ok, so wait a minute.

They thru these away why? because they were damaged or something?

Why not just take 30 seconds and a sledge hammer to them?

Just seems that if they wanted to keep it a secret, they would have.

I'm betting somebody did some dumpster diving at the headlight supplier.

So....how much did YOU pay for them? Are they damaged facias? If not, then 1 of 3 things have taken place here:

1) you work closely with or for GM and Chevrolet Eng team. You have 4 of them you say. To get your hands 4 is not what I call "lucky" at ALL!

2) You know someone who does and you bought them or was given them to "hide" because the leaker would be in deep shit.

3) GM has paid you to keep your mouth shut, but surprisingly, they haven't taken the facias back!

You respect an auto company who doesn't give 2 shits who you are? (if you're not affiliated with them in ANY way)



They'd be on the net or I would be compensated for keeping it hush.

Background story on me is i'm a college kid going to school in Michigan and have a dream to work for GM one day. If I even thought about showing a pic my dream would be crushed. I have also been in the automotive surplus parts business for several years, this is how I acquired these parts.

A couple of months ago one of my suppliers sends me a pic of a bumper saying it's a 2014 bumper and asked if I would be interested in it? If not he would of put it on ebay to sell them on there. Knowing what they were and mixed with my extreme enthusiasm for Camaro I bought these bumpers for one purpose only TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF THIS CAR! GM has done such a good job keeping it protected I could not let a parts leak like this blow its cover. People argue it's only one part but it still shows what the front would look like. I still to this day will not post a picture and am not being paid at all by GM to keep it private. I am doing this solely because I am a passionate enthusiast and I respect this car very much and the people working on it! This car also means alot to me as the 5th gen played a big role in my lifestyle. SO if any of you are looking for a pic you will all just have to wait until the reveal to see this monster of a car!

Don't you think just by posting that you have 4 2016 front fascias in your dorm room would be enough to crush your dream. I mean you shouldn't even be in possession of them.

You better watch out for the Black Suburbans.

Your name wouldn't happen to be Brian Williams by any chance.

Seems like to me if you wanted to work for GM here was a prime opportunity to make friends. I would have contacted someone in the Camaro program to report you had acquired the parts and wanted to be sure they were not leaked. Wouldn't ask for compensation but more like a favor down the road, or at least a recommendation.

In no way am I violating anything with these bumpers. It's their fault they got out, they should be happy that I got a hold of them because if someone else found them they would of been released by now. I know multiple camaro team members. My connections and friends that I already have would of went down the drain if I showed anything.

Take a picture right now with them and a newspaper. Then, when it is released, reveal them and be forgiven.

Or be forever branded.

Where it gets ugly is they will want to know more than you are likely willing to tell them. It's not that you have them or your good intentions. They will want to know how they got in your possession and what lapse in process set them free into the real world. Was it a supplier? Or worse was it a GM employee responsible.
