I saw a late 60s early 70s Monte Carlo with those tips. Didn't really care for it, pretty lame IMO.

Do not get the bowtie tips! Not for a Camaro!

I bought a pair for my Camaro and after a while I had to go back and remove them. I paid an exter 50 bucks to have them removed and install another tip, plus the new tips.

Also I wouldn't put 2.5 inch tips again on my car, performace draps with 2.5 tips.

Again, I had those exact same tips, and from experiance they don't belong on an LS1 and the sound is changed a bit with the bowtie tips.

I've seen them on many cars. From farther than 3 feet away, they just look like the tips are crushed. Looks dumb IMO.

All I ever see them on is broke-down trucks and old POS cars. They just look too cheap for a F-body.

Man, ya'll are harsh! I have them on my car, they came on it. I personally don't like em and I'm taking them off or cutn em down. If you like them then you should get em and not care about the opinions.

Just my 2¢

My dad and i test drove that car a couple of months ago when it was at teh chevy dealership...my dad said its at another one now.

It had a bad grind on a WOT shift. Also the hood was cracked. Found out who previously owned it a while back, and he had a couple of small wrecks in the car. NICE looking car from 20 feet though!!!!!!!!

My dad juuuustt about bought it too.
