The kit would consist of front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and side scoops (no fenders or side door panels). The only things that would be replaced would be the bumpers and I don’t see how you could modify them to look like anything special. After thinking about it I don’t think it would be that much work to put on like I said before. The side scoops will fit into the crevice where the side molding is and go down to meet the side skirt that has the second scoop. It could be installed and look nice as is or to make it look smoother you could mold the kit to the car. (As with all kits) Also a main point to think about is that the kit looks like it could go for $800-$1,000 but I would only start the price at around $500-$600 depending on how much it cost to make it. With that in mind what do think about it now?

but stick-on side scoops are going to look tacky in my opinion. If I went with something like that design I would want the side scoops to be fully functional to cool the rear brakes. This would mean modifying the doors and integrating side scoops..

that's one serious looking kit
two thumbs up for your design man
one thing though. all the incoming air will ether seriously slow you down or just rip the whole plastic off. so you'll defiantly will have to consider where to put all the air (in use or not). since their nothing much you can do with it in the back, perhaps rear brake cooling.
but for something like this I'd change my Vizage in a blink of an eye

Nice Drawings but it looks a little too Ricey for me. Scoops and intakes that don't serve any purpose but to creat drag are totally all show with no go.
Can you guys come up with a kit taht looks like this Camaro, this is exactly what I would get to go with my C5R 427.
If you build a Camaro that looked like this I would totally buy it, It's 100% Camaro and 0% Rice.

My thoughts exactly.... I wouldn't give a DAYUM how much this kit were to cost, I'd do whatever I needed to come up with the money. That's the best looking 4th gen I've ever seen. I say if someone can make it, then MAKE IT!!!!!!!!

All right guys I finally finished a design. This one may be a little elaborate for some people's taste but I think it would turn a lot of heads and even break a few necks. I'm not trying to sell the kits on the board without being a paying advertiser (and plus I haven't even taken exact measurement to see if it would fix exactly) but do you think this would sell and if so how much do you think it would go for. I know it would be pretty intensive to put it on, to mold all of the pieces on cleanly but I think the kit could look good without the side scoop which would make it as simple as any other kit to put on. Let me know what you think.

) vents and openings all over it, I know a TON of guys who would snap it up in a heartbeat at almost any price you choose.

I modified the side scoops to be not so much ferarri and a little more like futuristic gills off the 69 camaro... I dont know if you'll like it as my photoshop skills are limited but let me know what you think... I also threw one in there with a little bit of a raised fender in the rear... I dont know if any of these designs could be made, but I think they look cool

I knew from the begining that my design would be a little over-the-top for some people, but I Like it. After i get mine done I will take everyone's ideas into consideration and hopfully produce a few.
