Use caution in complaints, please. You can speak your mind, but don't call the people that worked and slaved on this car dumbasses.

That not only gets on the nerves of others, but doesn't make you look to great either.

You all have my sincere apology. I was just writing what I was thinking at that moment. But now I realize what you have said^^^. I will now use better word choice in my replies.






























But I still want to know if I will be able to get the pre-pro bumper on my SS

Cant we put the front plate in the car by the windsheild??? I've seen some cars go right pass the police with that setup.

Looks like the front spoiler is lower to the ground too. I like the wider lights!

My thoughts exactly on the color, maybe some rally stripes for that added finesse.

Maybe they could make a license plate big enough to hide the "busy" grille and spoiler? Consider yourself lucky.

The V6 bumper looks a lot more tidy.

ALSO... if they're going to all the trouble to make different bumpers they could have done something to make the V-8 scoop less fake or just removed it. How about getting rid of that fake scoop on the V-8 and putting it on the hood like bumblebee?

maybe im confused, but it sounds like there are going to be different bumper styles depending on the trim level. the pictures of the pro-pro vert were most definately NOT ss trim level, but the bumper is identical.

I have to say that i didnt like the bumper on the black vert but seeing it in silver has changed my mind about it.

This is more like it!

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Anybody notice the grill in the pic? Why do they have SS on both sides of the grill? In the first pics we seen clearly, the SS was on the drivers side, this pic shows it on the passenger side.

I don't know if people have mentioned this, but I don't like the difference between the concept taillights and the production ones. they're smaller, the red doesn't get darker at the edges, and the'yre a little more square-ish in shap than the concept's.
I don't like them.

And I agree with alot of you other guys, I don't like the fin or the reverse lights, mave them, too much going on on the back end because of them.

Thanks. It was just a quick rework. Glad you liked it.

All I did was close off the fake scoop amd moved the grille back inside the lower opening a couple of inches. I took one of the slats off the lower frille and spread the others out to cover the same area. It's a lot more faithful to the concept this way.

The grille protruding from the "mouth" has the same "feeling" for me as the grille on the front of the 1998-2002 Camaro... the cheap black plastic thing that everyone hated.

I'm not trying to be a jerk orr offend the people that worked hard on this car. I just don't "feel the love" for the treatment of the grille on the 'vert in the original picture. I honestly do believe that the original grille spoils the clean look of the concept and will get negative reviews.

If we had never seen the concept before in the past, then maybe nobody would notice, but since we've seen the concept and the mules for so long I think the protruding grille is a step backward and will stand out as such.

You're not confused. That's what's going to happen. Different front-ends for different-level models.

How do you know that? Because it doesn't have an 'SS' badge? If you notice, it doesn't have a bowtie either...so it might be closer to say they just didn't put badges on the convertible for the picture at all. Plus, given hints by Camero...the convertible IS an SS.


I've got to say, at first the SS front end was just 'okay' for me...now I'm really liking it.

[pruettfan]

I like both front ends. I am glad however that I don't live in a state that requires front plates. If I move back to CA I will still not put a plate on the front of that car because it will ruin the look.
