iv done it its just as easy as replacing the original pannels but that tutorial forgot to mention that you need a 7th bracket that holds the top of the bumper

I don't see why you guys would want to ditch the aggressive look for the chrysler look, but to each their own

procamaroz28 05-08-2007 08:39 AM

i wouldn't agree w/ you on the lt1 being the aggresive look,
but i did it because the lt1 nose is too stuby and it slants down too hard
and i dont want an ls1 car i love my ltx and how it drives
so i just made my car the best of both worlds new camaro style but still my monster LTx powering it

and almost every one agrees that lsx nose looks much better

I agree. There something that doesn't sit right with me when people swap out their LT1 front clips. There is a line between modding the appearance of your car and transforming your car's appearance, swapping front clips being in the second category. I guess that's what you are going for though, lol.

During the day, I usually think the LS1 nose is better, but at night, I think the LT1 nose looks more agressive and sporty. I often confuse LS1 Camaros for Chryslers at night or at a distance during the day. They share a lot of styling cues. I think you can do more with an LS1 Camaro's appearance though. That's my opinion on 4th gen Camaro front clips.

i wouldn't call it transforming its not that severe of a mod

i like to think of it as renovating or updating

jola 05-08-2007 05:45 PM

Yea I could see that, since they are both the same generation of the same car model. Appearence is all subjective anyways. If you like that front end and the car then I wouldn't want to rain on your parade. I mean I still don't like it, but its a good way of getting everything you like.

procamaroz28 05-08-2007 05:52 PM

true and thanks
i see where your coming from alot other people like the opposite (people w/ ls1 cars that get the lt1 nose) and people that are 100% satisfied w/ the original look of their car
