Interesting 2011 1st gen throwback... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

98_Camaro · 07-10-2011, 08:38 PM

While perusing eBay, I came across this 2011 2SS, and since I hadn't seen it posted here before, I thought I'd share it. Sorry if it's a repost!
One pic:

Rear end:

The rest of the pictures can be found on the auction page.

Thoughts:
I'm on the fence about it. I like the idea, and the working headlight covers are definitely cool, but it still feels a little lackluster. The fascia seems off, and, IMO, the rest of the car feels a little ignored. Mostly the rear, really. I wouldn't have minded seeing tail lenses reminiscent of the '69 Camaro.

StangKiller-SS · 07-12-2011, 09:53 PM

Poor car.

2010 SSRS · 07-12-2011, 09:54 PM

I Like It, My Favorite Retro Job Iv seen Yet,Not Sure I Would Do It to mine But I like It More Then the Chrome Bumper ones,The Rims would look Cool If They Had a Bigger Lip Imo

Those look like Walmart hub cap versions of rally wheels. the head lights are cool ,but that's where it ends for me. I would rather the the current car the way it is or a real 69.

Can someone tell what the two round things are on each side of the reverse lights. I've seen them on some of Gen 5's and others that don't have them.

Buh-arf!

Back-up sensors for parking system.

The spoiler isn't any worse than a lot of the current aftermarket offerings. In fact, it's actually pretty nice. The front end, not so much. I do like the wheels, though.

SUX2BU · 07-13-2011, 08:38 AM

I think I kind of like it. It is 100x better done that these:

hardestysa · 07-13-2011, 08:39 AM

back spoiler and headlight covers are the only things I like. just my 2 cents.
