Honestly guys......even the kids these days aren't putting big @$$ed ol' ***** on their Hondas......it's like so 2001..........

Does Tom Peters or anyone on the original design team have any veto power on any of these add-ons?

As long as I can buy one that looks as much as Bumblebee as possible Ill be happy. That being the headlights, wheels, and rear deck wing.

I would like to see some of these elements on a car by themselves, all of this junk on one car is way overkill, rice spectacular.

I like the gas filler door for sure, I definitely like the small lip spoiler and would buy one for mine if it doesn't already have a small spoiler of some kind.

I like the hood, don't care for the large single stripe. Not sure on the hockey stripes, but they may look better w/o the other center stripe.

As for the GFX, eh, maybe they would be cool without the rest of the stuff tacked on the car. These definitely look better than the 4thgen Camaros did w/ the ugly *** factory GFX packages.

The kit looks a tad ricerish..mostly in the grille, and spoiler. I would much rather a less busy grille, and high rise lip spoiler. I would not be surpised if GM leaked these to get feedback because they were unsure themself.

The exterior of the Camaro is great. The only thing I really dislike is the backup lights. They look like they were thrown on at the last minute as if someone forgot them. I think they would look cool inside the inner taillights.

Some of these comments crack me up! You guys do realize that they simply throw everything on the car because they only have one car to try the different ideas on. They don't intend to package everything together.

-One real Problem with the new Camaro before I vent here a little.
-The rear C pillar-body side to wheel is too thick. It will not change, so heres my suggestion.
-This visually makes the car look very "rearend" heavy.
-Don't come out with this ugly body kit. The accesory designers im sure are having a ball with the 5th gen...but let the aftermarket guys take care of the body modding.
-Some will be gorgeous, others will be typical rice.
-This body kit mock up sucks plain and simple.
-Whats up with the HUGE wheels, Park bench spoiler and tacky lower valance?
-The rear doesn't look too bad, though the fact that the rear 3/4 is soo thick the ground effects makes the side 1/4 panel area look like it belongs on a mini van.
-GM needs to take a few notes from Saleen, Roush and Steeda when it comes to Aftermarket bodykits, wheels and accessories.
-That front grill is very cheap and boring looking.

Once again, its not a "kit". Its several "kits" and ideas being placed on the car to get the dimensions correct. Watch the video.

You do realize that in the profile shot, someone photoshopped on larger wheels?

This isn't necessarily related to these aftermarket add-ons, except that this piece looks like it got a "billet" treatment, but:

Why is the gas filler on the PASSENGER'S side of the car, when it should be on the DRIVER'S side??????

Since 1982, the gas filler was on the LEFT SIDE of the car. Even the CONCEPT had it on the LEFT. Why on EARTH would you go and change that now?!?!?!?!??! I don't care that the filler isn't up on top of the fender (like the Concept) ... actually, it's probably better that it isn't, but what was wrong with it being on the DRIVER'S SIDE of the car?????

Hi, welcome to the forum, let me escort you into the room of overly flogged gripes. Here's your dead horse over here. Here's your bat. Have fun.
