There are tons of Import kit pics on Brents and Pauls page.
So post away. What do you want to see in a Camaro.

TREAD SO KEEP IT CIVILIZED! NO RICE COMMENTS PLEASE! ***

this is a sugestion
Well I can't really draw but here is a written description for someone to get an idea.
I know just like everyone on this board that the head lights on the 4 gen LT1...well aren’t that great. they also don’t look or really fit the car that great. kind of an old school looking design on a new car. This is why allot of us have put on head light covers and used driving lights in place of stock headlights. One alternative is the 98+ front end conversion which some have done but i feel that it makes the LT1 look like something its not so it isn't an option for me and i am sure others. Then there is the headlight covers....they look good form a few feet away
...ok like 20 feet away 
but when u get close they just never fit right. What I am looking for is really a whole housing that would fit into the black part or a new front end with new headlights. Nothing too crazy thought I like the way the front of my car looks minus the headlights

Project RS,
A fullbody kit would be great. I would like to a see one designed for 93-97 Camaros that is designed similar to the Callaway C8 Camaro body kit but but with a larger single grill upfront or have two grills/intakes similar to ones on the Ferrari Modena. Side vents like the ones on the Callaway C8 kit could be kept on a new body kit in the same places but instead multiple small vents you could make it single larger but tasteful vent.
I really must stress that the full body kit be done tasteful without looking over done and make the Camaro look more upscale and exotic. Keep it American looking without trying to make the Camaro look like a wanna-be/kit-car trying to be a Vette or a Viper. Please dont make it look like a Veilside Supra kit.
Check it out @ http://www.callawaycars.com/Camaro/camaro_body.htm

I know this is probably not what you are looking for, but...
I have a 98 and hate the direction GM went with the grille on my car.
They had the right idea by improving the headlights and sculpting the hood, but the grille and fogs are terrible.
I have been toying with the idea of plastic welding the headlight buckets onto an LT1 nose. The grille and fogs are just so much more aggressive and 'right' looking on that nose.
If you save the area around the headlights you can keep the LS1 hood. I think that would look great and I would buy one for my 98.
Like I said, it's probably a little out of the scope you were looking for. I will probably end up making it one day. I just thought I would throw that out while the subject was up.
Thanks
Dave

I'm not sure if this was covered already, but what years for the Camaros are they going to produce the kit for? Also, any idea how much something like this would set us back? This sounds like a really cool idea!

Some sort of inserts for the projector lights like they have for Jetta or Focus. Something tasteful in destine though.

It's Wings West so I don't have high hopes that whatever they make will not be Civic-ish (didn't say rice! - oops...) but here goes anyway. Make a front piece for 98+ that's similar to Whistler's car!!

Also a back piece that has an integrated place for exhaust tips a la Trans Ams would be nice (that would fit dual-dual 3.5in Corsa tips).

I would say, use the 1970 RS camaro and the new 4 door SS show car as reference. If it has those nasty importish exagerated scoops everywhere NOBODY will buy it. It needs to draw on the heritage of past Camaros, be very aggressive without being tacky looking. Clean lines, big grill etc.
