But then, I'd hafta get new wheels or have my rear ones widened.
Was my background for quite a while also. You'd be better off having yours widened as it's only a few hundred $$ as apposed to the thousands you'll spend on wheels that wide. If you do think about having them widened and actually call a place that does it, let me know what they quote you as i've been thinking about it as well.

I WAS going to check out a local place, in Austin, that advertises it, but not after talking to somebody who has gone there.

I would hafta put my crosslaces back on, and ship 2 of my Snypers off. Not that big of a deal. At least I still have my crosslaces to put on! 2 need tires though, but thats not really a big deal.

Re: Firebird w/Camaro styled fixed headlights

i know this is an old post but i wonder if this would work on a camaro?
i like this better than the one on the grey camaro you always see. i like the race car look. and if i need to use my iroc wheels i can put spacers on. i hink it would look good with a good set of deep dish wheels. or the zo6 motorsport wheels i want. jsut thinkng what i wanna do tome next camaro. i accedently totaled mine..... i know i know

Re: Firebird w/Camaro styled fixed headlights

Ive thought about doing the same thing as you stephen, with the widened camaro quarter panels. Not really sure how good it would look to widen only the rear quarters... But it could turn out looking really good. Guess i would have to see a pic.

Would be like Neils car, except he went straight back, not a "bubble" flare. But I don't see a way to do it to Firebirds, because of the tail lights, short of having gaps between the 3 sections.

Re: Firebird w/Camaro styled fixed headlights

Seeing how most aftermarket body kits for these thirdgens are complete abominations, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that I DIDN'T throw up in my mouth a little when I saw this one. Still not the prettiest thing out there, but I wonder if this project was ever completed, and if pictures of it exist if that's the case. I can actually imagine it looking rather decent when it's done.
