this is his car below
this is a pic i got from an old kobel link
and this is the link for it
i know some people were looking for it so enjoy. it's definitely better than that one being offered by like wings west which was posted a few days ago, on a red formula with fake trans am look to it but no cut outs for foglights.

The 2nd one (picture) above is a model (toy) firebird.
(just in case no one saw the thread about that a while back on on the boards)

I think it would look pretty good on a bird. But it would need a better hood-spoiler. So a formula would be better. Looks nice, and is a good change from the fac look.

My kit was for a firebird which has a recess on the nose but I changed my nose so I had to do a few mods to make it fit, so if ya want one check it all out first!

Burst everyone's bubble??? You talk as if your opinion is the truth. Well, you own a Camaro so I guess you're an expert on what doesn't look good.
Anyway, for those of us who own Trans Ams and the like, I would say it looks good (everything except for the front nose piece). I like how it gives the cars fenders a sportier look. If I got it though, I would probably go with a GTA style nose clip. That's just my 2 cents.

it is one mans opinion, you all dont need to get defensive about it, if you want my explanation, I actually think it looks fine, but something about the front end makes it look bad, probably those bottom cuts.

OK Guys, most of you must be younger to this board but like I've had atleast over 8 post about this product in the past. I never bout it though cause its too expensive and I would put it on 89 which has that diffrent front end. The 91-92 Front end with the kit looks better but I got two 89's so it wouldn't work with out alot of modding. And for u guys to know: The kit is made by MCK plastics also known as the Kobel kit or also the predator. Its sold by JCW but I would rather buy straight from MCK casue it would be cheaper (around $500). I got plenty of pics of this kit too, and yes they do make it for the Camaros also. I really jsut want to buy the side and rear pices and not the front but you cant buy the parts separetly. And the only dirrence from the 91-92 KIt and the 82-90 is the front end piece. Good luck guys and take search on this board and Type works like Kobel, predator or something like that.

you saved about 20 keystrokes by using words like coz, R and maro etc.. and it made you look like a retard , was it worth it ?
PS: the kit doesn't "***" in 12 pieces either

Sorry jacko.. that's the only picture I have of that car.
The only thing I found was the old image file I had of it that I named '82camaro' when I saved it.. usually I saved pics as the members name but, I found nothing doing a search using that name...

How could someone not know that the second pic was not a toy??? , its obvious that it is
I am un-decided about that kit, I think the front is too Busy however, I kinda like how the rear end looks on Jacko's car...
Thats just me I guess, but my opinion doesn't matter, its your car...

I am still not sure if I like the front end. I may go with a TA front end if I were to buy it. But the rest of the car looks nice. I just wonder what rims would look good with the kit.
