Warning: I do not want to see any negative comments about thirdgens in this post.

If you have a positive post fine, if not don't type it!

I think it's the nicest looking body kit made for a Camaro(even though you can't recognize it) that I've seen in a very long time. I wouldn't do it to mine though.

That is one of the single coolest things i've ever seen done to a car. Looks awesome. Whether or not it would look the same in person, I dont know... only thing I don't like is that since it's a wide body kit, you'll either have to get insanely offset wheels (which look cheesey) wait a sec... then the 2.5" 4th gen wheel adapters would look nice.. hrmmm... bet that kit costs a pretty penny tho.... oh well. OH, and chuck. haha. love the warning at the begginning.... if for some reason you need a little code written for the site.. Ie: IP ban on "rice" .... just let me know

This was pointed out a long time ago, new members always bring it up. Most of us have seen it, why I don't like the outside, i do like the interior kit they sell. Its rather interesting.

Just kidding with you man. If you want to find out what a lot of the mebers think about it, do a search. It's been discussed pretty thoroughly.

That front end looks "Camaro" enough to be an agreeable fith Gen front end. That front end on a Corvette body would be a killer Fith Gen Camaro.

I think it looks pretty sweet. Some people that have seen them up close say they look like a cheap quality. If I had the money and an extra third-gen, I'd deffinietly devote it to this kit. Looks cool.

HI GUYS!!! I'M NEW HERE...hehe. I hope I can find good help here.

I could see why some people may not like it. I personally would not spend the money for this, I do admit that it looks pretty sharp.

I have to say despite what alot of other people are probably thinking that the body kit looks dam good and If I had a spare thirdgen and $6,000-$7,000 I'd definitly buy that kit and do it. It sure as hell isn't rice..That's more of a thirdgen goes euro styling but is still a true performer. Hell wouldn't it be funny to pull up next to a guy in a porsche and see the look on his face after seeing that thing..haha And he'd feel pretty stupid after you told him it only cost you $6,000 to have a high performance euro style auto.

After many many posts on the Evolozione kit... It seems to be a consensus that it is a kit car. The process of going from camaro to "farrari" involves removing gigantic chunks here and there etc. Very few original body panels are exposed. I hear the total conversion runs around $14k for the thrifty.

Still not a fan of these nasty offset wheels... wheel adapters would help some.. but not sure what wheels you could actually put on it to match the car... any one have any info on whether the vette brakes 2.5" wheel adapters are quality or not? I did custom wheels at tire shop for a year or so, and anything with spaces/adapters vibrated like a ****, just wondering about these..

When I was stationed in Germany, I had a set of Centerlines Wheels and the front ones had way too much backspacing. I came back to Tampa on vacation and went to Vette Brakes and Products in St. Petersburg and bought me a set of 2.5" wheel spacers for the front wheels. I've traveled down the German autobahn at very high speeds with these spacers and didn't have a problem with vibration because I had the tires balanced with the spacers mounted on them.

Apparently his post got deleted because of something he said, so he decided to follow One Eyed Jack's lead and whine and cry about his car and the forum like a two year old.
