the first one is so totally awful. Looks like a harwood hood as it sticks out about 2 inches farther then its supposed to 
and the aftermarket front bumper cover doesnt even come close to suiting the lines of the car.

The first one, with different paint and rims, really would be quite interesting. I can envision a truly remarkable car if you tone down that ridiculously over the top paint and gaudy rims.
I always admire unique custom work, whatever the resu - HEY! He's parked in a handicapped space, and diagonally no less! Gives a whole new definition to the word "jerk"!

I wasn't to crazy about the first one.. but the second one.. that is interesting.. it has character. I actually like the front end.. using the headlights of the car as the eyes. it has a funny evil grin to it.. I personally would never do anything link that to my car.. 85_ZED28 good eye for pointing that out.. I had to take a second look at that my self.. interesting.. But over all If there had to be a winner for creativity It would go to the second one..

The first one,the style/ front bumper/mags just dont belong on it ..
The second one.. It looks like a camaro in a clown suit.

Barf on both of them though the 2nd one took some creativity to do. As for what 85_ZED28 pointed out,it looks like he grafted the rear window and roof section from a 1st gen camaro in place of the hatch glass.

Neither one looks good to me..
That second one seems to have the complete roof, windows and parts of the rear quarters of a first gen. If he had not screwed up the front etc., it could've been a cool concept. For some reason it reminds me of that dog-car from Dumb & Dumber...LOL
Here is a pic I snapped this summer of second gen with parts of the front fenders and rear quarters of a first gen. Not sure how perfectly well it flows with the lines (at least up front), but the craftmanship was spotless!

The first one is absolutely terrible. The second one is comicle but i still like it...I had a slight obsession with batman as a kid so that might have something to do with it. I really like that TA tho.

EDIT: I thought that second one was a Chevy Monza, from the quarter windows, but on second look, I was wrong. It is a Camaro. Yikes.

I can't see how you guys think the 1st one is worse than the 2nd one. The 1st car could be fixed with a new front bumper & wheels. The only thing that would fix the 2nd one is a car crusher. Yuck.

i find it strangely ironic that the first one was parked in a handicap parking spot... does anyone else find that fitting?
i think the car and handicap parking goes nicely together....

both horrible. I like how you can see the stock bumper cover through the "speed grille" mesh in the first pic.
The second looks like some kinda custom concept from the 80's. It has character.
