Cause stuff from concept cars doesn't get you a $23K-$30K price tag on a mass produced vehicle.

Well, I don't see why we can't have the prepro headlights. They were bought at autozone so they are affordable, and we know they fit on the car...

We have the concept vert wheels, just have to buy them as accessories through GMPP.

The interior is INCREDIBLY simular to the concept

The stripes... been explained many times.

The exhaust tips... well... uh... I dont know on that one. They wouldnt have been able to put different size tips on like the production car allows, I'm guessing

To me, the production car looks better than the concept, but that's JMO. But all together, they are darn near identical, just minor changes that had to be done to keep it affordable

He's not talking about the concept headlights. He's talking about the original mule cars running around when everyone was complaining about the headlights. Those were just thrown in so they could drive them.

You can...for $250,000. Just make the check out to 'camaropete' and I will take care of the rest.

I always get a little surprised when people complain about certain things on the Camaro. I think this might be the first time in history that an actual production car is so close to the original concept. I am thrilled that the final car is so similar to the concept.

you can get the wheels from the vert concept. check out gmpp web sight. they are available in polished and in the same design as the dale jr. concept.

the concept exhaust pipes I really like
the stripes not so much, the production ones fit the car better
the interior looks to over the top and futuristic, nice for a concept not for production
the wheels I like but I prefer black

At $700 and up for one wheel? Thats pretty ridiculous. I can get 2 sets of nice aftermarket wheels for one set of those overpriced chunks.

No you can't. $700x4=$2800 You think you can get a set of good rims for half that? A set of good, lightweight, forged, high quality wheels do not cost $1400, at least not 19s or 20s. You might be able to get some forged 16s for that much.

CCW, Forgeline, iForged, HRE, 360Forged.......go look up their prices if you want to talk about "nice" aftermarket wheels. 700 isn't bad when it comes to high quality, and high quality means both performance and safety.
