looks kinda like what would happen if a pontiac sunfire could reproduce with a camaro

redraif

can't wait to see it! Have been waiting for more pics of your car!

smokefan - I'm talking about the 3" fiberglass trim that goes around the intire beltline of the car where the fiberglass integrates into the steel. If you look at the second pic front the top (the small side shot of the front) the trim stops where the front nose starts. I also don't see it on the back bumper. This looks pretty strange. I prefer the blended-in look, which takes more work, but the beltline trim saves lots of time, and gives it that OEM look. Anyway, where is the missing trim that you got in the kit? Also, it looks like you may be missing the 6"x2" fiberglass hood wedge that blends into the center front tip of the hood. Maybe it's there, and I can't see it. What I would do if I were you, I would spend another $275 on the 4-piece wide body kit like the blue car, and blend the entire thing in. Ofcourse that means a repaint, but it would look really mean. I've never seen a black one done that way yet. BTW, no I don't have any ZR1 taillight kit.

i am going to order the the wide body kit as soon as i get the car running and do some other mods to it. i just had the car painted last year but i am not that happy with it. i was thinking of going with a candy apple red or a reddish/orange color. do you have a picture of what the pieces that come in the kit that i am missing.

Moshe Field

have lots of pics, just found the scanner... waiting for my wife to do it.

u should checkout this rear bumper cover i think it would look better than the one u have

Moshe Field

all I see is a firebird unit which won't fit on a camaro

epikz

go to catalog and click chevy and then u scroll down a bit a click camaro rear bumper cover

I dunno those body kits make our cars look to **** rockety...I like the danko fenders though. Ill probably buy those because i have a 4th gen rear end on my car. I like the wide rear look.

85f-bird

you really on get that "wide rear end look" when you're using the incorrect wheel backspacing....get some 4th gen wheels, and, poor fit is gone...oh by the way, did anyone happen to notice this red "custom" thirdgen on ebay. Was an 82 camaro if memory is correct, red w/ black racing stripes, nice looking paint, chrome irocs, wood trim for the guages, radio, and console, maybe the pass compartment too, and the seats were done in red and black also like the car's stripes....was alright looking, stock engine, and a 4th gen axle. Bad part is that the IROcs were sticking 2 inches out on each side. Couldn't believe the car got all the wya to like 5,200 bux, for an 82 camaro. That's about the same as you'd get for a 4th gen in decent shape now.

Moshe Field

I don't know.. I couldn't even find Chevy on their dropdown list. it's all ****. If it looks anything like the firebird unit, I don't care for it. seems too Boy Racer. I prefer the classy performance look... but then again, I'm 38 years old!

DanTheMan_smlk

wow...my heart sunk when i saw this...

smokefan

dan dont worry about that exhaust cause its gone now and i have two 3" chrome pipes in there now. i agree it was pretty bad

DanTheMan_smlk

hey, thats awesome! I also want to comment on the black paint. It looks so deep and glossy...where did u get that done....and how much? Looks great btw

smokefan

the paint job it cost 400 bucks to get it painted from a place called fender menders here in connecticut. the guy who owns it use to own a macco shop until he was sick of payingall of thoese franchising fees so he started a new company. same quality as macco thou. but on the flip side of it for 400 bucks it looks a hell of alot better than in primer

Moshe Field

Smokefan, BTW, I also noticed in the frontal pic of the black Danko that you don't have the grille trays installed. These fiberglass trays complete the void between the 2 lower central air intakes, and the front and the radiator support. Guys with hi-performance engines complained that without these panels it would overheat. They also make the car look much better since they make it so you can't see the driveway inside the lower gfx. If you need some, I think I have an extra used set sitting around.

Moshe Field

Here is a link to lots of other Danko pictures

I still dont understand why you would want your camaros to look like a pontiac sunfire???? It creative but i guess its just not my type of thing.

Moshe Field

Listen... when I designed it in 91, there was no such thing as a sunfire. In the album your will notice 3 different nose designs. The last one (and only one available) is the one like the blue or yellow car.

JaizRed

The widebody, I like. The bumpers... Not so much. Great idea though. Looks high quality too, so props on that definately.

wow.. I never realized it, but that was as kit I was considering once in the life span of my TG ... glad I didn't

smokefan

one thing about body kits is you either love them or hate them. when i was in high school everyone was either driving a camaro or mustang. i always wanted to stand out so back than i had the ferreri door kit on and the f40 wing. the car stood out from everyone elses ride. now i have this car with the kit and i still get tons of looks. some like it and some dont but you can't win them all.

P.S for any of you nascar fans SMOKE WON SMOKE WON!!!!

novadk13

double post

novadk13

Thats one of the worst looking 3rd gens Im sad to say, If you wanted a r!cer you should have gotten a civic

BTW

smokefan

like i said you either like it or dont. cant please them all

DanTheMan_smlk

i think it looks cool, do u have any more pictures of the finished product?

smokefan

i just got the car running last week so i dont have any pics yet. maybe in a week or so i will post some more

GOY

I'd have to take an axe to your rear bumper cover just to stop you from giving anyone else such a bad idea....

The front is okay, but it would need 300zx headlights to even begin to look right.

Meatwad

I love body kits, the front looks great!

But that rear......ouch.........ouch........just looks like sewer pipe sitting out in the open

I'd move the exhaust to the extreme cornors and use rectangle tips like they use on 4th gens. But to each his own.

smokefan

like is said...cant please them all.

DanTheMan_smlk

u **** me off

smokefan

and here is a pic of the new exhaust

smokefan

i didnt take too many pics cause it rained and the car is really dirty. but its a lot nicer than the old exhaust

redraif

There is nothing wrong with centered exhaust. Saleen and SLP have been doing it for years! Heck so have I. My 4 square centered tips (under plate) did not turn out as well with this last exhaust performance makeover. The mandrel bends interfered with the routing, so they ended up too wide. So I'm going in to 2 retangles centered under the plate. Will see how that looks soon! Just have to get time to get to the shop again! His wks hours are the same as mine!

Smokefan...glad to here its up and running. I like it alot better with the 2 smaller versus the one larger. Can't wait to see more pics of it!

smokefan

thanks redraif. as soon as i get it all cleaned up i will take more pics. just been so busy lately.

robleamy

saleen and slp look good though

TopleZZ candy

I like how if you do anything other than hang a new air freshener almost everyone on here claims ryce WTF people....BE DIFFERENT


if everyone had the same looking camaro there would be nothing special about yours....

personally I like the kit.....the big single port exhaust in the center was a mistake but it looks like lesson learned.....looks sharp and I say if you are pleased with the overall process then everyones opinion is just that......

novadk13

thats what all r!cers say, you should put a big wing on next along with some ugly sticker graffics so you can be different just like all the other r!icers out there? Sorry if he wanted a r!ced out 300Zx then he should have gotten one. Sorry its r!ced end of story, now if that was done to a honda how would it be any different?

TopleZZ candy

Well Im not what YOU would call a rycer......A custom enthusist yes I dont believe a big wing and a body kit MAKES the car but I do believe if done tastefully it could end in a very nice customised car......Take the evoluzion body kit......I think thats the best thing that could have ever happend to a third gen.....lots of fab work blood sweet and tears involved in a process like that.....Then on the othen hand you have red necks that paint a rebel flag on top their car and run straight pipes into glass packs......TO EACH THEIR OWN......thats what seperates yours, mine and everybodys elses cars apart from STOCK....

smokefan

sad part is novadk most likely i would smoke you in the 1/4 anyway. so talk all the crap about it all you want. and i also will turn alot more heads than you would.

SBlackfoot

Stomaches too.

Just kidding. I'm with the "front end looks alright, rear end look like hell" group. Wanting to look different is fine, but that doesn't mean it can't be done with good taste.

smokefan

[QUOTE]Originally posted by SBlackfoot
[B]Stomaches too.

that even made me laught the only thing i dont like is the back also.

novadk13

Dont worry I'll take you on the turns, and beside all the money I saved by not being different I'll be making a killer 383. So you'll still be slower, uglier and cant turn all while getting beat by my nissan pickup

smokefan

who ever said that i wasnt running a stroker already??

slapi01

the exhaust looks great J.. get that tune done and lets go to the track. glad to hear that it's running good.

dan_o_89_rs

like most, i like the front, not crazy bout the rear. i think its those vents on either side of the exhaust. i think it'd look better smooth. and i think the C5 Tips tips would look good, and domestic. but overall it dont look bad i guess.

smokefan

yes the back is the only part that i dont like of the kit. its the vents like alot of people have said. maybe next year when i repaint it i will redo the vents. my main concern is that i get it tuned. at least i beat my friends monte street racing. the car is a constant 12.7 in the 1/4 so i would say that i am low 12's as of now but cant say nothing until i hit the track

anybody have pics ofthe wide body panels

I am running 335's in the back, they are gonna stick out a bit, and I believe that the wide kit would let them tuck. Any thoughts??? Am I right? I am also running 275's on 9.5" rims up front. The rears are 11".

Thx, later

smokefan

im not runing a wide body kit yet but i am running 335's rear and 275's in the front too
