yeah it looks like a strong hit it would reach into the block and the block and the long nose is the safety zone

well i dont mind the styling of the berlinetta, the only difference between mine an a z is the front fender and rear wheel fenders right?

not a huge fan of the front fender look. kinda bulky to me, idk something seems off.

yeah if you didnt want to keep it i would restore it and then sell/trade for a 1st gen that you could fix up or something, that way there is just that many more nice camaros on the road =]

i agree with the Z front end, does anyone know where you can get aftermarket Louvers? or do i have full on switch the front fenders lol it already has a Z28 engine and tranny may as well take the full leap, i found a hood scoop online as well, but i cant fine the Louvers, and whats you opinion on the rear window Louvers? idk if i like them or not lol

I think you should try a wrecking yard to see if you can find a wrecked Z28 and rob the louvers from the fenders. Or go to NPD and order them
