You know, for being people who have to see what they're doing, some of these fabricators sure are blind.

Yes and yes !

This one has potential. Get rid of the awful suicide doors, the neon/LED lighting, the rear window louver, and a few select stickers, then 'finish' the paint job (gloss black) and I could see this thing looking like a factory job.

Ugly .

A Camaro is a CAMARO. Not a damn Pontiac.. why can't people get that through their heads and stop with these hideous conversions??

It's okay to move on in life....you can give up the mullet, Pontiac, Burt Reynolds, t-tops, realllly bad interiors..embrace the new era. Together we can do it.

Man you completely missed my car on all your coverage's. :(

Z Boss · 11-05-2012, 04:14 PM

The "trash can" conversions have just a few subtle ideas I like but man can we please get over this fascination with these cars on the Camaro5 website? My trans am buddies used to outrun, outhandle and outbrake me and my Z28 in high school (79 t\a's and 80 Z28 models, respectively) but didn't sell enough to keep pontiac alive in the long run. I guess if I was passionate enough about the t\a's I would get a conversion car but the black Z T\A conversion car my dealer showed me was overpriced at $18K over an SS sticker. The old guy who bought it doesn't even keep it clean - but to each his\her own!! Ramble On!!
