i personaly think flynlow should put this on his car it. he has the new style drivetrain to back up the looks. it looks like a ferrari its kinda crazy thinking its a thirdgen.



body kit

 

Too bad the dash is 900 dollars. It's fairly neat.

I wonder how long it'll be "all new"

wow I must say that's actually pretty cool. I've never seen a thirdgen bodykit/alteration that out there that I ever liked, but that's awesome. You could get a clean thirdgen for 1500$, by that kit, and you'd have an unbelievably custom looking street machine for about $10,000. Doesn't sound half bad

 

kit has been out for some time. only problem is that the body parts have to be bonded to the original pieces so could look cheap if done wrong, also the kit was desiged to use their 11" wheels in the rear which are way expensive and not very attractive

 

You can get it for $790 if you purchase a kit with it

 

I dont like it and thats final now go to your room.

 

pimpest thing ive ever seen that will draw massive attention

 

Forget the whole kit.......

GIVE ME THOSE DOORS..........:hail:

It looks really cool, however it's bit excessive for my tastes, although having a fiberglass body would be cool........

 

NO thanks man i would kill somone if i say a poor 3rd gen mistreated wit one of those kits on yesterday i saw a 3rd gen wit a huge *** **** spoiler i wanted to go nuts

 

Wow, MoroteZ28, your reply was just captivating. Not only was it a message that spoke volumes about your personality (mentality), it was so well written and versed with the upmost correctness.

The Evoluzione kit has been around for a while and has been posted before. The Evoluzione II is a bit nicer, but it seems for a lot more money little has changed. It's cool though that you can buy the door kit or dash kit seperately if you wanted either in a third gen. The dash is poorly done if you ask me, but considering they tried to maintain the 3rd gen gauges I guess it's 'ok'. An Evo II with a 4th gen dash would be quite an animal. What I don't get is that it's such a love/hate thing with this kit - I think it's a well crafted kit that uses a highly abundant platform (3rd gen) that is capable of handling quite well with many upgrades available. Even if some butt nutt invested 20k or so into a project like this, a car could easily be built that would outperform a car 3 or 4 times the cost, and it would be unique; priceless.

 

I've wanted one of those kits since the first time I saw it. I couldnt believe that such a nice looking kit was made for the 3rd gen F-body platform (which I already loved). I dont really look at it as a bodykit, but more of a kit car that uses a 3rd gen as a donor. To me thats a huge plus because there is a huge aftermarket for our platform, and I've already been into 3rd gens for a while. I'm not the kind of guy that buys new cars, I'd rather take that $xx ammount of money and build something custom. To me the Evo II kit is the extreme example of custom, so thats why I like it so much. I think with the right wheels, the right stance, the right paint, and the right interior it would look much much better than the pics you see on these websites. Then all thats left is backing up the look (which I have a plan for). I remember trying to save up money years ago when the first version was out, ended up using that money for something else instead (place to live). Then right when the money was gone, the kit showed up on Ebay for cheap (less than 1/2 price). I couldnt believe it. Well that was years ago, and though I still would like to do one of those someday, the time never seems to be right. Hopefully that will change in about a year when I move, but we'll see. I still have a lot of work to do on my 91 Z (which will not be the donor car if this ever happened).

 

I used to like them until I saw one in person. It looked cheap and cheesy. Plus I can only imagine how many squeaks and creaks you will get from attaching all that crap to the car. Nevermind all the extra weight...

 

why not just buy an import? i think if you have a thirdgen....keep it a thirdgen...

 

Flynlow

I agree, you need those doors! That would look insane.

Its not a bad kit but needs to be perfectly assembled to get the look right.

 

I'd like to see pic's of this going together. The pics they show are real nice, I just can't see a camaro under there anywhere... Of course if I wanted the look of an upscale expensive Import, I certainly wouldn't have got a Classy, American made Camaro. :rockon:

 

That's kinda funny, the a-pillar/windshield/sidewindow/ttop section screams thirdgen to me. Maybe it's all the trips to the junkyard.


-Bud

 

the best part about them making this kit is that they have finaly choosen a kit for a car that actualy has the power to back them up. sure all the kits they make for fieros are kool but there only 2.8 engines. this one could have endless options.

 

**** the body kit, give me the intrcior console! that thing is the shizzle.

To bad it's cheaper to put a 4th gen int. your car.

 

It reminds me of the Fiero body kits. I actualy do like the body kits that go on the Fiero. Now that kit would be awsome with the doors that open up like on the daloren.

 

I own a fiero, if i ever did get a body kit id put in an LS1, which for about 900 dollars in converstion parts i could fit it in with no problem. So you can fit power in a fiero. A 3800 series V6 outta a 4th gen camaro gits right in with minor mods.

 

that kit is no where near new that kits was out before I got my car so pre 2000 they used to advertise it in chevy high performance a couple years ago

 

it's cool- I just don't understand why a "Chevy" guy would want it. I can see if you wanted a Ferrari or something that'd be aight but I wouldn't do it to my American muscle. And even if I did want a car like that I think I'd just buy an older one. By the time you spend ten grand on the car, kit, and interior, then add an engine that'll back it up, then add any paint,etc, plus all the time you'll need to invest.... just doesn't make much sense.

 

Amen.

 

wonder if you have to weld the trunk shut?

 

Everyone wants their cars to be a Ferrari....I hate em! I'd drive one for sure, but to own one?

 

i dont think i could ever do that to a thirdgen...


if i were to spend that money on a thirdgen, I'd do it the way flyinlow already did.. modded LS1 ^_^

 

There cool, but look at the price tag..imagine all the mods you could do to your car....

I think they are dumb

 

Lol I think point of kit is to have something unique and exotic looking after mods are done.

The kit has been out since 99, although the evo 2 came out like 2 years ago. I like the look of them. I would only do it if I had more than 600 hp and dipping near into the 11s in 1/4 mile. One thing I would really like from that kit is the scissor doors.

 

Of course, if you were running pretty close to 11s, then put the body on, you wouldn't be near 11s anymore. Look at how much wind resistance and weight that thing must add,

 

its more aero dynamic and you take off heavy steel to put on fiberglass and plastic.the hood and the hatch being off take a great amount of weight off alone. i dont think it would realy change you that much. its definatly not a kit for everyone. if i could get one i would have that kit and also a regular thirdgen so that way i could enjoy both.kinda like a compromise.

 

Can the kit really give your car a "unique" look if they're mass produced? You're Camaro won't look unique; it will look like every other car with that kit...

 

"its more aero dynamic and you take off heavy steel to put on fiberglass and plastic.the hood and the hatch being off take a great amount of weight off alone."

I think you may have missed my first post. almost none of the camaro body panels a re removed from the car, only the bumpers come off, the body of the evo are bonded to the original panels. I looked in to this kit for quite some time when it came out as just the evo I the hatch and the heavy hood remain, just with fiberglass panels bonded to them. you will be adding weight.

 

YUCK, Where are the Stock 3rd gens I feel lonely

 

You guys are looking at this from the perspective of someone driving a car that hasn't been modded...


Would your views of the kit change if you have already dropped $20,000 into your engine and can run 12's?

 

nope, with that kid of money id make more improvements, possibly air brush paint, but why add plastic to a car thst is already hot, why make your AMERICAN hot rod look exotic?

 

For spending $20K on the motor and only running 12's, I would be pretty disapointed if you ask me.

It looks a little too much like a Toyota in the front for my own personal taste. I also think the rear is kind of funny looking... like it just doesnt fit with the rest. Thats really mutalating a car that already looks good to me. Its like buying a different car all together and one might as well just buy a different car instead of going through all that. Id rather have a 4th gen instead of that. IMHO.

 

If I could afford it I would build a car up just for that kit. Honestly, it looks really nice, the styling is there. And its like nothing else on the roads right now. I think I'd have to have a custom dash designed though. Lots of brushed aluminum and the like.

 

You dont weld the trunk closed, it still works, just opens differently. As for the kit itself, it replaces the front fenders, front clip, and hood with fiberglass parts. You need to modify parts of the body to fit this kit. It is not bolt on by any means. On the doors, and in the rear, the kit does add onto the original body, and yes this adds weight. But considering what the kit is made out of, not much of a gain. If you do a search you'll find a lot of disagreements about this kit as far as weight. I think it looks good enough that its worth it. Just do a little weight reduction in other parts of the car to offset any gain. I remember back when the original Evo I still had a webpage they listed the total converted car weight as 2880 pounds. But who knows right? I do agree that this kit is not for your average "muscle car" kind of guy. Its a shame that everyone compares it to Imports, I think it looks more European with some GT flavor. But its understandable since most Imports go for that European GT look. Going for that look is a personal preferance so there really is no right or wrong answer. I also agree that this kit is for people that plan to dump a load of money into their ride (aka alot of mods). Just having this kit on a stock 3rd gen (like the demo car) would be lame. You need the full package and thats gonna cost alot of $$, possibly even as much as a new car. But then again it all comes down to preferance. Do you want to go buy some mass produced car or do you want to build something crazy? True this kit is massed produced, but guarantee there are not that many of these things running around (when compared to cars at dealers). I think it would be fun to have a this kit car and a crazy F/I SBC setup, 6 speed, 4th gen interior, slammed stance, cherry paint, huge deep dish wheels ... go beat up on some unsuspecting exotics. People would think they know what it is, but then when it passes they wont know what to think. Was that a Ferrari? What was that sound? Who knows? Hahahahaha

 

Your right, people would do double takes and wonder what the heck was that. gotta love that feeling. I say 6 speed and no less than 500 hp to back up the look, LS1 would be great. Borla or corsa vette exhaust to get that more exotic sound. fit and finish must be #1 priority.

if I had two cars, one would be my 89 Iroc and the other would be that car.

 

Honestly, how can you people like this thing? I just dont see it. What am I seriously missing? I must have left my taste with demestics and muscle cars somewhere. Sorry.

If you ask me, 500hp wouldnt back up the looks, it would get you away from getting your *** kicked when you tell them its a Camaro. IMHO

 

i absolutly love that kit. ive been following it for a while (the first post said wow look at this car what is it? i immediatly knew it was a thirdgen ) there has been a evo 1 and this evo II kit and this one just has a few little details different. this seriously looks like an italian super car, and none of us can argue against the fact the italians know how to do cars, but with the heart of a great american legend. granetd it completly changes the car but its basically a complete kit car using a camaro/firebird platform. of course done quickly or cheaply it will look like crap but man done right that thing would be the sweetest car in my city i know and probaly in most of yours too.

my z wont be the donor but another 91-92 rs will be!! i will have that car sometime in my life. sure it kinda looks like an import but then again not really. more supercar (ferrari looks than anything else)

 

If you're gonna glue fiberglass and a big wing to your car then why don't you just buy a Honda?

 

I think some people are missing the point of this kit. This kit is not designed to enhance the looks of a thirdgen. It is designed to make it look like a completely different car. And you have to agree, they do that very well. From the front or back its unrecognisable, and the profile only shows a hint of the thirdgen lines. It looks to be a completely different car.

Body kits that we associate with the stereo typical civic ***** alter the body a bit, but essentially it IS a civic, and is easily recognisable as such. The Evo kit is different.

 

I agree.

It might work awsome on a thirdgen that has body damage that can not be fixed in a way it would cover it up and the same time give the car a whole new stance.

Just think if you got pulled over and the cop sees on the registratin camaro.

 

Just think if people quit being crybabies over 3rdgens being used as a platform for a kit car.
The Evolutionize is not a body kit, it is a kit car using the f-body for it's base. Just like a Feiro has been hashed into 600 different type kit cars. What is so hard to understand about it ?

Aside from being dime-a-dozen p.o.s. cars... not everyone holds them with such high regards as mainly, people who frequent this board.

If my old sc camaro could talk (though it's probably paperclips in an office somewhere by now), I'm sure it would have been happier being revived as a nice kit car rather than have every worthwhile part stripped from it, the hell beat out of it with a sledgehammer, and then dragged (literally) onto a flatbed and hauled to the scrapmetal yard.

It's a kit car (Evolutionize)
It uses a 3rdgen for it's rwd platform (since it's either a caprice, truck or f-body for your rwd selection from GM.. obviously a vette isn't a economical platform).
Get over it.

 

LOL wonder what a cop would say? You may get pulled over just for the hell of it cuz he wants to know what it is.

Yeah its a kit car. As in new car from old one. Old chassis, new body. If done right, that car can have as much as 100 grand into it or more with motor, chassis, exhaust, wheels tires, paint and interior done to it, if your willing to spend the money to be different. Build your own exotic. You want ferrari like looks but cant get a ferrari or exotic, then this is a alternative kit car way out. No reason to clone whats already out their like lambo kits, ac cobra kits, and others, just a whole new style car. Much like the K1 styling Attack, but its a 4banger I think.

 

I think it could be done (with 600+hp) for under $35k

 

I'd do it if I had the money. Do it in hugger orange or something crazy like that.

 

It could be done well for 30 grand or so or possibly 20 grand. There's no limit to what you can do with a kit car. Rare fine grade leather interior, custom candy paint or whatever, billet wheels, all kinds of stuff.

 

one problem, I looked into this during December, they had 3 left at that time and had discontinued it. If I remember correctly, the last one (one in the photos) was sold complete just a little bit ago. Its gone forever.
