First thing I would do is take a black sharpee to that hockey stick seam.

Also, the black single stripe on the top is not as nice as 2 top stripes to me.

On the plus side, the interior colors are nice the wheels are AMAZING... Excellent choice!

I usually prefer understating when it comes to car style. Give a hint of Money / Power / Coolness with bigger wheels, avoid too much flash, and the car would be a winner.

Yes yes ok I would still buy it up in a second... but still.. just my minor peeves.

I see a trend developing here. Looks like all the people that aren't impressed with the design or accessories already owns a Generation 4 Firebird/Trans-Am. Why is that?

I agree, the hockey stripes should be painted and it looks poorly applied, but to those that think the 21" wheels look small, think again. Those tires look like they were meant to be married on that car. For a V6, meh, probably not, and definitely not worth $4000.00. I guess the problem here is that Trans-Am/Firebird aficionados are upset that the Camaro does not resemble the famed F-body hey are used to. Can't help you there folks. You know you could always buy a Challenger, and you should already KNOW what I think about Challengers/Dodge. And please, if you are going to visit the site, please do not desecrate the name "Camaro" by spelling it incorrectly and then have the audacity to say nothing positive about it. Come on, you are on a Camaro fan site for goodness sakes.

I was never a fan of the hockey stripes. With the gap where front fascia meets side-quarter panels, the interrupted stripes only serves to draw attention to that gap...BIG TIME....And the one flaw the Camaro has, IMO, is that gap. Its like drawing a big red circle around a zit on a person's face.

I'm thinking the gas door is going to look vary nice in the ABM! Those wheels are nice too! I am undecided on the mudflaps... but I think they will grow on me, and I may get them... I don't like the slung mud look up the side of my cars... my FJ maybe... not my Camaro!

Looks like they cut the vinyl then applied it. Probably should install it over the gap then cut it so you can kind of tuck it into the gaps there and it would look and fit a lot better. but the piece on the hood looks weird and the mud flaps............not for me.

Sorry to say that, but from here, those look like pictures illustrating a book titled :
"How to ruin a car for dummies".

In my point of view, the worse are those splash guards. They just break the beautiful lines of the ride.
Sorryyyyyy..

I think its great GM took time to offer these accessories as there are a lot of people who will opt for them. It's all profit too. I won't be one of them.

I have not agreed with how GM has handled the rally or hockey stripes from the first time I've seen them. From being vinyl to the placement to the fit and finish I think it's the weakest point so far for the car. It seems like this is an area where they went cheap and it shows. I'm just glad this isn't a major part of the car and only on option.
