I'm certainly no expert, in fact I've never done this before. But I removed alittle bulk from the Camaro's nose with a simple paint program.

I think it looks better. In fact, I think it looks WAY better. Just me though.



This one with debulked lower fascia and hood:



Original:

 

Which is which?


You cut of some of the lower fascia and smothed out the hoodscoop?

 

Yes. The bottom of the front fascia is trimmed and the scoop is smoothed out.

The first one is debulked one.

 

I duuunnooo...I think the cowl looks better.

I think different paint/light, really de-bulks it enough for me.

 

Sorry Charlie, like the pre-pro better. But for the record, I never met a Camaro that, IMO, did not look better with a cowl induction hood (functioning or not).

 

Another thread Ill laugh about once we see the car in person. Everyone is talking about all this "bulk" and havent even see the car in person! keep it the way it is and for God sake how the hell can you cut out the cowl hood on a pony car!?!?!?

 

Okay, debulked nose with cowl hood:





Actually, once the lower fascia is debulked, I think I like it better with the cowl hood too.

 

Another thing, your looking at the picture from an angle, where you cut the front bumper would look stupid from a side shot since now the lower part of the bumper is higher than the side skirts.........

 

Yeah, I know. But try and use your imagination and pretend that it wouldn't. I don't know, the original just looks like it's got a big hemmorhoid or labia hanging from it.


Maybe it's just the angle, but hey what the heck, this is the angle GM chose for us.

 

I have to agree with tricked-out-toy. Its the low level camera angle that makes it look bulky. Charlie is there anything you actually like about this Camaro.

 

At the risk of encouraging you to brow beat me - yes some things. And I'll spare you the rolling eyes.

 

Two-tone!! That's my suggestion to your thickness gripe with the bulk perception

A lot of new cars nowadays look thicker as the manufacturers are pulling the body down lower. Makes the car look heavier. I think it helps with the aerodynamics. It's evident on their full size trucks as well, if you put any of the current GMT900s wheels on it's predecessors (88-06) you can see how huge the tire/wheels look on the older models as oppose to it being on the new truck.

 

Maybe they could just paint the front valance similar to the rear, to visually "debulk" it for those who want it that way?

 

OK, I don't agree with you, but that sh*t is funny!

 

looks fine how it came to me.
