Re: Camaro front firebird back

I've seen a couple of them in the junk yard. To each their own I guess. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

You have to change out everything:

fenders
hood
nose
bumper supports

It might end up cheaper for you just going ahead and buying a Camaro. Then you'll have both instead of an illegitimate Frankenstein.

Yeah,not to mention the different wheelwells that are instantly noticed after fender from either car are swapped.

I'm gonna have to agree that I've never seen one that I liked.

heres a link to one I ran across here

Re: Camaro front firebird back

If something generates funny names like "Creature", "Fimaro" or "Transmaro"....it's not a compliment and not the best styling decision
