Silver bowtie only for me. Anything less will be replaced.
Though I DO think the Camaro insignia should be somewhere subtle.

thats only a myth. it wasn't solid gold, only gold plated aluminum. Still too expensive

I'm not much for a ragtop but DUDE! put that next to the jet black hard top in my driveway.

I don't understand why the pre-pro (photo-shoot) convertible did not have the chevy badge placed on the grill. It would be silly to go against the concept and Bumblebee on this one and put something else at this point. It would seem they could have used scotch tape for the photo-shoot and removed it afterwards with ease and we wouldn't have known they had done that...

Actually Dragoneye did that one for me per my request on the Photoshop thread. I like the heritage Z/28 emblem in the grille and though that isn't exactly the Rallye Green color it gives you an idea, I want the Rallye Green but don't expect it to be offered. I think the subtle changes shown in the new vert pics will look OK.

Badges are some of the longest lead items on any car. They have to go thru rigorous safety testing, marketing and manufacturability protocols that most parts never see. Generally they aren't ready until hours before the line actually begins to move at the start of production. Also gold, is getting very expensive and GM can't waste it on mule cars, even for the photo department. Plus all the scotch tape was used up from taping the rest of the car together! Either that or they forgot since they're so used to seeing them all without the bowties.

New front's really ugly to me .... looks like a BMW or something ... the old oe was wayyyyyy meaner and more powerful looking.

I guess the coupe won't have the same front bumper, cause most of the time, convert have to look more soft for women

Can someone do a new emoticon saying"These ARE the real headlights!"

Everything looks great except for that lower grill. It seems bigger than the concept's and just doesn't fit (in my opinion).

Great job guys...can't wait to see one in person!
