Default Can you say... WOW sweet pics...

OK, you thought those purported press photos of the new Camaro convertible for 2011 were wild? Check these out. These shots, again from the always-willing-to-market-themselves folks at Camaro5, appear to be of the new Chevy Camaro we saw teased in that GM accessory video yesterday afternoon — body kit, ground effects and all. While we're still not sure of the veracity of these shots — especially the photo of the Camaro from behind with the chrome on the wheels all a-gleamin' — they look somewhat credible. Now as to whether or not they look good? That's up to you, the commentariat. So — what say you? Is it real or is it Adobe-rex?

Body Kit Says What?

Ugly as sin, i'd compare to almost as ugly as the GT-R

Only decent looking parts are the stripes and grill/headlights

the rear wing sucks, it needs one like the nascar one that is about 8 inches high. I do not want a dam COT nascar style wing so I can eat lunch next to the trunk.

I really like it. Wing needs to go back to concept "duck fin" type similar to first gens. Few other things I dont like about the kit but it's not terrible. I really like the grill/headlights.

It has some good qualities, some bad. The first gen Camaro had a molded spoiler design, and they should stay true to that.

I'm not 100% sure I would define these as "Sweet", but I wouldn't call it rice, either. I'm just hoping that you can do the kit in a single-tone.

The kit on that is clay, hence the different color. These are just prototypes of parts that are going to be offered as accessories to the camaro. I hope the original concept spoiler makes it on over this...Someone will make them I'm sure. Even if the grille is cardboard i'm sure it's a good representation hopefully of what the OEM one will be (hopefully, since the current ones driving around have pretty ugly grille's).

This is just a preliminary mock-up of accessories that may or may not be available when the car comes out.

Nothing you see that's an add-on will be factory.

Well, that will cause me to rethink the whole "fully loaded SS" when they come out. I don't want any of that stuff, unless it makes the car go faster. Seeing as this is a Camaro and not a Civic, I don't think any of that stuff will be beneficial. To each their own though.
