Seems like this version is the one most favorable so I made some changes based on feedback. Believe it or not quite a bit was changed.
Attachment 541689

I reduced the width of the car; especially the front fenders. Changed to the split horizontal stylized turn signals in the front. Put the Chevy logo in the center of the grill and moved the SS to the side. Because of reducing the width of the car the tires aren't quite as wide now but the wheel well extensions are more radical. Lower opening in the front is a bit wider. LED running lights in the lower front cutouts are not as wide. Revised the lower rear quarter panel scoops on the side view.

I think there may have been some other things I did but I can't remember right now. At any rate quite a few subtle changes were made.

Looking good.

Not sure if you removed them on purpose, but you lost the hard lines in the rear from your last image that I thought was cool. Something about the rear end just looks a bit bland to me....not the blackened area or the lights, but the white area. I just feel like something small, but noticeable should be there to break that up.

In the front, I'm thinking if you widened the raised part of the bottom of the upper grill it may look a bit better.

Funny thing is, is that the basic shape of that grill opening would be very close to the 2014 which I don't care for. Actually, its not the shape of the 2014 front opening I don't like...its what they did with the headlights and grille inside of it. Not to mention I don't care for the new fog lights or the housings either.

Might just be artistic license you took, but the front Chevrolet badge needs to be much more prominent if you're trying to achieve a production look.

Sorry but don't get me started on this monstrosity. It looks like a Bentleymaro. Yuck.

As far as Doc's design I really like the spoiler that looks like it is missing a piece in the middle. I can't think of a car that has one like that and it fits with the rest of the design.

FenwickHockey65 08-05-2013 10:20 PM

It is a unique spoiler but not sure how great the aero benefits will be.

Also, just another nitpicky thing if you're trying to get a production look. Most Chevrolets have five spoke wheels. It's a dumb standard that was established forever and a year ago but it's one thing GM has held on to until today for most Chevrolets.

I'm working on a more futuristic side view and will hopefully have something to post up later tonight when I get home from work.


Can u say. Mitsubishi Eclipse? Used and worn out!

Great effort Doc, way to man up and subject yourself to criticism. Refreshing. So tired of the complaining membership... this thread is what is best about this forum!

Thank you.

Oh yeah, forgot to put that back. I noticed I also forgot to put the side marker light on the passenger side too. The raised part of the bottom of the upper grill is proportioned to flow upwards from the width of the lower cutout, and those two shapes together are reverse mirror shapes of the hood bulge. I know what you mean lol, when I was doing it I thought the same thing "this is kinda sorta like the refresh" except what I did is far more stylish and has curves to it. The refresh front has a flattened horizontal kind of look to it which is okay, but not very dynamic or emotional; it's just kind of "there". Compare the 3 fronts; the 2013 1LE, the 2014 refresh, and what I'm working on.

Yeah I stuck that in there because I realize if this is going to be produced there needs to be a logo for non SS or RS cars. I actually like the SS in the center better.

I thought that was a nice variation. It's a duck tail flare that gives a hint of spoiler for cars that don't have one. I'll probably work up a spoiler of some kind that can work with that flare.

You have to be joking, right? Now see what happens when you smoke crack and post on a forum? You can get bizarre side-effects... like comparing my design to an Eclipse.

Probably minimal but it would be interesting to see what the effect would be in a wind tunnel.

Really?? I didn't know that... and you're right, it's dumb. Why limit yourself when other designs might better lend themselves to an individual car style? Oh well... anyways I'll work on a 5 spoke version then.

The front end is now on the right track. Looking good! I still think the lower grille needs to be larger and maybe circle blinkers in the grille rather than square.

It's one of those things you hear about and wonder, "Really? This is what you guys are worrying about?! :facepalm:" :laugh:

Bob Lutz detailed that and a lot of other stupid standards GM clung to before bankruptcy in his last book.

Hey Doc, your latest versions look great. The front and rear look sharp. The side view; however, leaves something to be desired. To me, it looks Plain Jane. The 5th Gen looks fast sitting still, your side view looks very ordinary. I'm not quite sure what to recommend though. Good job! :clap: My favorite is still KMPrenger's pic from page 1.

Here ya go. Circle turn signals in front and the lower grill area is wider and a bit taller.

To be honest I don't really like that. To me it looks like a snow plow in reverse and a bit too cartoonish. However I hear you on the side view. I kept my design traditional along the lines of the 67-69 profile. One of the things I've been interested to find out is how far are people willing to go with a more futuristic shape and still accept it as a Camaro? It seems like the current version of my front and rear design is being fairly well received so I'll work on a less-conservative side view now.
