Couldn't agree more. The black trapezoids don't belong on that car. Does not match the styling.

My first observation was based off a bad photograph. So what? It only proves that it was a bad photograph. Updating a movie car for the sequel to give the movie a "fresh" look does not prove GM's involvement nor that any of those ideas will make production.

I'm not saying they won't, only that it isn't proof, which you suggested it was.

I'm Sure GM would want to approve any visual change to their car for the movie since they are basically using them as a 2 hour commercial for their cars.

Not a problem! I'm more into the tranformers then Camaros, however I got the best of both worlds going on right now with my favorite car in my favorite Franchises movies!

Give it a rest and everyone else a break!

GM make the cars look as they do for a reason Marketing. GM is involved deep in this movie and if you do not under stand that by now you have a lot to learn.

GM is spending a lot of money on these car to look and be represented as they want them to be. None of this is just happening by chance or at no cost to GM.

Scott has made it clear they spent a lot of money to build the Bumble Bees and even though they are not as costly as the original show car they were protected by GM reps as they did not want to lose either car due to the great amount of money they spent and for future use.

The bottom line is GM owns these cars and they are only on loan to the production company. GM holds the rights to approve of disapprove how they are used and represented. There is too much invested in these models and cars to just give them to a production company and let them rip them up at will.

The things done to these cars in street form are to represent the future prodution cars and or SPO parts that may be available. Note the key word MAY.

I am done with this and moved on and it is time for you to move on too.

FYI the photo may not have been the clearest but it was clear enough to tell the wheels had changes.
