Post I was wondering if I could do this....

I noticed a Body kit for an 82 to 84 Camaro over at american sports car, Heres the link

http://www.americansportscar.com/cgi...w.pl?s-125.jpg

(sorry if it didn't work, I'm new at posting links)

I was wondering if it would fit onto my 86 camaro, and about how much work would be involved to actually getting it to fit, and look good.

Any insight would be good, I really want to sauce up my camaro abit, as everyone owns a camaro here, and I hate having 'theres another camaro' camaro, you know ^_^

Thanks in advance for any help

And if anyone has done it, any tips would be good.

Plenty of body work. I think they need to work on it some more the doors don't blend right. I do like the rear wing. I'm not too crazy about the hood I always thought they looked kind of, well, red if you know what I mean. What's wrong with the original aerodynamic shape those big ole fender flares look like they would dirty up the cd a lot, not to mention they look a little 70ish. Sorry, but IMHO I think it ruins some pretty good lines

i have to agree, that body kit would need some work for it to look right, and it is a little old school, and it ruins good lines,


i also think it screams import wannabe, which is VERY VERY WRONG!!!!!!!

just my HONEST opinion, if you don't like it, thats fine, i just told the truth

I thought it was alittle Importish also, I just figured that it would raise the resale value abit, I know that sounds bad, but I really just want to sell the Camaro and get another 91 firebird.... I miss my old one....
The good news is that the local dealership actually got one in after this post, and they might be willing to take the camaro as a down.
So my long term goal of fixing this camaro to sell might be turned into short term today
**Happy**
