As far as the 6th gen front end conversion; I feel it's taking it a bit too far. I'm a fan of the 6th gen but it feels like too much of a knock off. A ZL1 front bumper would be the most I could do lol

It isn’t an easy one to do. The bumper, fenders and hood all get changed. I’ve had a 97 and my 2000, the “catfish” front end looks better IMHO

I wouldn't change my early 5th Gen Camaro. As time goes by I see less and less of them
on the road. Mostly 14's up and 6th Gens. Becoming special IMO and I'm still getting
complements all the time.

This.....why change a future classic to look like something thats not all that popular? The lines of the 6th gen are nowhere near as classic looking as the 5th gen.

I kinda like the look of it. If it fit properly it would look better, but I personally would rock the zl1 bumper before this one. Even though so many people do the zl1 bumper swap lol

These cars were so mass produced it'll be another 50 years before they are classics.

Your not getting it.....so were alot of other cars. Im not talking classic regarding age. Im talking about classic as in body style. Ive said it before.... the 5th gen is the 57 chevy of Camaros. This design will be the choice of hot rodders over other gens way sooner the 50 years. It has nothing to do with mass production.

I have to agree with this.
Having said that put whatever the hell you want on YOUR car.

This is true.

I know the ZL1 fascia is currently the only one being produced, but has anyone seen a V6 version? I like that fascia better, plus I'm not tryna make my V6 look like a V8. Lol

gringo · 04-23-2019, 02:17 AM

The 5th gen front fascia, both early '10-'13 and '14-'15, looks better than any 6th gen front end. The '19 update, non SS version, doesn't look that bad, but those goofy vertical faux brake cooling ducts on the sides kind of ruin it for me.

I like that base front end too for 2019, way better looking than the SS that's for sure. The 2012 ZL1 front end is still my #1 favorite
