      the front's too swoopy for the rest of the car, the side just looks like a maro, the shaker is damn silly, and the back looks like a transformer....and yet it's still one of the better looking swaps.

      I'm not sure if that's a compliment or a commentary on the competition, so take it as you willl.

      It's definitely different, and I'll readily agree it's not the worst I've seen. The tail lights are funky, but better than the camaro ones IMHO, they're the only part of the new camaros that just has never looked right to me.

      What the hell is up with those tail lights? It would look a million times better if they just did this

      Remember, big engines are for those trying to compensate for something.

      Better than what I've seen so far, but I probably wouldn't buy it.

      That car was made for a movie. It was at autorama doing publicity. The nose really was supposed to look like a beak.

      well if people didn't think the firebird was just a rebadged camaro before, they will think so now.
      these firebird conversions are just plain silly.

      But....it was.

      Actually, the camaro was the firebird's gimp.

      I think the front fascia as far as a modern verision of a '78-'79, works.

      The "shaker" looks more like a cowl induction or ZR1 hood.

      The rear screams 3rd Gen Z28 (with a funky twist).

      As for the side, still looks like a Camaro. Either eiminate the vents entirely or make them look more like the '67-'68 gills.

      I know that, I was referring to the people who still hold on to the myth that there was a big difference between the 2, that whole camaro vs firebird thinking.
      don't really care which came first, doesn't really matter.

      I don't hate it, but I wouldn't buy it. the photochop of the taillights looks better. I do like the wheels.
