Re: Whats different about this camaro?

I encourage something different but honestly I don't care for it at all. It looks way to plain with everything shaved. I can see doing the door handles but the lights I think they should of left alone. Just my opinion.

Re: Whats different about this camaro?

oh yeah i agree about the lights but have you ever seen one like this in real life? wonder if anyone took it that far?
----------
could you put the lights under the original headlight buckets and be legal if you did this to a camaro and knew the ultimate body man to do it?

Re: Whats different about this camaro?

To each his own I guess. Personally I am not a fan or shaved handles and such mostly because I don't want to be dependant on an electrical device to get in my car. I really don't like the headlight thing though. As far as legal goes, you would have to check with your lacal laws. I don't think moving the lights would be an issue as much as how close to the ground they are. California has a minimum height for how far off the ground the headlights need to be, and I would be willing to bet your state does too.

Looks like it WANTS to be an early 4thgen bird. Unique? Yes. Nice? Not IMO.

I like the shaved look but they forgot the antenna. I'd go with 18's instead of those 20's. And I'd go with clear headlight covers versus modifying the front end like that.

Shave only the ugly locks, not the door handles. Shave the ugly antenna. Hide the antenna behind the dash. Shaved door handles are not track legal. If your keyless remote ever fails for the shaved locks, you open the hatch then crawl through the trunk. Not sure if you can crawl through the trunk of a vert. Anyways, thats my suggestion.

Re: Whats different about this camaro?

Can't 20 inch chrome irocs just DIE already???!!

The shaved head lights seem like a lot of work for something that will no doubt be mistaken for black out covers, neither of which I particularly care for.

As for shaving the rest, looks great but as mentioned there's a lot of issues with that.

Has anyone done C6 style cutouts and mounted small mechanical handles inside instead of a pressure switch?? now THAT would be sweet.
