I see two things under the cover,

1) the door handle.

2) the hip.

Hope none of the optional wheels are compareable in uglyness to the late 4th gen wheels. Not the 5spoke or the split 5spoke, the other one, on base models.

one of the car rags stated hide-away lights (after market) should be introduced at the 2009 sema show..you may get your wish

I'm dying to see the whole GFX package they've designed for the 5th Gen. I won't even buy one without the GFX, to me GFX enhance almost every car they're put on. (Assuming they're not over the top like so many of the young guys put on their Japanese cars...)

I feel quite the opposite about the 4th Gen's GFX. I always thought the 4th Gen's looked pretty bland without them. The GFX made the 4th Gen's look immensely(sp?) more agressive.

That spoiler in the video, imo, just adds to the powerful looking profile of the 5th Gen. Can't wait to see exactly what it looks like.

Good stuff. Aftermarket companies in general are gonna jump all over the new Camaro but its great to see GM leading the way producing factory stuff. Its worked so well for Ford with the Mustang, its a no brainer.

And for the record, that guy has a pretty sweet job

I'd like to see the aftermarket for this car be the size that the mustang has always enjoyed

After seeing the actual pictures of what they have made in the other thread...he doesn't seem to be very good at his job, or there are a lot of pissed off civic owners that work for him.

The only thing I saw that was "rice" was the wing, what else are you refering to? even the wing while its not my taste IS similar to the one on my 91...... I guess civic owners must have designed that to.......

I know Scott hate the wing but at least he understands that the accessory group has to put out stuff that more than just you or me would want. To cut out a large part of your target market is stupid....

I don't really care for any of it, but especially: huge wing (third gen z28 wasn't bad, this might look a little better if it was connected at the ends), single hood strip (why is it longer on one side? is it just tape right now?), hockey stripes (never cared for them), and the wheels =

I don't like body kits on anything really, the rear valence looks alright and the black between the taillights. If the grille looks like the painted cardboard they show there, it will be nice.
