that kits been posted here before. I think it looks like a rip off of the sleen mustangs, but fit to a camaro. I really dont like it, although i like the idea of the exhaust that exits through the rear fender, i dont like it being round, i think it should be rectangular, like my brothers (96 i think) bonniville. or a 60's buick GS.

I love the 91/92 Camaro gfx from the factory! That kit above is too curvy for the car. I don't think it flows very well.

Ask yourself this:
Why did 95% of us buy thirdgens? It sure as hell wasn't the engines that GM put in them.

Most of us like the way the body looks. Many of the body modifications that you'll see on TGO are to make it look better or more smooth (shaved door handles, shaved antenna, flush door handles, etc).

Putting a body kit on one of these cars is a crime.

I want to order one dawg. That is tight. You think it will fit onto the bottom of the GFX on my Trans Am??? That would be sweet. I could even bolt that spoiler onto my existing aerowing! Then I would have enough downforce to hold the rear end down at my normal cruising speeds of 200+ MPH...

Its just mesh behind a Z28 or IROC grille.. I'm pretty sure I paid about 40 bucks for mine, and the mesh will run you no more than $5. Not worth $125...

I dunno how you guys can say bodykits are a crime if our cars come with bodykits stock?? I think a more truthfull statement would be "the current selections of 3rd gen bodykits are all worthless" or something to that effect.
