my car is now in the body shop. Fixing the smash and at the same time doing this to my car. I hope it turns out nice. Here is a photoshop mock up of what they are doing.

Well see I've always loved domestics..yet I like the looks of imports also. So my ways of thinking are to mix the two together. TO have a domestic with torque, power, rwd, etc. and to mix it with the looks of a import. To create an all around car.

That's a pretty clean package, but I don't like it. Your putting a lot of money into making your car look like every other family car, soccer mom pos on the road

Hey man, don't worry about people that bag on it. It's different and I think it looks cool. Are you planning on converting more than just the front? That's a 91? 92? Just wondering how you plan on fitting in the front gfx. Are you gonna tie in the originals at the bottom of the fascia? Good luck with the project!

HAHA!!! I'm just playing guys haha...I dont have the money to do that type of mod. **** that would cost way to much. BUt I am going to get the car fixed next week. The smash will finnally be gone. In the future I will probably do this mod though. O_o haha...soon after the smash fix a touring wing is going on. my suspension is good enough for me at the moment. SO from now on its all for show. Wing, rims, mufflers, interior, etc.

i know you can drag a thirdgen in Virtual Drag Racing, a lot of sites have that, i play for www.camaro.com

Since they have upgraded software you have to pay 10 bucks for 500 races, but its fun (you get 25 races free at first)

just if you do play here is something i would say, when i started i had the choice of buying an 87 IROC for $7000 or an 72 Vette for $4000, which do you think I bought? man i love thirdgen's but a Vette is a Vette...

I'm all about original, but the headlights look kinda 4th gen-ish. It's not for me, but I'd like to see a 98-02 4th gen- headlight swap. ...on a 3rd gen...it might look cool!

One of the Need for Speeds has the 3rd gen, I think it is version III.

And ... there are some excellent imports and some will cut a pretty decent quarter mile, too. For instance, would anyone on this board turn down a free Porsche? I didn't think so
