Re: Check out this 5th Gen CHOP!

i've grown to like the taillights on the concept.. that chop of them doesnt do it for me..

besides that, the two tone.. it's nothing that hasnt been done before in one of the dozens of chops made after the car was first shown in january

I really like the taillights. Its very Foose like, he sure can hire a guy to do a 2-tone paint scheme.

Nothing against the 2 tone (reminds me of the 70s RS cars) but the taillights look fine as is to me.

Eh, there's nothing too special about that chop. The car is incredible as it is.

Re: Check out this 5th Gen CHOP!

changing the taillights sorta makes the center section of that panel look wider... and the car looks really wide as it is...

I don't think I like it in the chop, but when they invariably make the production version a little narrower than the concept, pushing the lights together a bit might maintain the illusion of width...

joining the taillights completely kinda ruins the throwback to the early second gens as well as the corvette though...

getting a little bit bored with all the two-tones...

Re: Check out this 5th Gen CHOP!

a straight black with chrome wheels would be a better choice...and those taillights just don't do it for me...i like the originals better....

I like the split tail lights the way they are. Kinda second genish. The two tone paint is cool though.

By the time the Camaro returns the two-tone look will be dead.

Remember the monochrome look? That lasted what? All of about 5-8 years? The Foose Two-tone has already been overplayed and is getting stale. By 2009 it will be deader than the Chevy Cavalier.

Re: Check out this 5th Gen CHOP!

I'm not much of a Foose fan. Which probably explains why I don't like the 2-tone all that much.
