We would all drive green Camaros.

I'm intrigued enough to wait to see the real pics before making a judgement.

The grille design does not blend in with the theme of the car, so it is definitely not for me. I keep thinking about how quickly a ZL1 can loose it's identity with changes like this and wonder why people don't leave a good thing alone. Chevrolet spent 100 hrs in wind tunnel tests and spent many engineering hours determining the shape of the existing grille. Do folks believe DJ grilles base their design on aerodynamics? What is the positive side to this change? For me, I bought a ZL1, not an asanti or lexani and I am not trying to make it look like something else.

I think its cool looking! Would look great on a show car!

Lmao some of you guys are sounding like my grandfather with the whole "you cant improve on what the factory did" attitude. People do it every day, and like I already said to call another mans car ugly bc it has been modified in a manner that differs from the way you would have done it is rather rude.

Not a fan. The big gaping front grille is what makes Camaro look like a musclecar. This grille stifles that.

Lowtan · 07-03-2012, 03:38 AM

i like it a lot.

Run and Gun · 07-03-2012, 04:21 AM

That's bada$$! I like it.

Sorry; I don't like it at all.

Corrective lenses on the ZL-1???

Pretty sure that car would come with 20/20 vision and not need a set of aftermarket Lenscrafters. On the up side it makes the ZL-1 look very smart

.

Sorry, not a fan.

I don't like it myself, but that just means it won't be on my car. I love to see the way that people make their cars their own! Everyone has a different opinion, that is what makes it fun to see them all.

cosmoZL1 · 07-15-2012, 09:59 AM

I will pass. I agree with the part about making a car a custom or better yet "individualize" it. Thats why we are "Americans" We've Never left ANYTHING alone. "We" can always improve on it. That being said? I don't like the picture and until I see the real thing? It just doesn't do the trick. Some of this aftermarket stuff looks like "Vomit"

Some designer looking for the next best thing and just throws anything out there and see if it sticks. Wonder if it was mocked up on a ZL1 with wind tunnel and cooling tests. Or, another, Uh, test car thats seen too much already. Just an opinion so don't hate.
