I know it's hard to be different and come up with different ideas for a '69 Camaro.

But for resale value stick as close to original as possible.

Here's a perfect example of a builder trying to be different and ruining the classic look of the original style:


So to answer your question, I wouldn't do it.

thanks for all the imput guys. just something that crossed my mind.

if I would do it I would go with GTR lights, because of the offsett diameter but will keep the mod as subtle as possible. the convertible does not look good at all.

but for now its just a thought..


thanks

No beating around the bush here.....I don't like it. Not one lil bit.

I do however like you quick mock up.

When I was trying to decide on a car project I had ideas about getting a Camaro and switching to round taillights to imitate a 72-74 Cuda. I ended up buying a 73 Cuda. As other's said I haven't seen a Camaro with round tail lights that I really liked. Perhaps look at using Cuda lights if your set on it, I haven't heard of anyone trying them out. I think the sculpting in the tail panel around the Cuda's lights helps them look right.

I am now really liking the square/rectangle tail lights of the earlier Cuda's and Camaro's. The grass is always greener.

I'm not digging it as well. Those lights do look good on the Corvettes and GTR's.

I'm generally not a fan of drastic aesthetic changes on classic cars, so I personally do not like them. Do what you like best though!

empty coolers have no other use around here.
