Camaro Hoodscoop/Front Facia Concept

I continue to evolve this body kit concept. I have decided that I am going to build this myself. I know how. And its gonna be pain/fun. Feedback?

Original Concept: http://www.michiganmall.com/temporary/mine.jpg

Front View: http://www.michiganmall.com/temporar...-hoodscoop.jpg

Remember, this is just Photoshop concept work. It does not exist.

Long live the F body!

Personally, I think that does not look good at all.

But, what ever floats your boat.

Too big? Too wide? Too marshmellow like? Gimme some feedback, not just "bad". Talk to me. I have no ego on this thing. I'm in search of the "oohhh god yes". Hit me! I'll revise and repost until I have soiled the pant of all camaro drivers.

I actually kinda like those concepts. The wing on the first one is kinda cool, its something new. I like the front facia on the 2nd pic bc its completely flat. The ones now are wavy and have little holes in them.

Yes, too big overall. That's pretty mucha ll I can say...

I'm sure there are a lot of guys who like it, but I think it is definetely too big. The scoop, that is.

In the first picture, the rear spoiler seems definetely to bee too big. Looks too long and wide.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree the hood scoop looks to big and I don't really like the spoiler but keep going, i'm sure you'll come up with something awesome. I have an idea about a spoiler, I love how the '92 highrise spoiler looks, is it possible to some how make one that would look good on 4th gens????? Keep those brain juices flowing!

I really appreciate the comments. I'll keep playin' and posting new concepts. I know not one solution can make everyone happy, since its subjective. But I want a design that works and has mass appeal.

A couple more things I thought of while looking at my car. The windshield wiper hodgepodge will keep the scoop from snuggin' up closer to the windshield, and therefore I think would look funny.

Also, the flat front facia could possibly hinder air flow to the radiator (and airflow is already minimal). So, relocation of the fog lamps, and a stainless steel mesh grill may be required to compensate/improve cooling.

And thank you again guys. I'll be back

Airflow is a problem with the Wings West W-type kit thats why they include a bigger air damn

Personally i think it looks like the batmobile right now....try to trim down the wing in the back and the hood in the front is too big,like an '90 mustang cobra. Try toning it down alittle in the front.
aight...lata

It looks OK...but I don't think it goes along with the lines, flow and curves of the car. But thats just me...

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't go "eewww" if I saw it.
