Wheels are not that impressive and those large caves on both sides of the lower front end area do nothing for me. Like the original concept front end better.

that and the back dual chrome exhaust are lookin good!


I think those are definitely the 'vert wheels...........and I'm with you -- I'm really like the front spolier and bumper......the fog-light surround looks like all the Holden cars -- and I'm liking that too...........SS anyone???

That's the original Bumblebee with a new front clip. The easiest way to tell the concept from a production(for me) is to look at the b-pillar(or front edge of the rear quarter glass). The concept has it angled forward inline with the top of the door opening where the production model sits more vertical, with the shape of the window resembling that of a first-gen camaro.

They look like 5 spoke wheel covers that were freshly polished to me.

I like the hood, but not to sure about the front end yet.

my friends what we are witnessing right now could be the super, extremely,outrageously fast high performance camaro that KILLS GT500s:w00t:
IN OTHER WORDS TIME TO SLAUGHTER SOME SNAKES AND PONIES:paddle:

ponycrusher21 06-12-2008 12:18 PM

Rims???
 
Don't like the rims....Bumblebee's gone ghetto.:thumbdown:
Love the hood!:w00t:
Like the front bumper.:cool:
Where's mine already!!!:happyanim:

GTAHVIT 06-12-2008 12:48 PM

I like the hood. Wheels and front valance is :barf:

Mr. Wyndham 06-12-2008 12:50 PM

I think it's funny that everyone thinks the rims are ghetto/ricer/whatever...:D
They bear a strong resemblance to the Concept Convertibles rims!

GTAHVIT 06-12-2008 01:12 PM

I've never been a fan of painted rims... (and I feel real dumb for thinking they were clear) I know I know, put the crack pipe down...

But the front valance is too european for me. It's American Muscle not a ferrari. fwiw

radz28 06-12-2008 01:56 PM

Yeah, that spoiler is just waiting to grab a curb. If it's functional, I can live with it, just please keep it high and tight!

I'm with you 100%. Oversized wheels don't belong on muscle cars. I want the tires to have some meat on them and not looking like a stretched rubber band.

The SMS Challenger has a big lip spoiler and giant black fog light openings as well. Could this be a SMS car?

:coolpics: I love the front fascia on this body kit. Those rims are glorious. A flashy color + black details is always a good combo in my book. Does this color look a little more orangish than the last bumblebee or is it just me? :coolpics:

I could not agree more. I think the wheels look fantastic. The wheel and tire combo fill the wheel well perfectly and really set off the stance and overall presence of the car.

You effing ROCK, GM :chevy:

:word: +1 on the black rims -1 on disliking chrome rims

camarokidz28 06-12-2008 03:12 PM

the front spilter looks good I sort of like the new rims if they were a bit smaler but is that a new car or is that the same car from the the first movie but I thank that that the reason for the spilter and the new wheels it could be the romerd saleen camaro that Steve saleen talked about back in 2006 what do yall thank (and is it me or is the spoiler rear deck spoiler a littel bit bigger)

TheMadHatter99 06-12-2008 03:26 PM

I too am not big on these rims, but I'm finding the new front fascia and hood oddly appealing. I like the more aggressive look a lot.

+2!

warbird81 06-12-2008 03:48 PM

i think that they were tring to imitate the photoshoped front end but forgot to make it fit the car better. it seems last minute. i would have been fine with the old front end and some new wheels. the front facia looks cookie cutter. they should have spent more time on it. something about the arangement screws me up. i like the photoshop version better:paddle:

madmike 06-12-2008 03:57 PM

I LIKE BB'S NEW LOOK!!!

tmckee13 06-12-2008 04:14 PM

I thinks they look sweet and a lot like the concept vert rims

Camaro Lives On 06-12-2008 04:27 PM

Lovin the front bumper, the painted vert style wheels add to the awesome look in my book. I still think GM may be trying to hint at accessory design ideas, and that hood looks very familiar. Just like the scoop in the original vert renderings

I for one don't care for anything other than the rims (though I would expect a super advanced alien robot to at least have calipers at some point). ;)
