Re: whats wrong with this e-bay camaro.



In my opinion, the front end of a stock thirdgen Camaro is one of the best looking out there.

Who in their right mind would think, "Gee, this car would look much better if the front end were stubbier, and it had a huge chrome truck grille in the front."

OMG!!! It looks like that poor Camaro rammed into the back of a Chevy trunk! Isn't that the truck's chrome rear bumper hanging off the front?

Re: whats wrong with this e-bay camaro.

Customization is a funny thing. Whenever you do something drastic like that, you cut your possible buyers down a lot. Honestly I think it looks "ok", but I also prefer the stock front end. As most of us know, when we wrench on our car we gotta do what we think is best and what meets our taste/budget. Good luck finding a buyer with similar taste. If he waits long enough, I bet he will though.

Not my taste at all but i gotta admit...it doesnt look as bad as i thought it would. It looks like he did a pretty good job of blending it in. But the big question is...why? lol

I had hoped that the result of photoshop was to show what it could look like - not to blueprint a physical form!!!

Re: whats wrong with this e-bay camaro.

Honestly, I actually like it. I don't care what any of you think. I think if it were more cleaned up and maybe a different rear and interior it'll look really custom and 1-off...

Re: whats wrong with this e-bay camaro.

IMO its just crap. The overall paint not bad and its nice and clean but Come on can't you see that car just crying for some overhaul back to original state. And i do agree trying to look like a new car its just puke. If i want something like that i would go buy a 5th gen camaro. What an idiot.
