Can we change the tails on the 2020 back to the ones we have on the 2016-18s?

They do look like protruding goggles, I've seen plenty in person at dealerships. The changed lines on the rear bumper further amplify their weirdness. Much better in the dark when one can only see them illuminated, that is a relatively decent sight indeed.

But, then again, it's mostly a matter of personal preference and tastes, although I wonder how strong the disappointment, if any, with the taillights on the 5th gen refresh and then the '16-18 6th gens was. It seems only a few folks wished for GM to revert to the pre-refresh 5th gen style rounded dual taillight setup.

Because I would like to......

Does anyone know if changing the taillights on the 2020 is possible, back to the tails from 16-18s?

I think both versions look nice

No my wife drives a 2019 1LT/RS. This is a stock unit that just came in. I have not driven an LT1 yet but I'm going to try and take one out today for a road test.

No way man, you will have to change whole rear bumper also, too complicated.
New tail lights looks fresh, but too big and convex, out of whole car shapes. Not smoked looks completely ugly. But i like dual style and hope to see aftermarket dual design for 2016-2018 model year.

The new tail lights are way overdone and plainly hideous. The 16 - 18 taillights just flow with the rest of the car so much better.

I dont think the LT1 comes with a spoiler. Think of the LT1 as a 1LT with a V8 instead of a 4Cyl or V6. Besides the front brembos, not much else is different.

I remember in 2015 this site was full of threads on how can we fix these terrible taillights and spoilers?

Perhaps with time they will grow on people. The SS spoiler never grew on me, it's still just awful. The 16-18 taillights grew on me, the OEM black ones at least.

I looked up that spoiler on the sticker for that car on their website. It is not the blade spoiler. It is called this:
Spoiler, decklid-mounted lip spoiler $150.00

The blade spoiler is like $800 I think.

I love the current taillights, especially the grey ones. I don't own a Camaro and hadn't checked this site since around 2013..is it a thing where you guys are used to one style and the new one looks weird? I'm thinking I don't have that reaction because I haven't been following the car the last few years.
