I agree with GuionM on the headlights, i think the "flush mounted" headlights need to be ditched and the recessed ones come back. thats one styling item that seems to scream "Camaro".

And also the steering wheels on the late third gens and all 4th gens should be chucked. they're not bad, but i think Chevy should integrate the actual Camaro symbol into the wheel like the mid to late 80's third gen three spokes. those wheels were good looking IMO.

 

Yes, the Z28/IROC steering wheel was great. I have the square in my 89 and it is lousy, don't like the 90-02 wheels either. The 3 spoke round center needs to come back. Some cars have them again already.

Some things I don't want on the 5th gen: (styling)

- 4th Gen looks. (LOL, j/k, I had to guys, don't go crazy on me )
- That square shift ****, I like the round 1's like early Thirds.
- Hoods that are not functional.
- Rims that are too big.
- Body intergration.
- Black roofs and mirrors.
- Painted tailpipes.
- LS1 headlights.
- A windshield that is way too raked.
- Spoliers that are too big like 91-92 Z28s.
- Basically any styling that is plain, not tough, boring, all-round, bland, generic, Chrysler, or something that doesn't make people look and say "wow!!" or "Camaro."


Some things that I WANT to see on the 5th Gen:

- IROC looking shape with similar fender flares that show the wide tires all the time.
- All-black, mean looking dash.
- Cowl hoods.
- Maybe an SS style based hood.
- Chrome angle cut tips.
- Stripes of ANY kind, unless they are overdone like the later 2nd Gen. (good examples are 1st/early 2nd stripes, 82-84 Z28 and IROC lower body stripes or 92 Anniversary cars.
- Rims that look incredible and will always look good. (like 16" IROC's and early Z28 rims)
- A 3 piece spoiler sized inbetween the 2nd Gen Z28 and Third Gen IROC style.
- Hatchback.
- Angular but rounded lines/looks.
- Nice visable emblems.
- T-tops that have metal black painted edges unlike the plastic 4th Gen look.
- Aggressive but not overdone GFX.
- License plate in between taillights.
- Nice round gauges, especially Tach and Speedometer.
- Recessed, black painted headlight pockets.

I just want to add BTW, that the 4th Gen could have benefitted alot from stripes since it was the only Gen that really didn't have any available regularly. Some1 here put 1st Gen SS stripes on his LT1, (the kind that go from the front, to the fender, then the door) and it definetly made it look better and a little more aggressive. Some dude here also put a 3 piece 70 Z28 style spolier on his 1st Gen and it looks really good. What am I saying?? Make sure you stay with the wrap around taillight/spoiler look.
