don't know of the manufacturer, but it looks like the testerosa body kit found on just about anything and everything that came out of the 80's. It looks kinda like a sized down 88 ferrari.

That second picture the tailights look like second gen camaro lights. The black one looks good but its hard to tell since the pic is kinda of dark and hides some of the body lines.

It fits either the Camaro or Firebird, right?

What does it include? How hard is it to install? In the pic with the red one, it looks factory, so I'm guessing it isn't easy

I think it's just a bolt on. They have them for camero too, but it doesn't look as good as the firebird in my opinion.

You can pick 'em up at JCwhitney for around $550.00 plus shipping, just use the search and type in "Predator"... also, here's another link to a site that sells 'em

I hate the colors... but the skill in that job is really amazing. Look how the bird flows into the car with the colors... really cool!

J.C. used to sell it, I believe only Classic Industries still distributes it, I couldnt find it through their catalog last time, it may or may not be there.
