Default Just a thought on the new camaro

I love the new camaro, but i am not too big of a fan of the front lights. I would love to see a light kit like the old '67 rally's that had the hidden light assembly, I think it would look pretty badass, just wondering what your guys thoughts are on it, and maybe a photoshop expert can come up with a rendering of some sort.

It indeed would look bad ***, and it does on the photoshops I've seen.

Such as this:



However, I think this will be left to the aftermarket due to it being the type of thing that would likely cause alot of warranty claims.

In the 4th Gen Firebird, the top two warranty claims were:
1. Power antenna
2. Headlight motors

....the exact reason why Camaro had neither.
