Widebody Camaro "Epic SS" Pics..Every angle covered..Enjoy

[scooter82]

not bad but i agree the rear wheels are a little big...change that and i'd be ALOT happier

[chevyridinghigh]

Cool overall look. Rims are way too big for my liking, it ruins everything else.

[EKG]

Personally, I love the car. And that bowtie is exactly what I am planning on doing to my car once I get it! Good job Epic!!

[CG'sSS]

I love what you did to the engine compartment and interior...but even though it is minimal and correct me if I am wrong but this isn't a SS/RS since it has no HIDs it would add that extra hint of touch to your look....

First of all, while these are not my preference but that does not mean there is anything wrong with them. Someone likes them enough to pay for them then let them go to it.

Second, thin tires are the new sports car look, for any kind of sports car. Try anything different and you will get skewered with such faint praise as "too retro", "not modern enough" and "belongs on a (insert gen 2, 3, 4 here) car" when you ask for comments. Do I think that, from a performance perspective that this is not the right build for it? Yes, but then if I were truly honest with going for pure performance then I would be running a 14" or 15" steel wheel with race slicks.

No, more like a 5'3" girl wearing 8" heels.

My personal choice would be a widebody kit that would allow 21"x12" rear with 375/25-21 tires and 20"x12" front with 315/25-20 tires and have a diffuser in the rear that lowered the profile back down.

But there are probably people who just read this and said "ew!" and are going to flame.

this car is great especially the quarter vent

I dunno why everyone is hating on the rims so much.. yes they are too big for everyday practicality and too big for most peoples tastes (including my own) BUT THE CAR IS GOING TO SEMA!! its not about practicality up there, its about showing off personal talent and imagination. NICE CAR epic!

Okay, this is going to sound funny coming from me, but this is the first hint of anything Camaro-related going to SEMA that I can get even remotely excited about.
Yes, the wheels are freaking ridiculous, out of proportion for the car, and possibly even a safety issue. You knew I was going to say that, and I'll keep saying it so long as people put gigantic, dumbass wheels on a car that's simply not designed to accept them. But let's put that behind us for now.
Doing whatever they did to get seven inches of clearance width out of the Camaro, considering all the issues particular to this car when messing around with the body back there, is a tribute to the kind of right-minded idealism, engineering and materials wisdom, and ability to make things real that this guy and whatever bodyshop (?!) he frequents/owns/has chained in his basement. It's a fantastic thing to have that extra wheel clearance, because when we start building the drivetrain toward the upper end of what it can handle and beyond to whatever people can dream of, that extra 3½-4 inches of rubber is going to be absolutely necessary in the battle to get the car to hook up. And even with as much as I disdain the cartoon wheels themselves, the design is pretty and they're taller in the back than the front, giving the car just a hint of a rake that I haven't seen anyone, suspensionwise or wheelwise, go for yet. This car will look terrific with a big, mean, ass-up rake, and even if making it so will likely destroy its handling, so will a lot of things, and you pick and choose.

Bravo, EpicSS, you brought a grin and a thumbs-up out of the unlikeliest of folks. There is now something worth seeing at SEMA.

[SoloSK71]

BTW - did you make that front bowtie and if so is it a part you will be offering?

Or where I can get one?

Listen to the noob< It's SEMA,

[mrgm]

that has to be the best wide body kit i have seen on a car.

How much? How would one go about installing these?

[KIMBERSSGIRL1]

Wow there's a lot I think is really cool with that car and my hubby Jim says so too!
Loves the wide body and the open vents!!! Great Job!!!

He also thinks the rims are a bit over the top tall for his liking but he would have added a lower ground effects kit to take care of the extra ground height of it to look more lowered and Road Racer-ish.
He loves the Black and Red color of the wheels on a Black car giving it an evilish appearance,Just not as much the style of those wheels.
That Bowtie is exactley what we want as well! Gloss Black and Red!

If he did it,(Exterior) He'd also put on some type of Lower ground effects,Corvette style diffuser with center exhaust. But the painted one still looks nice! Also a taller rear spoiler and BAM! One Bad looking Road racing style Camaro!

But it' sure is a cool looking Modified camaro anyway you look at it!
It sure is different!

[oxidizr]

Nice choice on the exhaust

Let me know if we can help out in any future endeavors.
