I agree, the body kit does make the car look pretty damn ugly, but the interior is actually pretty nice looking, at least from the picture anyways. Kind of classy/luxurious looking.

I kind of like it, it looks different. This Camaro guy prefers it to the firebird.

The rear end isn't too bad. I still don't like the fender flairs, side skirts, or front end. But the slightly rounded look isn't bad. Different.

kinda like the race style gas cap, but thats about it.

Anyone know were I could get a gas cap setup like that? Might look good on a stock third gen.

I don't think it's too bad. Love the interior too.

The seller should have left it as an asc convertible, it would have been a nicer car.

IMO the rear end looks bada$$... but the rest of the body styling is kinda shady... if it was more blended and smooth (it just looks sloppy, kind of a shame ) it would be cool... just my two cents..

I like the widebody look, but that one doesn't look right.
Tail lights are cool though.
Reminds me of a Fiero.

It looks bloated... makes me want to hurl. It's not smooth at all as mentioned above. It just looks chunky and style-less
