Ok, I usually have a hard time explaining myself when it comes to appearance but here goes. Does anybody besides me find the front of these Camaros a little irksome at some angles? I think it comes from the lack of visual height at the front of the bumper and the "open mouth syndrome" with the grille. I highlighted a picture from another thread that illustrates my point somewhat (I've seen worse).
I think the mod that would make the best change would one that somehow made the frontend look taller (chin spoiler/bigger grille opening?) and make it so the nose doesn't stick out so far visually. The foglights fit well, but the openings could stand to be a little taller. If I were a photoshop guru I'd be on this too, but I'm not so yea. Ahhh, if only they all came looking like the Harrel cars....

well the two post in the grill or prop sticks as you all nicely put it..are an attempt to give it a unique look kinda like a vampire or snake...yea i know it might look better without them , but then it would just be the harrel bumper with bigger brake vents or fog light holes.. not really unique. And the tint on the lights are another unique design i thought of to give the car a more pissed off look then than the stock lights wich are not that agressive to the eye. Thanks for everyones compliments and comments very appreciated!

That last pic, although appealing, first struck me as a blood sucking tick or something of the sort. 
I have liked a few, and disliked a few, but i dont see everyone's gripe with the factory bumper...

Me neither. Add a lip and 'tis even better. Only problem I have with it is that its front overhang is too long, but whatever, that's not the design of it lol.
I really like the lip on the Dick Harris one though.

See, that's one of the reasons I chosse the T/A over the camaro, that and the seats. I wasn't happy with how the front end looked and thought the seats didn't fit nearly as well as the Trans Am's.
But I will agree with all of you that there are not enough options for us f-body guys who want to change body appearance.
