ORANGE 5TH GEN SS LS3 spotted

[nascarnate326]

Bla, those cars should HAVE to be clean.

Nice to see Hugger Orange though, we see the same colors all the time it seems like.

no one else thinks the front end on that looks fugly

im with you. wannabe hideways = nasty.

[MP81]

I like the front end. Looks nice. I just noticed it.

Wish they'd paint the GFX...

And to someone else who said it's not his car, It has manufacturer plates so it's not his for sure. I think their FUGLY. I Love the LS series engines 1, 3, 6, 7 hell any number that follows LS is great, but that car is not attractive.

[JoeliusZ28]

overall I like it but here are my specific observations:

1) I like that the grille DOES NOT have a bowtie in the middle. Also that it is recessed deeper, or at least appears to be. I do not like that it looks like a snout due to the narrowness of "double headlights" where one is a fake hideaway.

2) hood accent and hockey stripes look great on it

3) GFX looks awesome - i like them the color they are.

4) stripes on the side of the trunk look totally random and out of place, id peel them off. Would look cooler with a black spoiler and a berger panel.

5) the yellow on the engine im sure is just whatever part they had on the shelf. I wouldnt be worried about yellow engine covers on non-yellow cars

6) this:

i thought it looked better then the stock look, thats just not my cup of tea, Then again everyone has there own opinion

#1 turn of the ****ing whiper blades before you get out of a car. Pet p
#2 I don't like the hood and truck stripes with the hockey stripes. 1 or the other.
#3 The yellow sux!

[Phantom409]

That color is sweet

The Yellow covers are kind of funky though.

[Z28ISGR8]

Holy F****** S***. I must have that car. That thing is awesome.

[twoolley08]

bumble bee looks better!

[Lucky SOB]

yeah i think double stripes down the hood look better. the hockey stripe just isnt right. the GFX looks mean as hell! and i agree with joel on the grille. looks SOOOO much better without the bow-tie on there!

[meissen]

Wow - now that's impressive! That's the vehicle that they threw together to show "on vehicle" examples of the factory add-ons you can do.

The engine cover can be painted to match the body and was painted yellow because the car that they usually show that cover on is the yellow SS.

Very cool to see some "REAL" photos of the heritage grill. The prototype pics that were leaked awhile ago made it look like it was just paper or something, so seeing the real thing was cool - wish there was more detail shots of it though as I have not seen the heritage grill on any 5th gens on the road yet.

I'm really surprised they did the hockey stripe like that. Previous hockey stripe pics did not have that break and while I understand they did it because of the two panels, gar it doesn't look good. I'd take black touchup paint to it just to make it look like one piece.

Trunk stripes look random because it was a prototype stripe design.

The single hood scoop stripe and hockey stick stripes come together, it's not one or the other. The other option is to have rally stripes. So you either get one stripe with the hockey stick or you get two stripes with no hockey stick.

Nice looking car!! Not a fan of the ground effects that arnt body colored.. I noticed they dont even offer them in body color.. Weird.

[WMCC Doug]

This is obviously a "demonstrator" car to showcase the GM Accessories that are available from GM. First off, I am a big fan of the 5th Gen Camaro, so the comments I make are not about liking the car or not, only about the accessories.

I think the ground effects look ok, but would look a lot better painted body color. That would be something you can have your dealer do when they install them.

The grill looks ok, too. But again, I think the surround part that's silver would look better painted body color. The silver just does not go with the black/orange theme this car has. Again, something for the dealership to do when it's installed. It should have an "SS" badge in the center of the grille.

There's something about the hockey stripes that leaves me a little wanting. Definately don't like the gap between the fender portion and the front facia part of the stripe. I'm thinking if it said "LS3" right in front of the side marker, and the stripe continued below the side marker light just a bit (even with that line at the edge of the facia) it would "finish" off the hockey stripe look. I also think the stripe goes a couple of inches too far back on the door. I think it ends too close to the rear edge of the door.

I know the single hood stripe comes in the kit with the hockey stripes, but I think I might consider having the dealership leaving the hood stripe off and just go with the hockey stripes on the fenders. The hood and fender stripes together seems a little too much. Either one or the other would look better than both together.

I have no idea what they are trying to do on the rear deck lid with those stripes. There should just be one stripe to match the hood stripe, or none at all.

It will be very interesting to see just what people do with these cars when there gets to be more of them around. I'll bet the regular aftermarket will be putting out a ton of accessories for these car as well.
