I like it somewhat. I have always loved those late 60's Camaros, and this is just a throwback that I feel almost pulls it off. I would have chosen the hidden headlight grill myself, since that was my personal favorite (in my head it's the '68 SS, but I am not sure).

Needs Audi LED strips and BMW Halos to complete the look .

Thank you. This explains why I could never lock down which year/model had the hidden headlights in past attempts.

Agreed, styling exercises done with a hacksaw tend to not flow.
