See the similarities













Early 70's were the round corvette tail lights. I love the 10-13 tail lights so don't get me wrong but they were not even close to the camaro heritage....just saying...

You speak of heritage? What makes the tail lights heritage? The entire car is new from 1967 models. Other than a stolen styling shape, the only things in common on all generations are four wheels.

Were T-tops heritage? Was a digital dash in the 80's heritage? Was having a hatchback heritage?

I guess the new vette outta look like this if the tail lights are what dictates heritage.

This and probably because they were transitioning the market for the Gen6 which has similar design with lights and such. I love my rear lights and wouldn't trade them for a newer model

Hasn't grown on me, but the Z28 rear end, and consequent complete package, is totally kicking, in fact, my favourite looking Camaro of them all.

Go figure.

I think what the new '14+ tailight redesign did was to visually lower and widen the backend of the car which is good.

I know the new 6th gens will grow on me. However, I don't know if I will ever like them better than the '14/'15 5th gens.
Subliminal advertisement seems to work well, everything "grows on us" in time, just sayin'

I guess you don't see the similarities.

Steve, I do see similarities in shape and location on the 14 up in relation to the 67 - 69's. I just don't think it solely dictates the Camaro heritage, but yes I see the similarities of which most reference.

I didn't say that it solely dictates the camaro heritage either. But since we are talking tail lights and nothing else. The similarities in the tail lights are one thing that has been past down through the years for the most part anyways. Not exactly the same but similar.

Know black does stand out but shows everything and white well just plain but the red stripes do look better , I put hood spears on mine with cut outs SS 6.2L because mine has the hood scoop. I just think if you had a more stand out color you would like it better . Check mine out but everybody likes something a little different

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!!
SAD TO SEE YOU SUFFER SO.
HEY, HAVE YOU SEEN THE MUSTANG
GT 350 OR SAY HOW ABOUT THAT DODGE CHALLENGER
