not to mention, it seems crazy that they wouldn't do a model of the Z/28, and you NEED the new front/rear end for that

Welly was going to do a 2014 Z/28 die-cast in 1:24 scale, but pulled it in order to prepare for a 2016 Camaro instead.

Might be but I thought Japanese when I first saw it. Definitely the 2010 - 2013 was in the design pattern of the corvette at the time. The new taillight so have grown on me.

Remember when your dad got new glasses when you were a kid and thought he looked goofy? Same thing. Eventually you like his look.

Every time I see the rear of a 2014+ Camaro I think of a Volt. No different than the folks that thought of a Sebring every time they saw a 4th gen Camaro, or a Fusion vs today's Mustang.

I did not like the re-fresh at all. Hated the lights. But now that I've seen it in person, it looks more aggressive to me than the pre 2014. I still like mine though. They're just different and I would be happy with either. Just love Camaro. The new one will grow on people as well. I am glad that they didn't round it out too much. Still has sharp and agressive lines. Getting away from this post i guess.....

Love the '14-'15 RS tail lights. I really don't see why everyone has such a problem with them.

This is the first tail light thread that started from a model that is not made at this time.

With the '10-'13 models, nice design with the reverse lights and having to remove the rear bumper to replace them when they go out!

Pewter99 · 06-12-2015, 11:38 AM

The rear diffuser is too flat needed to be more contoured. It stands out too much.

Because people of all ages with low EQ tend to complain about things that don't matter.

Lots of these people have found themselves on the Camaro5 forum.

Low IQ?

Would have been homage to the '69 if the lights had stayed on the rear of the car, and not migrated in to the quarter panels. I feel that is what killed it, and took away the retro styling.

Anyway, maisto makes a diecast 14 z/28

c5Legend · 06-12-2015, 12:19 PM

Cant they just chop a prelude rear end and throw it on the kit?
