Seeing a car in person is a different thing. I wasn't a big fan of the Synergy Green until I saw one in person at "Test Track" at Walt Disney World and loved it! Still knew Victory Red was the color I wanted but could definitely see the appeal of the Synergy Green.

Also, if there's one thing we know from the 5th gens is that people are going to alter things to suit their own tastes & personalities. Who cares if it has a chrome strip? People have changed a lot bigger things on their cars so far. I blacked out several things on mine because it how I like it. The fact that those items I blacked out came differently from the factory doesn't change how awesome a job the Camaro team did with the car!

i agree, the chrome strip is really bad, i like the sleek look of the headlights and grille, and i dont hate the tailights but prefer the old ones.... and as much as i love the ZL1 front, they probably should have updated it as well, its weird having the new rear and "old" front, oh well

we were thinking that some people who live in NY will probably put curb feelers on it as well as a "sim-con" roof and perhaps a gold package.........




Sorry -could not resist! Only kidding. (....I used to live on Long Island...)


I suspect this will be a non-issue in a few months - and, as someone mentioned....it just gives you another thing to change and personalize your Camaro. (...chrome taillamp surrounds come to mind...)

Who said they were plastic? For all we know, they could be real chrome. Who knows, :p

What do you think the "camaro" badges on the fenders and the bowties are made of?

I agree with the not liking chrome from the pictures, but walking around the car, I personally think the whole thing (RS or non) looks amazing. And if you don't like the chrome, spend 10 bucks on a can of plasti-dip and cover that sucker up! It's hard to get everything "perfect" when the crowd to please is so diverse, and not everyone likes the same thing. To think that Chev is doing such a great job now, think about the future. What we said about gen 5.0, they tried to fix with gen 5.1. I am willing to bet the lights will change for gen 6 along with a lack of chrome strip.
