I hate the 5th Gen rear end, this bumper kit looks better in back, not sure how I feel anout the rest though.

Doesn't do a thing for me. IMO the tailights are what is wrong with the fith gen rear.

:agree: with Jeff 100%........gonna take more than a couple of stick-on looking chrome bumpers to make the new Camaro look right, especially the rear end!!

Ditto. That rear bumper looks out of place with the rest of the rear and look dumb. :clink:

Have the nose run straight across just like a 69 does, offer the RS option too and toss in a couple of 69 tail lights and rear spolier and now you got something worth buying!!

After you do all that you might as well buy a 69.

Maybe but it would cost a bunch o money to make a true 69 perform like a new one that looks like a 69. In the end will prolly cost about the same.

I don't mind the front end, or the back end, or in between.
Just wish it was made in the US.
Jus' sayin'
