Did a little photoshop work, tried to make everything flow with the body while giving it a more modern / meaner look.

I agree on both counts. Although I don't know if the upper part of the quarter panel isn't too rounded to work something up there.

I think the double vent thing could look better, but it needed to be larger.. i tried to get the mold line in between them, while keeping the proportions right.. just more food for thought

I like option A, but IMHO I think it would only look good on a car with side skirts/GFX due to the "vent's" bottom location...

I had thought about doing something like this as well...

(crappy paint skills...lol)

McNord's first design looks nice, but without ground effects providing that horizontal line, it could look awful. Can you photoshop it onto a stock bodied Camaro?

Here's a 5th gen with a similar vent on it. Maybe some inspiration.
