I think these new lights, along with the adjusted bumper cover to removed the crease/bumps under the lights, make the whole back end look beefy and muscle.
Totally agree... I think this is one place where you can see that Team Camaro listened after the last refresh.

They totally nailed it with this rear end and lights.

The tail lights are too rounded and that center bar looks bad.

That's what I do

I was looking at my 2018 tail lights today. They're sweet. They're concave and sleek. Not sure if different than previous years but they centers are clear surrounded by red. The dark ZL1 lights are even better, but that's just a simple swap. I think they look fantastic. These protruding donuts on the new one look busy and bug eyed like an after thought.

This is true...I remember Malibu showroom ads highlighting the "Camaro-like" tail-lights...

In the more expensive Camaro column category, pretty slick of them to make horrible looking new tail-lights (all "red") that you can avoid by spending more on dark-tinted ones that at least are somewhat acceptable....If they are going with that style, everyone should get the dark-tinted ones at no extra cost....

Standard black SS wheels that look damaged and bent can probably also be replaced with decent looking ones, for more money of course...lol

No kidding. If a Camaro doesn’t fit the golf clubs plus Yogi-Bear, Cindy-Bear, Ranger Smith and Boo-Boo. No sale!

Fitting golf clubs in the trunk was actually a design requirement mandated during the development of the C5 Corvette..
