the hex vents look good on white, they have front splitters that would mean up your front end, interior lighting kits etc...

I've noticed the people that complain most about the much improved & better looking 2014 tails are (mainly) 10-13 owners.. Non-camaro owners & 2014 owners love the new design.

If you want 2010-13 lights go buy a new impala or vette

As crazy as this may sound, I'm really considering trading it for a 2015 in a different color or even going back to a 2013 or 2012. I hate the look of the lights in the back, the 2010 to 2013 ones looked so much sportier. I know it sounds ridiculous, but has anyone ever done that? I know I'm going to lose money, but I can't see paying for something I'm not happy with. I just don't know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated!!

Should have gotten it with red stripes again. They are a little faster.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to look into our laws here and see what is allowed as far as the tinting of the lights go. Thanks again.

If still unhappy, i have a black v6 2010 camaro i'm willing to trade

The stripes are removable, that is minor.

Change them and give it some time, you may like it.

You can do all kinds of awesome stuff with a Summit White Camaro. You need to make it your own!

I personally really like the 14's base model's tail end, due to the 69 style throwback (not a big fan of the RS tail lights though). I personally picked up a set of BigWorm's tail light blackouts, and cut out the rectangular patch for the white reverse light in order to make it stand out even more. I really like the way it looks, and thats all that matters to me!

Personally, I like Ofers 69 iteration of the one piece per side look.
I think Chevrolet could of done a much better job on the '14+ rear look to be quite frank.
Even the people who are completely neutral on this topic prefer the '13 rear look.
Hopefully they will get it right on the 2016.

Love the Ofer look.

I actually love the 2014 look both the front and the back, but I also thought the 2013 style was great too. I can sympathize with wanting to take a loss and get what you want though. I was without a sports car for a long time , bought a 2014 RS thinking it would be powerful enough, now I crave the 6.2L everyday! It's a lease though so I have 2.5 years left now until the V8

That is pretty bad ass. Not going to lie, I appreciate the dual tail lights of the 10-13, but I do prefer one piece tail light configurations. That custom job is amazing.

OP I like how your car look with the black stripes! But nomatter what if you don't like it and like the 10-14 better , you'll never be happy with any mod that you put on your 14! Just take it as a lesson learned and go get the 10-13 that you really want! I traded my 13 for my 11 because I wanted a 11 with the Retro speedo numbers! I took a loss but it's a win for me because I got exactly what I wanted! Remember there's no gain without sacrifice!
