I think it looks awesome! I would rather have this done in the fashion it is with the GTO name on the side than some of the abortions that people do to their Camaros and keep the name.

I would bet that most people who don't like it never knew what a GTO Judge was.

I have been to their shop and they do some nice work. But I honestly don't care much for the GTO. The trans ams look better in my opinion but the Camaro will always look best

Tough crowd here. I think the body work and styling look pretty good. The "6T9" and "goat" emblems are awful. The price is a bit out of control for what you get. I think I'd rather have one of their trans ams with T tops! I think it's funny that they are using actual Pontiac emblems but apparently can't get away with using GTO emblems. GTO is kind of a generic term used on different cars.

I had inquired about the trans-am conversion for my camaro on the kit that you can do yourself, but to have a custom shop that installs them professionally and was advertising them. Anyways the Kit was average, OK but not awesome...so I proceeded to ask the gentleman what happens to the parts that come off of my car ? like the headrests, front and rear bumpers and anything else? the guy laughs and says I keep them of course, that giving them back would be stupid. He also states that he owns a collision center out of his shop and so that is where the additional parts would go. Now if the Kit cost 5-6k (I checked) and he's charging 10-15k depending on my options that he told me, "WHY IN THE HELL WOULD I WANT TO GIVE HIM MY PARTS FROM MY CAR ???" especially for free ??? I mean I am paying full price for his parts "right" or am I being unreasonable ? any thoughts?

You own a Dusk Edition, don't mess with it. You won't be happy when you're done and you have cheap parts hanging on your car with scotch tape.

I know exactly what a Judge was. A friend of mine in high school had one. I rode in it several times. I never really cared for it and like this "clone" even less.

Can't we just let Pontiac rest in peace?

Please burn all of these Camaro conversions with the fire of 1000 suns.

I know what a Judge was and that thing is a disgrace to the Judge name. It's an effing bastardized Camaro with some terrible body kit. That's it.
