Sure.....everything from the grill to the windshield, I dislike, although the hood is ok.....
Overall, the car looks like a Camaro that needs to go on a diet! A little porky looking, to what should be a sleek car.
Just MHO.

I guess I'll take the country road and say I like it It's different and the grill looks kinda weird but I wouldn't think twice about not getting one if I had the chance!

the ZZ's on the side need to be changed... don't remove them, just a smaller or flattened font

Thanks for the input guys ! !

- Front grill inspired by the Stratus Touring car, (retaining the big mouth design would allow 2 front mounted Cold Air Intakes / Single Intercooler)

- Hood inspired by the SuperSport, Z style, and Ultra Z style hoods, with a more sleek / integrated design (design would allow both functional engine cooling and heat extraction at speed)

- Fully INTEGRATED bodykit (not a expensive option) inspired by the Callaway Supernatural C8, and HPI Nitro Camaro (would allow functional front brake cooling ducts, design allows for a stealth appearance without having to slam the car for a aerodynamic appearance/function, design also allows the car to be low and stealth yet not scrape the front on everything...)

- Headlamps modified to a more stealth design (concept would be 6000k HID as a standard safety feature)

- Removed keyholes (keyless entry would be so reliable that manual keyholes would no longer be needed, trunk would still have manual keyhole, and a switch inside, in the RARE event of a freeze up, which would trigger the door locks)

- Smaller door handles, with modified angle (to maintain sleek lines)

- All body lines smoothed, with only Minimized / Functional seams.

- Larger H4 6000k HID Fog lamps / DRL

- Turn Signals with small amber corners with otherwise crystal clear housings

- Engine would be Supercharged or LPE Turbo charged and LS6 based

- Wheels would be 19" standard with 30/35 series tires, modified rear and very mild fender roll. (Optional 20" wheels on the rear)

- Stiff spring rates but with standard Fully Adjustable QA1 shocks

- Gear ratios and rearend strength would be completely optimized for the N/A VS. the Turbo / Supercharged model, BUT would be a factory option. Engine would be modified to reliably handle 15-18psi but to bring HP ratings down would only have 6-8psi on the showroom floor.
