IMO, this isn't the car that can pull off the convertible look.
But then again, I think that very few cars can.

Why're there two antennae?

i just soiled myself! i have been waiting for this for a loooong time. looks good, antenna and xm shark fin look ok, 3rd brake light would look better in spoiler but would be problematic for easy spoiler changes.

a hardtop would be HOT, a fair compromise would be hard covered soft top like the vette -- i would sport that!!

1 ant for stereo, 1 for xm satellite

That car, it makes my heart beat just a little faster!!!!

camero · 11-30-2009, 08:06 PM

Don't worry; there won't be a shark fin but there will be an antenna in the centre of the trunk... but at least just one! And yes there will be a key lock necessary in the trunk. And no, the rear end of the car is not changed from the coupe... the bumper and lights and sides of the fenders etc are all the same.... all the changes are on top of the trunk-lid and fenders etc. And yes I agree the coupe is a lot nicer looking... making the convertible involves cutting off the most beautiful part of the car (unlike the Vette).

I feel you... it would look better with a hard top.

i am so excited for the convertible...

SirBrad · 11-30-2009, 09:26 PM

Wow, I just don't like what that looks like. Ick.

OVERPAR73 · 11-30-2009, 10:05 PM

I can hardly wait, it looks so good!! With a few minor corrections.

DrumDawg · 11-30-2009, 10:21 PM

Better have a garage. When I owned my 02 Ram Air Converable T/A I had to replace my top every 3 years @ $1500+ each time. It get's old real quick. Plus, it looks bad half of the 3years in between the top swaps. Not worth it. Camaro's are great, but get the hard top unless you can keep it indoors.

Those could have been done better or more discreet. Like in the mirrors or perhaps a "bud" type antennae?
