Lingenfelter Retrofit Kit, what do you think?

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/25/l...hout-rs-hidea/

What do you guys think of this kit? Should GM have used a design similar to this for the current or next generation?

at least they are original and did not just throw on a ZL1 bumper like everyone else.I am not crazy about it this is one of those that you will have to see in person and it would look best in black .

Surprised they're saying this is new. I thought Lingenfelter had this kit together for years now.

They had one of those cars on the Power Tour this year.
I did not like it at all. Trying to "graft" a noticeably narrower front grill onto a 5th Gen looks terrible.
It sticks out too far too, but that is due to the smaller grill needing to flow into the wider body. Might be an illusion, but I don't like the look.

Doesn't even appear to align properly on the front end.

No way in hell, especially at that price.

The only thing I do like are the wheels.

I think you guys are being too harsh here. I think it's pretty awesome. The only problem is that the Camaro doesn't need this retrofit because it's already bad-ass. But these guys did it nicely. It's not like the firebird retrofit - now that looks like ass.
