I wouldnt say that until you see the pictures... if I could find them, its bad ***.

I think that looks slick! Very cool mod. I espcially like how you left the surrounding parts black to tie in with your berger panel.

I think they look at home there. It gives the rear a way more attractive look.

That car belongs to a dude named Whistler. He pissed off a lot of people at CZ28 after he had a 40 page thread going about how he was going to produce these for people but then when the time came to come through with the goods he vanished. Ive been on most of these LS1 boards long enough to see if theres some dude promising to make any sort of panels, 95% of the time hes just talking out of his ***. The other 5% will make 3 or 4 then realize hes in over his head and bail out. Seen it happen time and time again, but still suckers keep lining up in droves.

Just what we need, someone to mass produce something so everybody with a Camaro will buy one! I wish every Camaro looked different from every other.

Cool mod but, I think it takes away some of the Camaro's historic character. But, WTF… I'm a purist.

I agree! The size of the lights just look way too big for that, its out of proportion.

I don't really care for it myself, and would never do it... but if you like it then go for it. You certainly will have a different look than most camaro's in your area!!!
