I know that, said wow cause surprised at how they work guess that's the reason for the split in the drls. Also I have the diode dynamic switchback drls.

The front is not bad...more colors and graphic packages will make it loo even better.

Looks better than the 5th Gen. And I like and had a 5th gen until the 6th Gen came out.

Even though the facelift is growing on me (still like the pre-refresh better, but with black accents the SS could look great), I'm still shocked how easy you could fix what most people don't like about it. Bodycolored front and moving bowtie up and the design would be appealing to much more people


Here's a quick photoshop from a Camarofest picture:

As said a million times before...that helps it a LOT. (although it could be better with one other minor change.

But the bowtie cannot be easily moved. Its a dang bowtie shaped hole in the bumper.

Yea, I was with you. Was just saying it to GM. It's like they get a golf clap or something. Is this the first vehicle that they offer the switch backs on? Cus I don't recall any other model, even Cadillac having them.

switch backs ?

Do you mean the front turn signals alternate between two different lights instead of one just flashing ?

Sorry misinterpreted, cadillac cts bottom drls on the front bumper actually do and Yukon and sierra also have a portion of their drl lights switch to amber.

I'm neither hot nor cold on the SS front fascia refresh, though with time it is improving for me. However the photoshop by Samurai IMO is definitely an improvement and it very clearly showed me that it would be quite simple to satisfy just about everyone (for the most part). All chevy has to do is offer a body colored option for the piece between the fangs. They could charge a reasonable amount and then many of the complaints would be negated, everyone gets the look they prefer.

They offer vents in standard carbon flash (essentially black) or optional matching body color on the C7 so it's not without precedent.

I'll be very curious to see if this option ever becomes available. If it does, I'm sure Chevy heard the buzz and it was a reaction to it.

I'm a Camaro guy first and foremost, not a fan boy but, a fan. With that said, I'll love whichever route Chevy takes the car, unless they go fwd or CUV like the Eclipse nameplate. I like the car the way it is but, Chevy does need to offer the photoshop version. It makes the car look different than the original design, if not better. This and it is such an easy fix for them. I'm calling BS on the placement of the flowtie. I'm sure it won't enhance nor hamper airflow significantly. What are we going to sacrifice with placing it higher, a horsepower, 5 hp perhaps? If Chevy wants to go with their original design then so be it bu,t please offer the photoshop option too, thanks

For the 17-18 model they offer Color matching nostrills, So it could be posible, even the Silverado has a Color matching grill for the RST package
