this is my car , mine came from the factory with the zc8 rpo number which is a factory cow catcher, you could only get this package if you were a hick that lived in new york and had three tractors, this was a very rare package only 6 of them were equiped like this. It was a brush guard adapted from a truck that the factory made to fit a thirdgen. I had to draw what it looked like cause the pervious owner got into an accident and wrecked the front of the car.

no, i've not seen one for 3rd gens, but i've not looked for one either.. if your really set on getting one, i'm sure you could have a shop make or change one to fit

The General Lee is the only car I've ever seen with one.
Is someone thinking of pianting their ThirdGen orange?

RichSousie: we're kidding. no one makes a push guard for a Camaro/Firebird because, well... if you need a push guard... you probably need a truck to go with it. That's why they're only made for trucks and Jeeps. And police cruisers. OK, and 69 Chargers, but that's it.

ok, i have a cow catcher on my pathfinder, i will take it off and see what kind of mods need to be done to make it fit the camaro.......
ok i tested it out, first modification necessary. take a 1/2" breaker bar with a 1 1/4" socket on it, and smack yourself upside the head with it. it may take a tries to get it just right, so you won't ever think of doing that again.
ok, i'm sorry, i know it's your car and you should do whatever you want to it, but if you do this, you WILL become the first ever member at tgo to ever get banned strictly based on how your car looks

it is an undercover police cruiser and after smasing up the front during high speed pursuits a couple of times (had to perform a pit manuver) i am getting sick of fixing it so if i put a push bar on the damage wont be as bad

It's not going to be very undercover with a push bar on it though.

note to anyone who uses there camaro on the force the stickers on the crown vics that say use overdrive during high speed pursuit. they are there for a reason i was chasing down a mitsubishi 300gt vr4 and dropped it into third because he was pulling away caught up to him about a mile later but blew the tranny. so always use overdrive during a high speed pursuit.

you can outrun an intercepter, but you can't outrun the radio
ohhh, and mr. police officer, if you could NOT click on the link to my website and NOT view my videos, that would be great
I remeber back in teh day a DPS camaro lived across the street from me, and it did not have any front end protection.....perhaps because they figured noone would try a pit with a camaro. I would just recommend keeping on the person and calling for a intercepter to do the pit so you don't have to mess up the third gen. Speaking of, how do you still have a third gen police car, i thought they were all retired in lou of the 4th gens.

All i have to say is that it would be a painful hoodslide if you had an IROC hood.

your probably better off smashing your front end up, least it provides some cushion.. hooking a push bar up to the flimsy frame of a 3rd gen would probably get you in worse shape
