*****, our cars just have been born with the right "face".

Rims,hoods, rear spoiler and height are the only things that can be changed at the exterior of a 3rdgen camaro

my 35 cents....

well.. honestly, it looks like t-total ****. If you wanted to be a Tuner, you should have bought an import. That look is not good, it doenst flatter the car, it makes it look like the bastard child of satan, with lines of a retarded *****. American Muscle should never be forced to look like cheap Rice. Its like putting a blitz kit on a a roadrunner.. You'd be shot on sight.

but then again, thats just MY opinion, and well we all know about opinions...

The only remote reason to use that bumper would be an easy solution for a FMIC, but even then, I'd rather be n/a than look gay.

http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/fx/ Is a link to the site that sells it.

FX Design is the name of the company.

Keep the thread nice, if it turns into a "bash the ***** look front end" it will be closed.

I don't really want to admit this but they are actually from my home town
Edmonton Alberta.
It's not pretty and I've never seen one driving around here.
Most of their stuff is for imports and they should keep it that way!

i don't understand how someone could design that and actually sell it, they can't be making money off that. the only bodykit i would buy for a 3rd gen camaro would be something that looks like stock but with a deeper chin look to it.

In my opinion it has nothing to do with what "belongs on imports", or the pride of the Camaro and American muscle cars. All that matters to me is looks.

And that thing is damn ugly.

My opinion is there are definately body mods that could be done to accentuate the aggresive looks of the 3rd gen Camaro. But thats not one of them.

sorry if my post was a bit harsh, it was not intended to bash, but rather to express how much I hate that front end, and how it looks on our beloved 3rd gens.

Personally, everyone has different tastes customizing, what I may do you may not, but this, this I hate. So again, Sorry if it read harsher than was intended...

Also, I didnt know that the word i.mport was a banned word!

It is different, I'll give it that but not my taste. I agree with the gentleman above. The front end looks good as is. It ain't broke and doesn't need fixing.

well in a positive discussion format, the only reasons i could see that someone would do this are as follows :

1.) To be different, as in you see too many 3rd gens around your area. All are in good shape, and your trying to compete in being your own origional form of customizations .... so just because it IS so different you'd do it.

2.) If you are leaning to the i.mport side of modification, i.e. All you know, or ever wanted to know, is tune.rs... There is nothign wrong with being a tune.r but if you wish to do it to your 3rd gen, this could be why.

3.) Odd as it may seem, some folks probably hate the front end of the 3rd gen.. I know, blasphemy.. but it technically "could" be possible. That is probably the only other reason i can see somone wanting to do this.
