Personally I don't think comparing the '14 to something similar to a '69 is correct at all. The '69 didn't wrap around the edge of the quarter panel at an angle. Honestly, I've always loved the round tail lights of the '70-'73 and had they come like that on a 1st Gen we would've loved every minute of it. Can't fathom a 1st Gen with round lights now but that's just what were are used to.

I think the difference in the '10-'13 vs '14 should be compared more to the screw up that GM did with '70-'73 vs '74-'77. The first round of the 2nd Gen where awesome and then they completely pulled the tail lights out of the ugly bucket for the next round.

IMO, GM screwed up when they made the changes for '14. I know they had to do something and it was going to be really hard to change such a home run design they did on the '10 but still I think they really went in the wrong direction. So glad I have an early 5th Gen.

I agree!

Not even close!!! I like my 2010's tail lights better than the 2014, but that's because I'm more of a Corvette guy - but I need the back seat for my lil man. The 2014 does look a lot more like the 1969 styling (as is the rest of the C5 Camaro's).

Yes this would have been a great '14 evolution tying it to the Vette. For the front end, I would have made the ZL1 bumper treatment more common to the SS's as well, with tweaking for aerodynamics. That would have been enough + the Recaros option to keep it going strong until Gen6.

The OP pic is too Dodge Challenger I think.

Just changing the rear to a 2014 rear will be hard enough, but doing the C7 tail would be pretty hard as well!

Both are going to require you to do some custom fab work to either your rear fenders (b/c the 2014s wrap around the sides while the earlier ones do not), or two the bumper itself to retrofit the C7 tails....are you sure you want to try this?

If I had the money I would definetly do a C7 swap. It flows so nicely in my opinnion, like my teacher used to say, "when something works, it works".

Doesn't work for me...what about this?

[chewy8]

not good

Mods, this was the best thread you could find to make front page worthy? Not to take away from Zummy but he wasn't the first who photoshopped C7 tail lights on the 5th Gen Camaro. Lets get the originator out in front.

The original photoshop looks bad. Those droopy mascara vents look bad on the C7, and they would look bad on the Camaro. I don't like the 2014 Camaro rear end changes, but they don't look as bad as the mascara vents.

Now if you drop the droopy mascara and just used the Corvette taillights, that would not look bad (like the other photoshop of the blue car). I think that would be an improvement over the 2014 Camaro lights.

That massive hulk of unpainted Plastic on the Rear Bump is an eyesore. I saw a black 2014 SS an that unpainted Plastic had seen alot of sun and needed some Amorall really Bad. It made it look real cheap. If GM would paint that plastic it may help the look.
