I only like it if done right, which in my opinion is doing something with the doors like in the following camaro pic. The ASCD kit is the same as the one in the firebird pic below it and the "sunken" in doors just don't look great. Also you need wider wheels or spacers to push the wheels outward to fill in the new extended fenders and quarters. Sorry the pics are so crappy but they are scanned from a photocopied photograph.





and for kicks a similar, but unavailable version




P.S. Shouldn't your sig say 83 Z-28 not 38?

Anyone know if they sell the quarters seperate... i love the back,but hate the fenders. Were those doors custom, or does somebody make door skins like that?

I think Motion sells the quarters separately, but the door skins (on the camaro above) are no longer available. Motion's info can be found about half way down the following link. Give'em a call. If you are talking about the quarters on the firebird in that bottom picture, they are no longer available either. They were from a company called RPM Designs.
