...did anyone ever find out a definate way of purchasing a BSM kit from Japan?!?

I have not posted on this site for a few years(too busy getting married, having kids, etc...) and have not really done anything to my Camaro for a while.

Sadly, I wrecked the other day (don't get me started about the lady locking up in front of me to miss a squirrel) and tore up the bumper cover and hood.
I need to get back into looking for noses and hoods and the BSM nose was the first thing I thought of.

Anything new I may have missed, or are the kits available now the same ones that were available 5-6 years ago?!?

I'm also thinking that if I'm ever going to get a Sport Back the time is now. Looks like they are still available from RK Sport. Has anyone checked lately?

Looked around the boards a little before I posted, made me realize I kinda missed this place!!

 

What's a BSM nose?

 

Is that the 3rd gen race car thing? Or something else?

Does anyone remember these?!?!?

 

Makes it look like a GTO instead of a Camaro

 

well welcome back !! hope you get the itch again and being on sites all for our cars really will make you love your ride that much!! not really liking that nose at all! but hey if thats what you like roll on! have not heard of that nose but im sure if you do a search you would find it! as far as rk sport not really what you would want i have heard horror stories of how it doesnt fit well or line up at all, try ebay or craigslist. goodluck!

 

Same discussion back then- you loved them or hated them. I had kind of forgotten about them until this happened. I did save a bunch of images back then though. Same with the sport back, I have a bunch of images saved and I still like them on the right car. I have never researched how they fit or anything. Just thinking this may be a good time to do something different to the car instead of just putting back everything like it was.

Here is the outcome of the squirrel incident:

I'm sure there is a supplier in California that could get it for you....... Might try calling/e-mailing some of the aftermarket import car part shops....

Might look here.... http://www.topspeed.gr.jp/index2/index2.htm

 

I stop for squirrels too, but that sucks that that happened.

I've never tried to find that kit, so I don't know where you can get it. I just know it comes from Japan.

 

While the nose definitely has the Pontiac look, I think it isn't too bad. The cars you posted look very clean (washed/waxed), which helps the overall look. I don't particulary care for the side mouldings, but best of luck in your search.

 

i think it gives it a ferrari look. its nuetral with me though.

 

Axeman, sorry about the wreck. I stumbled upon this thread and couldn't help but post my dash cam video of a similar event. FYI, I don't stop.
