The Camaro that they have on there really looks like crapola.   The Mustang aint so bad though

That looks nice IMO. Makes it even more retro. Not sure what's going on the the door deco though. :P

The chrome is perfect. Really nails it.

The door ziggies suck. Even worse are the bicycle tires and rims.  :hah:

This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

  The bumpers and the grill / taillight trim  :2thumbs:      Interesting that this is actually a chrome film over plastic.   At first glance I thought it was a real chrome bumper setup.

   Not that I really give a crap about new challys/stangs/camaros anyway...  but I'm thinking of what could be done as far as fixing up old stuff with the costs of sending out parts to get chromed being ridiculous as it is.    Obviously not for the purist,  but for a driver or a retromod  that could be real cool.  :icon_smile_cool:

Mustang and Challenger look good-Camaro setup is ugly.

Looks good in the pics, not sure if it would look as good seeing it in real life.

I don't really like it. :shruggy:



You're not alone. The only parts on it that I like are the rocker mouldings & the wheels.

The chrome actually makes it look a little less bloated. I'm surprised at the improvement.

if its a thin film of chrome over plastic, like the vacuum plated parts for my dash, I wonder how well it will hold up to rocks and the elements. :scratchchin:
