I think it will take getting used to. You redesign both ends of the Camaro and don't touch anything in between, put a flattened back on it and you're left with something that looks out of place to a good number of people. The 2010-13 back treatment looks like the updated version to me. The flat look combined with flat tail lights are reminiscent of a late 90's car from japan, which I won't mention the name of here. Front looks great, exclude the chrome strip though. Not a total fail by any means.

i was thinking the exact same thing. curious if the lowered front fascia alters it enough so it wont fit. i plan on getting more than one hood for my beast, if it ever gets here :(

You would spend money on that when you can buy a ZL1 style Insert from ACS ? To each their own I guess.

I hate the whole new design, front, rear and the hood vent. So glad I have a 2013

I don't even know... Find a 2013 1LE? Order a 2014 1LE?

I'll be looking at these pics all night!
side by side like that... I think it makes the current model look a bit dated.

go for the '14. I like it both front and back. prefer the non-RS over RS model though

The back? There's just no comparison; sorry Chevy design team.

The only thing better are the Recaros; those are seriously nice!
^^^ This. The side-by-side pics--including the ones Tran posted with the ZL1 and 1LE in the same shot--just totally confirm my dislike of the refresh cosmetics. It's not horrible, it's just not :::: :::WANT::: like the current styling is for me.

The "new" rear does not flow right with the "old" front on the zl1. Looks really awkward.

pass..me thinks the V6 is better looking Besides, people asking if it's a new Prelude would get old, real fast. I'll save my $ for the 2016 model, unless GM F'd it up even more

Im glad I got a 2011 ss cuz the only desirable one I see is the ZL1 and I cant afford that. I think this is a step back. Better off sticking with what they had.

The 'modern' taillights work on the upcoming Corvette.

They do not work on the current Camaro.

They look like they have been stuck on.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe its like when the 1LE's initially came out, a few of the pilot cars driving around did not have the splitter installed yet either. The flaring/shaping on the bottom of the new bumper might suggest they killed 2 birds with one stone though, and their wont be a spitter with this design.

Guess we'll see in time.

The new stuff is really growing on me see all the pics on the road. Can't wait to see in person, that will be the real judge.
