I think it's neat. Anyone think a 1st gen nose would look good on a thirdgen?

would not do it to a 1st gen or 3rd gen. But who ever did it they did a good job. Someone that don't know about cars would think it came like that.

if that was a real yenko, they would be losing a **** load of money, just to do that conversion to the front..... im always a fan of mutants, i would never buy one, but i like to see how they would look and let others waste money on creating them

As bad as it would still look, if he moved that nose back about 8", it would be a major improvement. The worst thing about that whole monstrocity is that the nose is just way too far out front. He took a car that had the front end between the fenders, and put a nose on that's designed to be in front of the fenders. The two just don't work, and the result is a nose that sticks out WAY too far.

I second that, did you notice in the description it says the nose is a bolt on and it actually has the original hood on it.

I do think a 1st gen nose look better on a 3rd gen, still not sure. I may photochop it and see how that works.
He did a good job though, he derves credit for the work at least.

I agree it doesn't look right at all, but since he took the time to do that why not shorten the nose some.
I saw a 1st gen Camaro SS today light blue, black vinly top. The first thought that is awesome, the second thought was this thing we are talking about, gave me a shiver.:P
You don't perfect, perfection, and that is kind of what happened here.
