Dissapointed in the Tail Lights - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Logan-69-Camaro · 07-16-2009, 10:08 AM

I really like the new 2010 camaro's, almost every aspect except for the tail lights. I think the design looks like a corvette. I personally think they should have gone with the design like on a 67,68,69. The one piece design tail lights on each side not seperate lights like the vette. I am just wanting to know what you guys think about it.

I like the RS ones and love the concept ones

I've actually grown to like the design a lot. I was dissappointed in the entire back-end from the first time I saw photos, but a few days ago I saw a black 2SS/RS on I-5 in Shoreline and was blown out of the water. This car looks great in person, and I think the back-end is perfect when you see it on the road.

I think having the four lights ties the car to the Corvette without making it look *like* the corvette. You can tell that they are sister cars, but this is not a Corvette (and is a little less refined).

I LOVE the tail lights! I LOVE the fact that they look like a Corvette!! To each his own is so true. That's what makes the world go 'round!!

I have seen prolly 20 camaros and, just really upset with the backend of the camaro it just doesnt look like a camaro should in my opinion..

Can some one post a "side by side" picture of RS vs. NON-RS tail lights? I have the RS and haven't noticed any difference between mine and a NON-RS.

What is the diff between rs and non rs. I saw them side by side and couldn't tell much diff. the rs looked alittle darker maybe around the bottom. Not worth the extra If thats.

Really? How bout the Xenon headlights, halo rings, color matched roof ditch moldings and a darker shade of silver on the wheels for $1200 I don't know but I think it's a deal

I thought I read a post on here about factory workers mixing up the rs and non rs tail lights. IF they are that close why don't they just use the same for all.

The 4 taillights appear to be a throwback to the 2nd gen. Camaros. They took cues from both the first and second gen to create the current look.

What about the '68 RS tail lights?

The thread is about tail lights only. I know about the other parts that make up the entire package. I was saying that if they only diff between rs and non rs tail lights is that the rs is alittle darker color on the bottom of the lens than why even change them at all.
