I'm not sure what that used to be (I wanna say a C5?)...but I think I like it...I think. Man that's odd! LOL

*Mr. Wyndham* · 05-23-2007, 10:16 PM

Um...odd is the best I can come up with as well, it's definitly a heavily modded C5...poor thing, it looks almost alien from the front.

It was once said (and not by me) that "There is no such thing as an Ugly Camaro, some are just more fortunate than others." I guess this same rule applies to the Vette's, too. Huh, who would've known?

Lights aren't bad. I still think GM needs clear lenses w/ red and white LED's in the housing. Let's see...what's the most common car I can thing of w/ LED's like this...maybe like a Lexus? The SUV Lexus could be a good example. They look all clear but light up red or white w/ reverse lights.

No No No - I hate the altezza/clear lens look many vehicles have now, GMC Acadia, Lexus SUV, etc. Save that look for the people that want to buy aftermarket lamps and look like a ricer.

red lamps forever

I see what you mean. I wouldn't mind if the lens of the light is clear w/ red led's....BUT, when the car is started, the lights automatically come on (like daytime running lights) for the rear. They come on red and will go white for backing up.......hold on. If you do that and have the lights running constantly, you might have burned out bulbs more frequently.... Ok, maybe it's not a good idea. Sheezzz...can't make up my mind. How about this...red lens w/ red LEDs. Have a circle of white LEDs not covered by the red lens but are flush mounted w/ the lens. Might look good, might look bad?

I saw a white one of these tonight. Was a couple of 16 year olds driving. Gotta love Burlingame's rich and stuck up kids. Nothing but revving and catcall whistles all the way down the road. Too many rap videos.

I think the Equinox, has clear lenses and red LED's, no? I like 'em!

And Remember, we're talking LED's under real low power - they'll last much longer than you'd expect...but I don't think we'd need daytime running anyways. The Camaro has clear lenses, doesn't it?

No. They have red lenses.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 05-27-2007, 12:10 AM

Ah...well, hmm. That makes choices more difficult, huh...here give me that -
and ah-ha

what do we think of that? Not great, but an idea...

*TAG UR IT* · 05-27-2007, 12:28 PM

Nice chop. I don't know which I like better. If the car was silver, it would have to probably stay all red. With the vert being orange, it looks pretty good...but you'd need more silver accents throughout the car to make it mesh, I think. Again, I don't think the lights would look bad with all red lenses and small clear LEDs that only light up when put in reverse.
