These pics are of my first "Very Rough" draft of an idea another member drew up sometime last year. Next, I'm going to make up a bust for each side and vacuform lenses that will fit properly.

The tape will be replaced by painted grooves (like stock grids),
the flashlight bulbs with real bulbs, or maybe a led array (havn't decided yet.) The farthest inside black pieces are gone, License plate will be moved, and the space between will have a backlit 'camaro' panel similar to the one 4th gens have. Havn't decided what to do with the reverse lights yet.
I'm going to do a set of the deep red transparent lenses, and another of smoked gray (will use red bulbs).

I'll post pics as I go along.

that's freakin awesome

you kick azz

 

looks perrty cool, wounder how it would look on camaros tho...

 

Found the concept drawing. 3 days of searching for it and it was in my pictures folder the whole time lol

 

Might be a bit much on the red side heh.

 

This kid my buddy knows got pulled over a few nights ago becuz he had some modded up taillights, and the cop whent a-wall on him
"THIS IS NOT D.O.T APPROVED!!!" and something about the head lights too... lol and got some big fine...

 

that 3gen with 4gen camaro symbol on back looks pretty neat. Those are gonna be some REDDDDDDD tail lights. and just a suggestion, they might be dark cause of the red light, you can brighten them by just using white lights again. but I don't know, see how they look and post some pics. you look like you could be done soon.

 

If you use the stock lenses, how can they know if they are dot approved?

IF you use them, I mean.

 

It's actually etched on your tailights. So they can bust you for it. Looks good though.

 

Interesting idea...I'd like to see you follow three. Although I'm thinking they look a little too much like current Mustang lights. Nevertheless your whole idea with the center piece sounds awsome. Definitely keep us updated.

 

hey gta4me... do you have any subs? I was just wondering if the notchback helps with bass rattles or rigidity of the car.

 

Not yet, I have a pesky water leak in the back that I can't seem to track down.

 

I like how the notchback looks, but I bet it adds more weight to the car, and makes it less aerodynamic...

 

No way! The notch weighs half as much as a standard hatch. It also eliminates the common "greenhouse effect" you get with a regular hatch. I love my notchback!

 

cool, I don't see how its lighter... only that maybe its made out of fiberglass? But I would bet money that a sub sounds great in there.

 

More.. weight.. than that giant.. thick.. obscene.. chunk of glass... no, I'm sorry, the concept just doesn't compute.

 

Exactly. Less glass = less weight.

 

which concept? the sub sounding great? the fact that I didn't know it weighed less? the lack of the greenhouse effect? hehe what?

I still wonder if anyone's got subs in there. It most likely ruins the reflection angle back to your ears (if they are upward-facing subs), but the rigidity of that area would greatly reduce rattles, and thats okay in my book.
