Dissapointed in the Tail Lights - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I like them. As a former 1969 Camaro owner, I kinda wanted more of a retro design, until I saw the pic below.

The 5th gen Camaro is a giant nod to the Corvette. They're family. Outstanding design IMHO.

I saw a Cyber Grey Metallic RS today and it was pretty easy to tell what the tail lights were for the RS. The darker lens should make the details appear more defined and there should be a higher contrast across the areas of the lens.

On a side note, if you're going to use the '69 tail lights. I think you should at least do it this way:

I love that SLP spoiler!

I've physically seen the slp version...I'll wait for the GMPP version. Just my opinion.

Those both look very cool. The stock ones look good also, LED Either way would have looked more high end.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 07-19-2009, 10:12 PM

I am thinking of making a set of all LED tail lights for fun, Need to get a set of OEM tail lights, And A lot of LED's.
At the end of the month i will drive to LA and buy all the parts to play on One and See if I like IT.

I like the tail lights. I like the whole package. I like a 100% stock vechicle myself; I won't be making any aftermarket changes to mine.

Do not like.

z28mass · 07-24-2009, 07:37 AM

5th generation has it's own look, I think the whole package is awesome, let it be. I love it. Why would we want the camaros to look all the same? My opinion.

snizzle · 07-24-2009, 07:41 AM

Yeah, it's not a retro design. It's got retro design cues but we aren't talking Challenger here. My only complaint on the rear end is the visible mufflers but that's fixed with the ground effects.
