OK so I had a lil time to play with and I thought I would do some quick Photochop of the Camaro.

Original pic

Debadged!!! I Love a clean butt!!! Notice the shark fin has gone too!!

Debadged/No fin and reverse lights removed!! I think GM could have found a more better place to put these, as its more cleaner without them.

Debadged/No fin and reverse lights repositioned!!

Let me know what you think. Its not the best PS and I rushed it so sorry if you can see some imperfections.

Good work, but I'm not too keen on the reverse lights put between the brake lights like that. I'd rather have them on the bumper....or better yet, not there at all! But, good work over all. Now...black in that back center piece.

I think they would look good vertical up next to the license plate.

After looking at those pics, personally I don't like the look of the car completely debadged. As for the lights, isn't there a minimum distance that the lights have to be? So that may not be legal.

I completely agree about GM's placement of the reverse lights. It's one of my biggest gripes about the Camaro design wise. They look slapped on and don't integrate very well with the rear.

With that said, I don't know of the legal implications of the placement of these lights and how that may have effected GM's decision on the design. Also, by placing them on the sides of the license plate, which I think looks much better, there may be an issue with mounting non-American rear plates because of the size/shape difference.

I do know this, I'll be taking my CGM SS to the body shop for them to paint the reverse lights for a tinted look that will blend better with the darker color of CGM. That's my solution for giving it a cleaner look (I'll also debadge but leave the bowtie on the back)

That is Awesome. Much better than the original spot, but must say I love it either way!

edog · 11-23-2008, 10:40 AM

actually, upon further inspection the original way looks beefier. I think I would like it better the way they have it now.

IMO, Taking away the light placement looks softer.

The shark fins completes the setup. Wouldn't want it removed.

Looks good IMO with the reverse lights next to the license plate and the fin removed.

MrGazinya · 11-23-2008, 01:02 PM

Still like the way they are now. That is a "Great Ass" (Pacino's voice)

debadged looks great only because it's one more thing you don't have to clean around.

EllwynX · 11-23-2008, 02:27 PM

I actually prefer the bowtie and SS badges in place.

The reverse lights I'm indifferent about. They only place I don't like them is between the taillights.

Bumble Bee '77 · 11-23-2008, 04:22 PM

What about this...Dropped 3 inches, moved reverse lights next to plate, plate debadged.
