All I can say is when you see it in person give it 5-10 minutes and you will change you mid you will really like the changes.

The new taillights will take some getting used to. Nothing wrong with a little change here and there .

Thank goodness I got a 2013 ZL1....The new rear lights of the 14s look like Crap!!!

While the seats on the new Z28 are sweet, not much else on the car is appealing, IMO.

Typical car forum rhetoric . . . changes in the new model year are made and those on forums, emotionally invested in their current car, find a reason to make themselves feel better about the model year they own.

I bet GM conducted about a zillion market studies and opinion groups before deciding those taillights were improvements, but group think here would make you wonder if a soul could possibly like them.

Accept that change is okay sometimes and that you don't necessarily have the best available Camaro anymore.

Wonder if a person can color match the angle on the side of the lights to get the squared effect on the tails?

Yup! It was really nice to see the thought that was put into the tail lights. When you include the '69 attributes, those tail lights pay tribute to each generation.

5-10mins? Lol. The rear end does not look good, period. There has been plenty of clear images of the rear end for people to have opinions. The only thing they did right on the ZL1 was leaving the front fascia the same. No chrome strip equals success. I can't say the same for the SS/1LE models equipped with the RS package.

Make it more balanced with no wrap-arounds. 35 years too many. The Corvette took our cue, time to get it back!
