I found this thirdgen with the Evoluzone kit...
It was on gr8ride.com.

1989 IROC camaro 350 heavily modified with a K-1 Evoluzione body kit. Car will be painted Corvette Torch Red. For more info on this conversion, see my web sight. Just click on Evoluzione build page. http://www.mikescustomcobraparts.net
Theres a bunch of pics on the site, some don't work but many do. I still don't really like it, but I thought someone here might find the site useful cause he talks about how he did it and what parts gave him trouble. Hopefully this helps someone.

I have mixed feelings about how it looks, I like some aspects of the styling, they remind me of a Ferrari, where other aspects remind me of a Honda, (like the front grill).
Personally, I thought about doing something similar to firebirds, but my idea would use a firebird, and only change the hood, front & rear facias and the tailight assembly.
The above picture is too radical for me.

I don't care for it much either. I DO like the way the back end looks, but still, I would rather leave my Camaro the way it is. I didn't post this to start a war, I posted it cause the site could behelpful to people considering the kit.

From that picture, it looks like he did a good job with it. But pictures can hide so many things.. I would really like to see some more pictures of the Evoluzione kit on cars, which the Evoluzione team did not put together.
***Update

STATS:
Build time to date: Apprx 240 Hrs
Total cost to date: $16,375.00

I personally like the kit.
If I had the cash, I'd get it.
Don't get me wrong, I love the look of the normal Camaro and Firebirds, but that kit just looks soo cool.
I'd do that to my car after I get my 3rd Gen Camaro Convertible.

I also agree with scauffiel and Scott_92RS. It really is a kit car. Nothing different than the many kit cars that choose to use a fox body mustang chassis as the base for it. Personally, I like and respect kit cars. People that put in the work to create something that is either unavailable or just unique is cool. I'd love to build a Shelby AC Cobra kit car with a big block.

notice the black cat, it has to be bad luck.
(in front of the bumper)
anyways, no one complains about the ferarri/fieros. so why complain about just another kit car.
i do like the styling. it has an aggressive stance and look. and will hold more tire under the rear for more traction. good deal.

I think the car on the manufacturer's website looks pretty cool and especially in the videos but looking and what he's gone through(VIA the link http://www.mikescustomcobraparts.net/ ) I don't think it's worth the money or the pain in the butt to do it. The sad part is he's spent $16,000 so far and isn't finished yet. Sorry it's not for me but I'm cool with the idea of converting a ragged out,body parts missing f-body.

Good looking, and should look even better with paint. I would stick to my camaro body, because I love the look it has now, but that is a good looking style, I like it, and if I had an extra camaro and the cash I would do it in a second.

Well I hate to admit it but I considered this at one time too. I even bought thier assembly vidio. Let me tell you.... to begin with this car looks real good when its all one color. The pic doesn't do it any justice. With that being said I don't like the way this kit is installed. These guys make butchers look good. I almost died when they started hacking the f-body up. I would not even consider hacking a car up this bad to install a kit. They have thier reasons though, for the do-it-yourselfer in the shed out back. I would try it but come up with a cleaner way to modify the donor car. Just to let you know what I'm talking about they take a sawsall or cut-off wheel and slice up the rear quarters and then bash them in with a sledge hammer to make room. Then your supposed to pop-rivit the pieces in the wheel well. The way i see it the quarters and the radiator support will rust off in about one and a half years.

Personally, it looks like a 3000GT... the spoiler does go well with it. I think its better to butcher a car and modify it's body drastically than to buy another car... thats just less waste and I don't like waste. I don't find anything wrong with it since you use the same chassis and most of the drivetrain remains (correct me if I'm wrong). I would still call it an F-body since that is the name given to the chassis and not the body... I would have kept the pop-up headlights if I were you... but whatever floats your boat.

Okay, I have never spoken anything bad about anyone on the boards and don't wish to, but un4givin89, please delete your post. I accidently hit the link and you know what it did. Not only is it cruel, if someone is trying to get some work done while surfing the boards they will definitely not be happy. Please avoid any future "accidents" like that. Keep your links to yourself please. Thanks.

Alright, back to topic. KarpT/A took care of the problem. And we won't have any more problems. Will we...
As for the Evoluzone. I think it's pretty cool. I thought about doing it briefly (with a different donor car, not mine), but I prefer the Fiero conversions. A light two seater convertible with a super charged V-6 that I built myself just seems a bit cooler.

i put alot of thought into building that kit and i came up with a total price about 25-30 thousand. I figured i could have the car done by fall 2003 if i saved everything ( excluded school, car etc expenses). and after about a month or so of research i found it not to be worth my while. The newest the car could be would be a 92 with all new engine, transmission, suspension etc. i would rather spend that money on a new 2003 car that i wouldnt have trouble with down the road. Has any one put any thought into what would happen if u crashed? could u buy replacement parts or would you have to spend another 7000 on a whole new kit. thats just my opinion

Damnit man! Did you even read the other posts near the top of this topic? No on takes a camaro and puts this kit on it and calls it a Camaro!!!! Its a KIT CAR, not a body kit. I repeat, a KIT CAR. Everyone needs to stop arguing about this saying "its rice", or "who would do that to a camaro, they are already cool enough". The fact of the matter is this: whoever buys that kit has no intention of driving a camaro, they want something differnet, that not many others have. They go out, buy a broke-*** camaro with rusted body panels, blown engine, torn up interior, then totally redo the whole thing so it is what they want. And... if the car is so "*****", why havent I seen another japanese car that looks like that? Looks more European to me.

Have you seen a body kit that comes with all that before? Me neither... A body kit has fender flares, agressive nose, and a spoler, maybe some ground effects. Most of the time you can still tell what the car is even with a body kit. This a kit car, period.

Fine, I guess you win

But may I suggest you take a look at the following website:
http://www.kitcars.com/
Notice how a lot of companys use Mustangs, Fieros, Jeeps, and Volkswagons to put their "Body Kits" on, and also notice how lots of them look nothing like the original car, especially the Fiero's.

I'm with Scott on this. A body kit doesn't come with all that and you can tell what the car used to be even with the body kit. No one who sees that on the street is gonna think "well there goes a sweet Camaro" because you can't tell it was a Camaro. It also fits Firebirds I believe. If you saw one on a bird and one on a Camaro, would you be able to tell which was which? Also, I don't think it looks "*****" at all. It looks very European.
