I'm amazed someone pulled that off! They get an "A" for effort that's for sure. It doesn't look bad either.

Re: not bad at all... 3rd/5th gen hybrid

Definitely A for effort and execution but I feel like the front end rear are too "soft" and don't flow with the hard rigid lines of the middle of the car

Re: not bad at all... 3rd/5th gen hybrid

It looks...swolen..to me. Like a camaro with a sinus infection or cold or something. Idk, I guess good on the one who built it for pulling it off, but then again, eh, it's just not for me. Also I bet he/she spent more than 9500 pulling that off, talk about a loss.

Re: not bad at all... 3rd/5th gen hybrid

Personally, I think the worst part of it is a ugly hood.

Re: not bad at all... 3rd/5th gen hybrid

Funny thing happned when I forwarded these pics to my car buddys around the country.

About 1/3 of them commented (to paraphrase) ....'After all of that fine work, why would they ever leave that custom Camaro out in the snow.' ?

Agreed. I say it's a Photoshop most likely. IF it is real someone spent many many hours and thousands of dollars on this. Look at the obvious stuff, our hatch lid is flat at the back above the bumper and this is curved. The feneders are not Thirdgen and would becustom as the front and rear bumper would be also. Hood is also a custom.

Why would somebody put a photoshopped car on Craigslist?

The hatch is flat. They used a filler panel and a spoiler to transition to the curve.

If you zoom in on the pictures, they don't appear to be altered. Shadowing and reflection from the ground seems consistent throughout.

Oh yeah. The original post was of a Craigslist ad, but I saved the pictures of it to my hard drive and restored them later after the ad was taken down

Re: not bad at all... 3rd/5th gen hybrid

I guess it looks kind of cool. Though I am not a 5th gen (well zeta body) camaro's, the car looks really cool. And I think the rear view mirrors are 4th gen, but I could be wrong.

Re: not bad at all... 3rd/5th gen hybrid

On one hand I want say it's real, but then who would leave it in the snow?

On the other hand, I want to says it's photo-shopped, but who would Photoshop all that snow and icicles into the picture

LOL I am confused
