There's one pebble that I feel in my shoe, each time I see the rear of my Camaro. When designing the refresh, I wish Chevy would've kept the rear diffuser shark fins. I believe it looked much more aggressive with them.

The 'fin' style was more aggressive, but there's something I like about the newer ones too. Something about the lines keep the rear looking somewhat 'slim' and streamlined, if you know what I mean?

Glad I got a '15 when I could. Funny how the 16 has the tail light design more like the early 5th Gen series.

Answer is simple. When they changed to the less manly tail lights on the 2014 - 2015, they needed a weaker diffuser look to go along with it. Simple. j/k (but still true) still j/k (but still true) You get the idea.

CruisingSpeed · 01-18-2016, 08:22 AM

I agree with that. For some reason the perfect am. diffuser is non existent.

If i had a 2014-15 model I would search like hell to get a z/28 diffuser. Quad tips, shark fins, what else is there to ask for?

actually some improve on things themselves... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102781

I think someday I will get a smoothed and painted one for my dual tips.

Yes they went more plastic looking for the future unfortunately ....... here are more varied pics..

I hate my tail lights compared to the 2010. It was almost a deal breaker.

I was thinking more of the somewhat-separated lenses.

Pete M · 01-18-2016, 09:34 AM

I think the 2010-13 tail lights look more "Camaroish" than the ones on my 2014.
Would rather have the older style on mine..
