Give us hideaway / flip lights GM!
Oh man before I saw this picture I didn't even think how hideaway lights would work or look on the new camaro.. but it looks absolutely amazing to me.
![]() I wish I had the ears of someone high-up at GM.. I'd annoy him until he made this part of the camaro. ![]() |

They look awesome.
![]() But, I don't expect to see them on a production version. Reasons: cost, and weight. I've heard weight is an "issue" with the concept, and I think GM would avoid any unnecessary weight, no matter how little it may be. |

Yeah, sorry guys......pop-up lights are now a no-no in Europe, on brand new cars, that is. In fact, the C5 Vette was the last car sold in Europe with pop-ups, the Ferrari 456 prior to that.
Are there any cars in the US that are still sold with pop-ups? Here's another rendering along similar lines: ![]() ![]() Last edited by Twin Turbo; 09-16-2006 at 11:37 AM. |

I still think black is the way to go. Black, silver stipes, smoked titanium wheels and FLIP LIGHTS!

All to do with our stupid European pedestrian safety laws. Also, pop-ups ruin your aerodynamics when raised, which is, I guess, why the Corvette racers have faired in lights.
