It's an insult to both the first gen and fifth gen cars.

NO!

Can we add "That's a disaster" to the pole options?

So I'm guessing you hate this as well?

I don't think that front end really looks good on our 5th gens, but if they could redesign a future camaro to look more like that I would love it. For instance... look at the "BASS" mustang fastback replica car that came out. Looks like a 60s car outside, drives like a 2010+ supercar. That's what we need!

Nope. Doesn't fit, doesn't flow, nothing. Looks absurd.

Great fab work, but they should just drop the entire shell on it.

Too... um, Bell Bottom and Long Hair for me, the 2014 looks the meanest. I think Camaro's just keep getting better.

I don't want it. But I respect the work they put into it. I think it's a well done job. Some others have tried and not made it look as good as that right there.

That allows for the old bumble bee stripe around the front end. I like that stripe, but it doesn't seem to fit as well on the 5th gen as it did the 1st gen.

it's not one-off fab work. It's a kit. They make the same kinda thing to slap on a 4th gen.
