with the rest of the car, since the rest of the camaro is so boxy. Just my .02

I think it is ugly as ****. Look at the bottom of the spoiler and then the start of the factory ground effects. Does not come close to matching up. Looks like a ghetto ride.

I remeber that nose. I got a brochure from the company that makes that a few years ago. If you think the front is bad, you would die if you saw the back. If I remember correctly it was even worse.

Maybe it could be made to look good. Dunno. Different strokes for different folks.

At least the car looks happy . What a non muscle look. I think it's fugly in that picture. I tried to picture it in every color and it only gets worse. I think it would have looked better if they hadn't made the front end look so much smaller. It reminds me of the front of a funny car.
