Wow, I'm surprised so many people like this, I would never have bought a 4th gen Trans Am if they all looked like this.
I don't like ALL of it, just the center outlet, ROUND exhaust, especially for a Camaro, in order to eliminate the 'hillbilly/cowboy pickup' dual chrome pipes coming out at an angle from under the bumper look.
It is the ONLY alternative to my set up (big single, black painted, 'dump' style turn down, tucked up almost out of sight) which I like for a rear bumper exhaust exit on a 4th gen Camaro.
IF the diffuser is actually functional, that is not too bad either.

I am one of those who prefers the "hillbilly pickup" dual pipes on opposite sides BUT, I also like a nice header style turndown(s) tucked under the bumper as you have described.
The only setup that I hate for these cars is center outlet exhaust, especially the CME that everyone on this site loves so much.
anybody remember that awful red camaro with the body kit and exhaust running up through the trunk? had 4 holes in the panel that said camaro on it that the exhuast came out of...
so Ill ask the question .......where does the L plate go?

Agree with both posts. The bird looks pretty riced out.
well nothing out of the norm is "real" in that pic, but with enough time and money any of it COULD be real, you could get a set of the clear lenses from 6le and black out all but those 2 circles then have custom built LED panels put in behind, while you have the lenses off, you could remove the T/A rear wing, fill the holes in the hatch and add one of those RICER wings and you could add the 6le diffuser and cut out the license plate area and fab up the exhaust to resemble that photoshop, now whether you should do any of that is up for debate. perhaps you should make it clear exactly what you like about this photoshop.
but then your getting dangerously close to making your trans am look like this

The thing I like is the taillights, everything else I didn't even notice the first time I saw the pic. But the taillights would be pretty cool.

if you want round tail lights get a corvette, the problem with round lights on the TransAm is all that black plastic left out in the open, it just doesn't fit the style of the car, lights designed like the newest chargers would be a better fit, but then again I personally love the honeycombs, i've had people that didn't know better think they where aftermarket lights because of how good they look.
^^^ lol I got a SS, if I had money for a corvette I would surely get one and I think the majority of people here would agree. That doesn't necessarily mean that the circle tail lights dont look good on the Trans am. It does somewhat flow well with the reverse light being round. I also like the Honeycombs. Its just nice to see something different that doesn't look absolutely terrible.

There are at least a few of us who like our F-bodies enough to keep them even though we can afford more expensive cars. Having said that, there are some very cheap Corvettes with round tail lights. If you can afford a 4th gen SS, you can easily afford an L98 C4. You are then just an LSx swap away from equal or better performance as your 4th gen and with stock round tail lights.

FWIW, I like stock round tail lights but this setup looks pretty terrible IMO.
