I think it's horribly tacky and makes the car look like a bloated early 80's can-am racecar reject.

Here is the Firebird version of that same kit. I think its pretty interesting. Probably wouldn't do it to my car but I think its retro looking.

If by "retro" you mean, "I wanted to be a racecar driver but can't afford a real race car because my house needs new tires", then I agree completely.

Hahahahah.
It doenst look half that bad on a camaro, but on the firebird... yuck.
You have to admit though, comapred to Tojan, or Evoluzion. It is defintly the better of the "off the wall" body kits.

I WANT THAT FIREBIRD HOOD!!! I e-mailed them about the hood and they never e-mailed me back. I want that hood and I want to fiberglass a Viper GTS hood scoop. I had a post about it. I think it looked bad ***. But that's just the hood tho. As for everything else....

My explanation is the guy got a 4th gen rear and wanted to keep his 3rd gen wheels. So he modifys the body to make it look better then the tire sticking out.
I usually don't go for body kits, and granted the hood on the camaro is junk (I don't care for the turbo hood scoop), but look at the tires that you could fit under there. I'd like to see someone with those tires have problems with getting hooked up off the line.

Y'know, if it wasn't for the fact that it looks like 200 lbs of Bondo packed onto those fenders, it wouldn't look half bad...
I've always been somewhat of a fan of the widebody kit for the Camaro. But the picture and everything else on that car makes it look like ***. Different hood, rims, and spoiler would be first. Then get rid of the hatch louvers and headlight blackouts. Drop the car an inch or two and I think it would look badass.
