They were alright...not great. I didn't like the Firebreather so much as some of the other Firebird conversions there. The C5-to-'62 Vette was interesting..

I'm trying not to like it. But since I think the nose Chevy puts on the new Camaro is really "heavy handed" and chunky looking this might just be an improvement.

I think it looks better than stock

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

It's not great but OK. They should have used a 68 nose. 69 Camaros do not have round fenderwells.

and I will add ANYTHING looks better than that abortion of a grille they come with from the factory. Hell, they could have bolted a Superbird nose on it and improved the nose 10 fold. That factory Escalade-ish grill sucks.

I dont care for the roundness of the hood at the header panel

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

I think the comment about it looking like a Javelin is well founded. In my opinion nothing can help the look of the newest Camaro, including this kit. Lots of money for something that is so lame.

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

my dad and I looking for plow trucks at car dealerships (that is dumb as it gets)

anyway, we spotted the new camaro, it was an upper styled version with two tone.. I found it not only cartoonically misproportioned, the front end can't even go thru heavy rain by the sight of the plastic alone.

(Don't challenge my maine torture- don't even bother)


that kit is fantastic... except for the cost. maybe cut back on components, just get the strong front end?

ironically.. a little old lady drove a cream puffed 69 with a 327 (?) right into the late 90s local...daily driver her husband left her. Amazing story. She did not quite know what legend she was driving around.

that new camaro is not even gonna come close to stories like that. :

the kit might help bring back a bit of real.

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

Anyone remember the company a few years back that would take a 1st gen & a 4th gen and meld them together? You would get the style and body of the 1st gen with the power train, ride/handling and interior of the 4th gen. I thought those were kinda neat ....

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

Saw two examples of these kits on PT this year. I'll admit it, I liked them, but I am in love with the real 69 RS front end so I'm biased. No way I'd spend $7k on the kit though on top of the new car price. I'm thinking for that $47k I could get a 69 title and vin tag, Dynacorn body and build the rest from scratch, then get 100 times the looks of the retrofitted car.

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

for 47k you could buy a nice real 69 and not have to do much.

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

Lame. I started out 'undecided' on the appearance of these cars. And my disposition hasn't improved...the more I see them the less I like. Chunky and heavy looking, should be svelte but aren't. In the appearance department I rate the design a GM 'fail'. And this pseudo-69 grill mod doesn't help.

But lots of folks love 'em and they're selling like crazy. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that.

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

That is so lame...the more I look at it the lamer it gets. I can't wait for someone to put a 57 chevy front end on an Impala....That will be sweet!!!

I know we all like our old cars, but can't we stop living in the past and enjoy the now too?

Re: SEMA 2010 Question: Is this Cool or Lame?

I'm not a camaro guy, but I think that one pictured looks pretty good. I didn't care much for the RS one I saw.
