I dislike it. Slapping different front or rear caps on an already integrated design worsens the styling typically.

Nice, not crazy about it but considering how Camaros are popping up everywhere, props for doing something original and not ricey/tacky to the car

Yes new Camaros including the SS are very common around here.

It serves better as a thought but as an actual build in real 3D just doesn't work.

Agree about the front being smallish with the chunky contemporary body. WOuld get more comment from the body shop exercise than the overall flow.

Looks a lot better, IMO, than the current stock grille. If those are vintage late-60's headlights, though (hard to tell from the picture), they won't have the power of today's HID/Xenon lamps, or even halogens.

Looks tweaked and not in a good way. The SS I rented on vacation was plenty beautiful with the modern look throughout

I thought the RS SS had the hideaway lights.
