Colored headlight area in 5th Gen??
 

Since the 1st Gen to the LT1 4th Gen's, Camaros have had some way of blacking out their headlight area or pockets. 1st Gens had the RS option. The 2nd, Third, and half of the 4th Gen had blacked out headlight pockets on top models/Z28's. IMO they are great looking and distinctive, and the LS1's would have benefitted from them also. To me a 5th Gen should have them again definetly. What do you guys think??

:) :cool:

I think the factory blacked out headlights on my Mustang look great.

Nope. Hate that black treatment. IMO it's just a leftover 70's styling cue. I specifically ordered mine with the body colored roof and headlight pockets. *shrug* FWIW I'm not a fan of the blacked out hood scoop area on the 35th either.

I really liked the look of the blacked out headlight area on my 3rd gen, and I liked the way it looked on the lt1 4th gen. I also really liked the look of the 4th gens with the black roof area.

I think it depends on the car itself...

I like the way the black pockets looked on all the Camaros that had them, but to be honest, if the blacked out around the LS1 headlights, it would have looked out of place and just plain bad...

So, it's hard to say without seeing what the front end looks like before hand.

I agree. This is what it would look like: http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/appea...ellowblack.jpg

Excessive blacking out is a styling crutch from the '70s.

I never liked the two tone black roof on the 4th gen either.

Hey, I have a black top and I'm getting my back panel painted black. :P

Me neither. It just looks, well, weird to me

that looks like eyeliner.:D

Blacked out headlight pockets/area was on the 1stgens too and as someone mentioned 93-97s had them.That yellow 4thgen looks good with the black headlight pockets.

actually on Yellow cars the blackout looked good :D I liked it..but maybee not on like blue cars or green...???:confused:

I liked it on the LT1s but when I had mine (the silver one) I wished I could do something else with them so they wouldn't be black but I didn't like how they looked silver either. I'm glad I don't have that problem now.

To me the top model cars just don't look right without it. Gives that Lamborghini look. :) Yeah the LS1 front headlights and pockets are wierd shaped but IMO in that picture with them painted it looks better. Some1 else around here with a new Z28 or SS did the same thing. Anytime you can accent a car with some black, especially a red car, it just looks great.

I have to say I never liked black roofs though.

:D I have a red Z and I'm getting the back panel painted black, getting a black billet grille and getting black stripes.

I thought everybody liked the black top though. Oh well. I love it. :confused:
