Re: Firebird with camaro front end

Re: Firebird with camaro front end

Seen it quite a bit, both ways also. Its nasty, the wheel arches don't match between the camaro and birds.
You'll loose a lil bit of aero with the camaro headlights and front end tho.

Agreed. Front end looks heavy and wide" with GFX and nothing on the rest of the car. May look better on a TransAm, not that I'm for doing this. Still...look like a clean car, possibly a good chance that it was done correctly. Not just thrown on there after they hit something with the original front end.

Re: Firebird with camaro front end

That Craigslist ad won't stay active forever, so I re-hosted the pictures of that fugly-*** abomination of a car to post directly here for future references... and a good laugh.

Re: Firebird with camaro front end

There are much better solutions to pop up headlights than that. That looks awful... The unique styles of the Firebird and Camaro just do not mix. Oil and water.
