Body kits
First, maybe this thread section should add "Body Kit's" to the title while I know it's early.
Anyway, I think we all have seen the renderings that mimic the classic Camaro hidden headlights (just look at my icon on the right) and I was wondering what you all think about it? Do you think someone could figure out either hidden headlights or better yet those LED's laid out in a classic fashion? Basically, that is exactly what I'd hope my Camaro (if all goes to plan) looks like one day. I know it's SUPER early but how doable are LED/Hidden lights like that for the Camaro?

Anything is possible with money. I would expect to see a few body kit, hood, and light options within the first year. Always remember that nothing fits like OEM parts.

I know, OEM fitment is something that really makes me avoid body kits to be honest with ya. But, that led lighting looks so dang good that I would love to see someone make headlamps like that...while still legal.

well if you just want the LED lights thats a lot easier to make on your own or buy after market
all you need is the extended grill so it goes from side to side and then you can either make the backing an air intake (that will require a bar to mount the LEDs on) and if you just want a regular one(with a backing) all you need then in a black plastic plate to mount then on +fabrication and wiring

^Bingo. Look up your states traffic code. You can easily do it online.

^I tried, but I thought it was federal so I'll try again locally.
I know they make LED's that large, seen them, so it should be easy for someone with skill (not me, but I'd try) to try it and sell it. I think we can agree that there would be a market for such a headlight setup.

As far as doing work on the exterior of the Camaro the only I may add would be a cowl hood. Only if they made one after market with the quality to give the look that it came like that.

IF I mod a car, which I never have but if I get the Camaro it's a keeper, I'd focus on cutting weight, tweaking looks (come on, it looks great already), and maybe add a bit of HP, handling, and breaking.
Looks wise, I'd LOVE those LED lights!

Yeah the lights and exhaust placement might be the only exterior mods I make. And if the exhaust isn't practical it'll have to go. I plan on getting the first line of SLP airflow management products aka making my car really fvcking loud. |
