Default Convertible Camaros Ugly?

Is it just me or are Convertible LT1/LS1 Camaros the most unattractive convertible? I love the look of 98-02 Camaros, but throw a saggy soft top on it and I really don't like to look at them. With the top down its fine, but up blehhhhhhhh. Also the color matches are just horrible I think, every color with black... weird colors with tan. I don't know maybe I am crazy. I wish these cars had retractable hardtops, guess thats why they have ttops.

Obviously I know vert owners will like verts, don't get offended I just want to see if anyone else feels like this.

funny thing is alot of people have never even noticed that my car was a vert so obviously it cant be that ugly compared to a hard or t-top car. I think alot of it has to do with the color combo..for instance a dark colored car with a black top will look good but a tan or white top really sticks out.

I don't think they are really that ugly. I really liked my dad's 96 vert.





But of course it was a MINT 20k mile car when he sold it last year. Flawless. Wasn't a bad *** car by any means, but it was a "nice" car. It was just that the LT1 couldn't keep up anymore, and he didn't want to mod such a fine original. He sold the car, then the next owner took it to Barrett-Jackson and sold it for $18k. Badges were on it when he got it BTW. We put stock ones back on.

But oddly enough, the wheels look more badass on my T/A, and look "okay" on the Camaro?

This thread is going to **** alot of ppl off but...
IMO i think the convertible F-bodys and vetts are not as aggressive looking with top down or up as the hard tops.

Yeah, well that's what people do when they're f**king jealous. This reminds me of some queer a few weeks ago who was talking s**t about T/A's: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-l...-trans-am.html

As long as it doesn't have a white hard top on any color other than white then to me the are just as nice as the hard tops. I do however think they look best with the SAP.
