Wow. A lot a really good work went into that car. Although a lot of off the wall modifications, it at least doesn't look half-assed in any way.

As a Knight Rider fan myself...I'd hate to say but that thing looks hideous on the outside. The interior though looks pretty decent.

Re: Camaro/Trans Am/Knight Rider

Man, he's got so much crap on that thing he doesn't even know what it all came off of.

He claims his fender vents were off of a GTA... Nope; Sorry.

He said his headlights were from a "late 80's Beretta GTU"... Which, just so happen to be the same as every single Beretta ever produced...

Oh, and the rare ZQ8 wheels.... ...not to mention all the other tacky stuff...

...lets not forget the awesome holes in the hood to make clearance for a dual inlet air cleaner housing - The heater pipe going to the intake is classic too... Maybe he's from Cali, but still....

...what some virgins spend their money on...

Re: Camaro/Trans Am/Knight Rider

You totally lost me - I was only stating he must be from Cali because of the goofy air cleaner setup.

Wow, douchebag much?
OMG! His headlights aren't specific to special model he quote! OMG! He didn't know fender vents only came on TAs and not GTAs?! OMG! His wheels aren't as rare as he says!

He posts a video on the internet showcasing his car of course he's going to jazz it up a bit. Yes it's tacky but at least it doesn't have corvette tail light panel or 80 million chrome add-ons from JCWhitney. Relax.

Not my taste (except that sweet blower!), but he put alot of work into it to make it his own. I can appreciate that.

The interior gadgets are insane! Love the blower. Not real big on the dash pad cover and some of the exterior plastics but dam a lot of work in that car!
Need a big narley burnout with the blower screaming!

Re: Camaro/Trans Am/Knight Rider

Back in the day, tacky garbage like that would have been mocked by at least 90% of the membership of this site.

A lot of effort may have gone into it, but the craftsmanship is awful, and the finished product is the perfect punchline.

Some of you have terrible taste in cars.

That explains the 90% drop in idiocy

that 90% also traded their f-bodys for a Prius

Re: Camaro/Trans Am/Knight Rider

I think it's overall a nice car, definately unique. Lots of interior lights and gadgets! The only part I found not fitting on the outside were the solar panels on the hatch....that to me was too hillbilly. All in all nice car and alot of hard work, thumbs up from me (:

Re: Camaro/Trans Am/Knight Rider

Can't hate on it(except maybe the dash, not a KITT fan. Sorry KITT owners :P) Other than the hood, looks like decent work. If I had the solar panels I'd probably have to flush mount them, so it looks like silver stripes that do more than look pretty. Shoulda dropped the 305 and put a blower on something more worthy but that's up to him.

Not my style, but I don't hate it.

Re: Camaro/Trans Am/Knight Rider

I like my Corvette tail lights, and my after market notch back. I don't have a bunch of Chrome. Not yet anyway. I do like what he did to HIS 3rd gen. How ever he did take it in a bunch of different directions. I can defiantly say he put a lot of work in to HIS car.
