The blade spoiler for the ZL1 would be nice as well
I doubt you will see any spoiler options for the ZL1, the rear tails you can order the GM ones with your vehicle or pick up a spare set and paint them. I wish the GM ones were darker so I am going to snag a set of takeoffs and paint them.

Thanks, I mainly ripped off some newer design language I've noticed in the BMW i8 and have begun to see more recently across other higher-end cars as well. The i8 uses a sort of "protruding edges" kind of design to give a sense that the car is almost wearing armor of some sort. I tried to keep all surfaces on one of three "planes" to emphasize that clean, semi-3D look. Therefore, if you look carefully, the Camaro grill was simplified substantially while new details emerge from the lower fascia.

Plane 1 (outer) = Left and right protrusions that hug the lower fascia as well
Plane 2 (middle) = Center of top and bottom facia and headlamps
Plane 3 (inner) = Top grill, lower grill, DRL housings

Overall shape and look from afar is the same as the current 6th gen though so it isn't unrecognizable by any means.

While I'm pretty sure this is pretty close to what we get (based on the FNR-X Concept), I think this is way too much scifi looking for my taste

..so true..and here's hoping that GM replaces the current 'toilet bowl' hood.

I have a feeling safety regulations would prevent anything like that from existing in the event of a crash. A metal hood extending all the way to the very front of the car could be a problem.

And where would the latch be and what would it anchor onto? The grill and headlight assembly would. be directly underneath.
