Body kits? Where to find them? Anyone know?

I want to know if there is a body kit out there. And I dont mean the trim, I mean the whole front end along with the rest of the body. Please dont post fxdesigns, they have the right idea, just on the wrong track.

So if anyone makes something like the blitz design PLEASE POST. If there is interesting trim post that too. If you dont have a site address post a pic anyway. I have seen camaro pics way back in the day and they looked sweet. But now I cannot find them. Any INFO please post. Thanks -Steve

Well everything I have found so far has sucked. But the pics I seen a long time ago were sweet, they were blitz style. Anyone agree that, that would be kick @$$ and unique?


Never heard of a Danko style. Post some pics and give a price...

Thanks -Steve

What do you need? I goto a u-pull-it every other weekend, which has a few camaros. Let me know, I could help you out.

By the way I got my front trim from the JYard, not in very good condition but better than what I had. And it was only 8 bux!!!!

So let me know if your serious.....

Reminds me of a ferrari. Ive never seen that before, do you have any pics of the front and back? Wouldnt look so bad if the chrome fender trim was taken off.

ya all my friends call it a wanna-be ferrari. thats the only pic i have of it right now but ill take some tomorrow. ive been planning on taking off the chrome fenders and then one day i did and turns out that when they put them on they drilled through the body so if i take them off now theres gonna be 3 holes above each wheel. so when i get enough money im gonna take them off and get some body work done and get it repainted. but ya ill have those pics for you tomorrow

The body kit doesnt look great, but it doesnt look horrible. It just looks different. I wouldnt do it tho. If i wanted my bird to be a ferrari, i would get a fiero. The work is already done for you on that one.

Thats dumb for someome to drill the chrome fenders on tho. Not that they drilled holes to make it say on, the fact that they put them on in the first place.

body kits are hit or miss with people. when i first bought my car i bought it cause it looked different. now that i have been on this board for awhile and i see many guys here that have nice looking clean stock bodies it makes me want to ditch the body kit for the stock look. so that is this years winter project

Best body kit yet... Looks better with that cowl. The only problem is that it really doesn't seem to match the rest of the car.

Thanks for the post JAE, that kit looks pretty good except they let the nose stick out a little to far. Wish they had better pics of the styker.

As for that Firebird- Id say to your pals to **** off, cuz that looks better than a ferrari! Get rid of that crome fender thingy! I don't think its all that common cuz Ive never seen it. All in all very nice work!

Camaroguy18: That is the craziest thing I have ever seen! Its a whole kit car, but not a replica - but based off lambo! And it looks damn good! $8000 could buy my car twice lol!

Jae: I have to disagree with the Venice, although it does look kick @$$, it also looks to *****! Sniper looks hot rod - smooth - stylish - and pissed

crazyryceman: Im really starting to like that FB! But you gotta get rid of those crome thingies!
