Kind of looks like the Camaro turbo body kit from American Sports Car Design... think I've also seen it called the wide body kit.



Did a little searching and found this https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...threadid=67124

I also see the wide body kit, but will it fit 82-84 trans am? Why can't the kit fit another year?

That body kit on the firebird doen't look that well integrated near the front spoiler, and I don't dig much the Corvette turbo style hood.

I remember a company called DGP (Diversified Glass Products) in Pontiac, MI that offered a nice kit like this. They also made some parts for fieros, but I never heard of the company again. Anyone knows it they changed their name, went out of business or what?

I saw same DGP body kit pic in an add from another company called Product Guild Inc. in Davisburg, MI, but seems like it no longer exists.

Anyone up there in MI can get some info on this?

I posted a thread about that hood, I scanned that pic out of my pontiac mag, good to see some people are interested .

Anyways Motion still makes it, they do not have a website, but im sure you can look up the phone no. somewhere online. I have no idea on price so your gonna hev to call them. While your finding out ask them how much the hood is for me .

I had that very same hood, from Motion, on my old 82 T/A and it fit horribly. Simply pu, it was the worst fit I have ever seen. It looked nice in the picture, but it didn't fit for ****. It is built really good, that is for sure though, no cheap thin *** glass here. I lost the hood at 55 due to a defective latch on my car and all it did was break a couple corners off. It cartwheeled end over end and that was all it did to it. The hinge attachment pionts are freaking strong too, it actually ripped the hinges in half on my car, not out of the hood like you'd think. It cost me like $500 delivered about 9 or 10 years ago.

just a word of warning. Way back when I was in the fiberglass search stage, I came across this kit and a review for it. A lot of people said that it didn't fit as well as it should and it would crack a lot and generally PITA.

Don't remember what company it was, so it could have been just a bad builder, but the picture looked identical to the one posted here.

For those who already chose to go with this, good luck guys, hope you won't find the issues I've just mentioned.
