PROTOTYPING NEW 4th GEN 98 - 02 CAMARO BODY KIT

[1DangerousV6]

im only going to say that i have recently come into some industrial supplies and machines..i am going to start working on a prototype for a new 4th gen body kit..its going to be a totally new design constructed from urethane with pattent pending..i am starting out with 98 - 02..which the 93 - 97 guys would still be able to use some of it

i wanted to get some ideas..what would you guys like to see?? (pictures/photoshops would help) ..i have a couple ideas of my own..but who better to get more ideas from than the fbody community?

(construction of a new prototype 98 - 02 grille has already started (pattent pending)..look for it soon ..all i can say is that it will be just as good as the name brand ones out there but will sell for around half the price

in the future i will also be creating other items such as headlight covers, taillight covers, guage pods, etc that will all be quality for a fraction of the prices you see out there now)

so lets see it guys..what do you want??...

I'd like to see a kit that isn't flashy and looks like part of the car. Something that's nice but simple.

Would you be able to look into making a rear seat delete that could hold subwoofers?

I like the look of the factory ground effects and xenon kit. Mabey you can do something similar to that.

maybe you can make a gauge pod housing that will go in one of my bird's vents :)

yeah one of my ideas was kinda of mixing the factory and xenon kits..sort of a toned down xenon kit

Re: PROTOTYPING NEW 4th GEN 98 - 02 CAMARO BODY KIT

Yeah, I always thought that the xenon was a little too big in the front. Mabey if it were a little slimmer like the stock Gfx but still make it thicker like the xenon. It should be connected together in the middle as one peice and in the middle though it wouldn't hang as low. Are you still following me what I'm trying to explain.
Mabey I'll try drawing what I mean and post a picuture sometime. Warning-I'm not that good of a drawer.

I would like something similar to the rk sport style, but not as low to the ground "similar to the way you set up yours". and mabye some nice holes in the front for the airdam and people with ram air ducts.

side skirts should be VERY simple, i think the xenon sides are too much, they just dont flow with the car. As for the rear, something like the wings west rear would be nice. something that makes it look like its meant to have a dual outlet exhaust.

A little sketch I did. Just messing around.

I totally agree with everything you said. If i could peice together a body kit, it would definatly be the xenon front, smooth, simple sides, and a mix between the xenon and WW back. something to make it look like said above, it was meant for duals.

Re: PROTOTYPING NEW 4th GEN 98 - 02 CAMARO BODY KIT

ok..this is what i will be offering..i am starting with just a front section..it will be perfect for (guys like me) people who do not want to spend the time and money on an entire kit..or just dont like the look of an entire kit..but still want the more agressive front end that still matches up to the rest of the car (as far as the hieght of the sides)..it is also going to blend into the rest of the car's front end so it will all look like one piece..



it is basically going to be a hybrid of the xenon and rksport front..the front will look very similar to the rksport front..but the matierial will rise up on the sides to the top of the bumper cover and will rise in the front up to the grille..this will make it a lot smoother and make it look less like two pieces and more like just one..the very front and center is going to have two long slim oval holes..they can either be left as they are or backed with mesh..this will allow air flow to the radiator so you do not have to swap your air dam for one like rksport's (which comes down 2" lower) ..this will save some labor time and you will still have the same clearance under the car that you have now..due to the increase in the amount of material used to make it smooth to the car it will sell for somewhere around $200



prototyping will start in about a week :)



(and no i am not disclosing where i am getting the materials or how much they cost etc.)

ideas are still being worked up for a full kit..but this will require very detailed castings etc so dont expect it any time soon

:tup:
I agree with that, and second it. A rear seat delete would be awesome.

probably..i really only want to focus on one project at a time right now..but anyways..i could probably do it but it would DEFINITELY not come cheap

yeah rear seat delete would be awsome but make it a lighter version
