WOW... Certinally not to knock the car, but I don't think it looks ANYTHING like a 360 spyder...

360's are practically my dream car, completely and utterly amazing... but no, this car doesn't even come remotely close

I know you said almost, but still... I don't think its fair to even say that, heheh

I said it and I'll say it here, too! That car is badass, and it's obvious that alot of blood, sweat and tears went into creating it.

Nice job!

Not that you would EVER sell it, but he(ZBLK) is not lying. He will buy it. He is about as serious as you could possibly imagine.

I'd be interested in one of those hoods, though, myself!

I made the roof myself, it cost about $500 in materials.

It secures to the car using the T-top side latches, just like stock except 1 piece.

I have a mold, I can make you a roof if you decide to go this route.

Thanks for the compliments, wait for the pics- if you decide to go ahead with it, I'll be glad to be of any assistance!

OMFG!!!

That is not only the BEST looking Camaro I've ever seen, thats one of the best damn cars I've seen PERIOD. The only car I'd choose over that one is a 2002 360 Modena. I'll take you up on your offer for The roof, I understand you have to make a profit, too. You can post your price here or shoot me a PM.

Edit: I forgot to mention I have a Trans AM, do you think its possible with a T/A? Please say yes, I'm tired of the Camaro getting all of the Appearance mods and the Firebird being left in the dust.

For that matter: Do you think a Targa Top would even LOOK cool on a Firebird?

Hey Chris, I think it looks like an Eclipse. Maybe you should just put the stock nose back on.

That is the sweetest ls1 ever!

I would definetly be interested a targa top kit or something like that as long as it is not much harder than a standard ttop conversion.

JeffK- The roof attaches with the factory t-top sides. IT's not going anywhere. I'll take some more pictures this coming weekend, hopefully with a better camera.

White 30th- Stock lights, just all red ones.

ZBLK- Bonspeed Intense, www.got20s.com talk -to Jared They've got a whole line of cool lightweight billets available in offsets for these cars. These 20s were 5 lbs a piece lighter than the 18" Z06's they replaced.

Johnny- The nose is custom-hacked by myself, Mark(5LITREEATER)and Bobby(bad86z28) it's cut in half , the grill is stretched down 2 inches, turn signals relocated, Z06 brake ducts and lower bumper sides... lots of grinding and plastic welding!!

I'll make a page showing how to smoke out your headlights like I did to mine also.

how wide are the wheels???

This is the same car I started the conversion on. I just got mod crazy and ended up dismantling the whole thing and color changing it along with a slew of other apperance stuff.

The wheels are 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear.
255.35.20 BFG g-force front and 285.30.20 BFG rear.
