Has the 98-02 Camaro body style grown on anyone over the years?
"It looks like a catfish."
"It looks like a Chrysler Concorde."
"The headlights look like peanuts."
These are just some of the more common choice phrases I've seen get thrown around in discussions about the looks of the 98-02 Camaro over the years. And usually, whenever the topic of doing a 98+ Camaro front end conversion comes up, there always seems to be an overwhelming majority who chimes in to proclaim that the 93-97 body style looks so much better and tries to convince them not to do it.
Here's the thing though: for as popular as the looks of the 93-97 body style seems to be, why is it that you don't see more LS1 owners trading their front ends for one? The facts seem to speak otherwise. Do a quick search with the keywords "front end conversion," and you will see that the vast majority of the threads started by Camaro owners are ones asking what is necessary to convert their LT1 front end to the newer LS1 version. Something's not adding up here...
Call me crazy, but I wonder if it's possible that somewhere along the line, people may have started to appreciate the 98-02 Camaro body style but just remained silent about it for fear of ridicule from the "93-97 Majority?"
So what do you all say? Have any of you who were previously turned off by the looks of the LS1 Camaro changed your mind about it? Speak now or forever hold your peace...

I personally don't care for the looks of the LT1 year Camaros. Those ugly square headslights etc just looks like something that was designed in the 80's. IMO it just looked pieced together instead of flowing.
Now the Firebirds I still like from those years.
As for that LS1 above, why would you want a catfish with blackeyes?
