I think it looks great, but I would black out the bow tie completely


Can't wait to see the ZL1

For those that love this refresh, really hope they follow through & purchase it.
That’s what I’m saying, maybe for a 2-3 year lease but not buying this and keeping it for 5+ years...

Yeah this is what in general is the problem with the car: The design was made for a Transformer. The whole front ist just a wider Version of a Transformers helmet

Completely agreed, definitely blacking out the bowtie, hopefully the 1LE already is

I was waiting to see the 2019 re-fresh before buying, and lucky for me I found a real low mileage 2017 1LE here on the forum and bought it!! So in other words....I have given it enough time and the re fresh IS NOT growing on me.

I of course love the red, but the front still doesn't do it for me. I do like the tail lights and hood changes.

Personally, I think Chevy didn't do the Camaro any favors with the refreshed front end. Earlier post has it right... Toyota Camry look alike front end

Don't care what anyone in the know says about it being too late or expensive.

The amount of time/effort/money that it would take to essentially "delete" the bowtie from the bumper mold, make a mount up on the grille, and place it there would be highly worth it.

I think a few other changes that still utilize this new design would really make it tons better, but the bowtie alone would pay dividends. It would still be a big change from the pre-refresh design and 5th gen cars.

This front end does look better to me in real life pictures than the press release photos mostly b/c you can see the depth better than in those photoshopped images. But does it look good yet? Is it growing on me?

No.

Fix it Chevy!

Yes you are correct. I grabbed the wrong pic when I posted. Very similar to the Cruze RS.
