I just walked around my '08 Mustang GT three times and I can't find one single "fake vent". Where are these located?


BTW, the new Camaro is one bad ass looking car.

There's only one that's pretty bad on the newer stangs, that optional "hood scoop"...But I was reffering more to the previous gens - those side vents aren't exactly eye candy.

Gotcha. I just assumed that since this was a site for the new Camaro, you wouldn't be comparing it to a Mustang that was built 4 years ago or longer.

Naw...It has nothing to do w/ comparing cars. We are comparing vents....and we could have compared to any vehicle that has a non cut out vent. The only reason we brought up Mustangs was cause my wife had a 00 for a couple years and it had fake vents on the sides and hood scoop. Sure, vents add a little sumthin' sumthin' to the look of the car, but....for me, it's the little details that all add up. I LOVE the side vents, but I feel like they just have to be cut out. It's kind of like getting to eat a steak at your favorite steakhouse, but having a cold when you go and can't taste it. What's the point?

That's how I see it. I know what ya'll are talking about w/ more cost, etc. But, we really don't know for sure about all that, so... For now, ya'll know my hopes.

Anyways, since the concept release, I've set my internal countdown clock and it is set in stone.

Still, it looks very close to the concept. Throw some paint on there and it'll be rockin'!


Damn, those two photos of the concepts look good. I think the white paintjob and the dull weather the day that photo was taken doesn't help it. The lights in the show all make the concepts angles stand out so much more.

This is NO GOOD! The Cool thing about the Camaro is his boldness. Simple Grill, simple Lights etc. This new front will destroy everything. I saw the New Camaro Concept in an Autoshow, this boldness makes the whole presence... Never, never change that!!!!

^I don't mind either headlight design. They both look good to me. Good chop, though.

Well...then again, maybe you're not part of the 90% of people who love this car. Sorry.

Anyways, IF you don't like it; I for one don't want to hear it called garbage, or an "amateur-mobile"...because you are 120% wrong, no matter how you slice it. And it hurts my feelings, sort of.;p
I concur! There are so many other lame venues to which you can "egg-spress" you hatefulness. THIS AINT ONE OF THOSE PLACES!!!

OK, I bashed the back end on the other forum, so I guess I'll do some on the front end...but not as much.

The back end with the backup lights and outset rear end are awful changes.

The front looks real close to the concept, though.

Here's my comments on the front:

1) Go back to the concept headlights. They should be single round lights.

2) I like the larger grill openings in the concept and I agree that it looks bolder with the larger openings. The smaller ones are OK, and will probably grow on me with time.

Good job GM for not mucking with anything else in the front and thank goodness they kept the round fog lights.

Overall, the front and side look great. I think the functionality of the vents is optional, since many original cars had non-functional features like this.

Why is it not sinking in to people that those aren't the production headlights? Not just sbg...but a lot of people.!
