Uh, I was talking about the euro Camaro taillights vs the US taillights ,Not the rs vs the stock!

Show me a photo of the older Camaro's that had tailights like the 2010-2013's, I cannot think of any...

The 69 Camaro didn't have taillights like the 14's! If GM wanted the 14's to have 69 camaro taillights they would've put them on!

show me a camaro that had prelude-esque, wrap around taillights, i cannot think of any...except, of course, the 2014+.



at the end of the day, it's all preference. personally, i hate those taillights because they look like something you'd see on a honda before a camaro/muscle car.

The 14's are just as close to the 69's as the 13's are to the 70-73 models...

I feel sorry for the girl who started this thread

I would be driving a Camaro this very moment if it were not for those taillights(and grill ).


Unfortunately, I am left scavenging through the 2013 left overs and hopefully i'll find something low mileage.

Have you seen the euro taillights? Because maybe you thiink that I'm calling the 14 taillights euro! And I think the 14 taillights go well with the slim more sports car look. It makes the 14 look slimmer! I wanted the muscle car/ pony car look! So we have choices of either a muscle or sport looking camaro now!

The 14 tailights make the Camaro look wider in the rear, not slimmer and the 14 tailights cleans up the backend as well with alot less clutter IMO.....
