I seen this a while ago in super chevy mag, and seen it discussed on camarov6 too, but i really like it and would like to try it on my camaro, but i think it would be a lot of work....just open for dicussion- what parts needed...

I tried talking to the guy, but he said his friend did it for him??!!!!


Do you think it would look good on my camaro, but i think i wouldn't have the black on it, but silver instead

ooohhhh that looks fancy

That'd be mr Whistler's car. He also has a targa top, and he also created a custom front bumper that he's since sold to someone on LS1Tech.com. He started something on the boards a long time ago to see if people were interested in mass producing the C5 tailpanel, but alas from what I've heard he got overwhelmed and couldn't fulfill the promises and a lot of people basically talked so much smack that he stopped going around the boards... this is what I've heard atleast. Overall, if you are decent with fiberglassing and such, it shouldn't be that hard to do. Just a tailpanel, maybe taillight covers to use as reference of the taillights, and then lots of fiberglass, bondo, and sandpaper. Oh, and the C5 taillights too, of course.


Edit: I just looked at that cardomain site more, haha Keith is the guy who bought Whistler's front bumper..

[greenmachine]

[93formulalt1]

Neither do I. . . . . I think I would rather have some that are so unique, that nobody else has them! lol

[silver6_maro]

if i didnt have so many other things i want to do to my car right now, i would tihnk about it, because it looks sweet and i would like to try it...

It would make any camaro stand out above the others

We'll see about next year i guess, or summertime......

Yeah that car with the front bumper is probably the best camaro I've even seen IMO, love that car.

[ZeeVert]

I like the taillights. That's the best alternative to original I've seen.... except maybe Export tails.

i know how to fiberglass its really not that hard to do. i kinda like it. idk abou those lights tho. but i love that bumber and the mod he did w/ the headlights.

06camarodude- u spent $50 on fiberglass resin wtf how much did you get b/c unless it was a hell of a lot idk.

I got a gallon of resin, and fiberglass mat too. My dad bought it from the painter's supply store in Southfield a couple of years ago.
