New concept kit for camaros and birds

Tell me if you guys like it. Few hours on photoshop and alot of determination. If you don't like the way it looks, be gentle, it was alot of hard work.

later

i dont really care for it...........i dont wanna start a rice-war so i'm not gonna say what i truely think of it.........

heavy mods like this just bother me.............if you dont like the way a stock camaro looks, why in sam hell did you bother to buy one in the first place????

cars that look as cool as 3rd gen F-cars should be left closer to stock, cuz they were designed with just just that (design) in mind

Don't even start that rice **** man. Everyone here is tired of hearing it whether you are kidding or not. If don't like it say you don't like or don't say anything.
As for the body kit I don't think it looks too bad, jus not quite my style. I agree it does look better on the Firebird.

I think thats pretty cool.. you did a really good job.. I think it looks really cool on the bird.. I think if the headlights where moderized to what the current camaros look like, I think the camaro would then look really cool, add a induction hood, or something and it would look really cool..

no offense, but it looks stupid.
IMO it looks like you took a stillen 300ZX front bumper and just pasted it on there.
the only half way decent looking kits ive seen on Fbodys were on those composite bodied Trans Am Series race cars.

Thanks for all the replies. Actually, that is a bumper cover from a nissan pulsar from an australian company called suborn. I'd stick one on my bird, along with an intercooler behind it Looks better than the bumper on that purple 'maro floatin' around.

wherw, all the photos are photoshoped, after closer inspection i noticed this. I was about to scream. I juss frdunno. Looks like trash if you ask me. However with some modding that firebird the first pic might look tight. different grill style maybe.

That second picture looks terrible. If I had to chose one, it would be the nose in the first set of pics.

Those first pictures look like they have huge smiley faces for a grill, try incorporating some iroc foglights and the black iroc grill with the red chevy symbol.

I think they both look pretty nutz. In the near future I'm atcually going to modify on another cars bumper. I was thinking a Blitz front bumper. Either that or maybe a black widow kit.

Photoshop is a software program that kicks serious *** - I use it all the time. Check out www.adobe.com for more info.

As for the pics, I dunno, the whole body would have to be changed for it to look good, not just the front end.

Hey great job with the Photoshop work, arn't layers kewl. Anyway I'm not a fan of Imports and I would hope no one else here is either, but it looks a little to much like Rice to me. Why destrory the natural beauty of the F-body, and make it look like every other toy car out there?

Are u joking, thats total "rice" BS on a musclecar?? When will u few guys realize its ridiculous, or just sell your car to some1 who has the "knowledge of domestic musclecars" and get a ***** already if u want idiotic looking bumpers and stupid taillights. I usually don't post like this, but its getting too much.

Bah, face the fact, some "rice" can beat our cars. I personally love to hate import cars though there are a few I wouldn't mind owning (I must say I'd trade my third gen in for a Nissan Skyline GT-R VSpec II in a heart beat) but I don't think they'll ever match American muscle. Damn, I need a Dodge Viper

"some "rice" can beat our cars"

Yeah, what, V6's and TBI's?? So some "rice" is faster, now your going to go and make your car look like 1?? Thats kinda stupid huh. They are a joke, every1 that sees them laughs at them because they are the most idiotic looking cars with all their "rice" BS, stickers, lights, add on panels, 1" thick tires, 20" rims and all the other usual stupid stuff. The dudes that actually want to make their cars look like that are not only crazy and just asking to get laughed at, don't realize that they are doing it to a CAMARO, A DOMESTIC MUSCLECAR, that should represent all Camaros 67- and all musclecars. Do u ever see any of those with that stuff, I'll answer that for u, no. It should be the same for our cars.

I think this is so funny. You "old" guys who say, muscle cars are muscle cars, and should all look the same, why?? You say rice sucks. I guess by rice you mean import. Imports don't suck, maybe american ones, but not "real" imports. Why do you think wide-mouth bumpers were brought out in the first place???? They were performance oriented. To get better airflow, and slap a big intercooler behind there. Plus it's art. They want their car to look like something more than a box with wheels. And you bash these rice guys for tweakin' out a 4-banger. Why? It's called ingenuity. You use the addage, "bigger hammer to do a bigger job", instead of using your friggin' head and technology to improve upon a smaller engine, which can spank a V8. I personally know of a mazda rx-2 that'll kill any modded camaro, and it's still runnin' the stock computer. YOu guys, gimme a break. Just old fogies who can't accept different things. The guys who actually do like the pictures, like other cars as well, not just camaros and firebirds. Has anyone ever heard of Holden?? That might be what you consider rice, but it's GM! Wide mouth grill, color-coded ground effects, big wing, your "rubber band tires" and all. ALl you rice-bashers claim "GM is the greatest". If it was so great you woulda seen camaros marketed in other parts of the world. Instead, they made something better and handed us down all the crap(even though i love 'em ). Step out of the little box gentlemen. There's a whole wide world of cars out there. And alot of them push 3 or 4 hundred horses, while gettin' over 20 mpg. Ok, i'm done. And i wish those were real bumpers, cause i'd definetely have one. Thanks for all the compliments on the work guys. I try Think i have a future in the photoshop field?? I hope so

Later

Kids will be kids, if they want to make there cars look like that, that's fine with me, just makes mine look that much better, big air intakes and driving lights may be functional but looks out of place on Camaros and Firebirds, the only kit I have ever seen for F-bodys that I liked was for 4th gens. It was a kit that made them look like a Dodge Viper and you really had to look close to tell the difference, the windshield rake and the taillights gave it away, and the sound of course.

Nah, i still like my car, and she's paid for. Ignorance is bliss my man. If you never accept anything new, i feel for you. Do you discriminate against everything that's different, and un-american? american cars are just like everything else, including hot wheels, you look on the bottom, and boom, stamped on it says made in taiwan or some crap like that. and like i said, if i could find a "real" import here, i'd do it. And keep the bird, and see how the two match up.

Its just some1's own opinion dude, just opinions nothing else. When u make a post like this u can expect them, every1 will have 1, so don't assume stuff or get messed up impressions. I will always be for the domestics and musclecars, like most here I guess, I just don't like to see these cars get all switched apart for a want to be look of cars that want to be fast, but just look ridiculous. That doesn't represent what they are and what they stand for. Watch Speedvision or something and learn. This isn't something new, its something stupid. If u can, let the imports look like imports, and let the domestics look like domestics. MO anyway. I'm not saying anymore.

<font color = "red">Look, this is an extreamly dabatable issue. I'm personally 20 years old and I can not stand imports. I think they are ugly, they sound horrible, and just plain dont get my blood rushing. On top of all that it seems like everyone and his kid has one, or is getting one. Now why would any of us mod our cars or have different color paints, or interiors? Because we like to be different, I don't want to have the same exact car as you. But on that same note, they all build their rice (including domestics, neons, cavilier, etc...) to look alike. I believe I speak for a lot of people, or at least I hope I do, when I say rice, I am referring to all the 4 bagger(or V6) super crazy mod cars out there. It don't matter what country they came from, it's mods that are done that make it rice.

</font>
I personaly take offence that because I dislike rice I would be considerd an old timer. What's up with that, do you think I can't be a power hungry 20 year old. When I turn my car on I want a car that growls and rumbles, not farts. I want a car that guzzles gas, has a huge engine, bucket seats, looks like a muscle car, and drives like a muscle car.

Sorry I had to get that off my chest...
