Saw this on the local Craigslist and had to share, not sure I like it, but it's unique as hell http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/4101411145.html

Re: Figured id share this

That... Is... terrible...
I've seen the current POTUS create more attractive things than that!

Looks like Helen Keller got a hold of some tools and made those flares. Reminds me more of Jeep fender flares. Also please put that spoiler back on an SVT Cobra/r!cer where it belongs lol. I know I'm being a little harsh, but the truth hurts.

Re: Figured id share this

I could make it look cool... Gonna take a paint color change, wheels, suspension, different spoiler... Devils advocate here

It not a good looking car, but I would drive this over a lot of other abortions that has been thrown out on CL.

Re: Figured id share this

I like the widebody idea (the fact they are low and wide is what attracted me to 3rd gens in the firstplace) but this attempt could have been executed much better so the fenders didnt look so out of place.

Re: Figured id share this

If you look closely on the front fender, you can see a line for the extra wheel flare. I wonder if it's removable or if the body work was poorly implemented. If They're removable, then it won't take much to get it to a more reasonable ride.

Re: Figured id share this

Interesting.... but "No Thanks"!
I hope he gets his $9000 asking price though. Everytime a 3rd Gen sells for a decent price and some of the bad ones go to the scrap yard, the rest of them become worth just a little bit more.

He could pay me 9k to make it look like a real Camaro again. That's just ugly.

It must be a road course monster with that increased track width all the way around.
