Default Camaro with C8 Corvette styled tail lights

Figured this would be a good share since the Camaro is like the big brother to the MC, and I know there are a few Camaro owners here too.

I think all of this kind of stuff you've been posting is good to share in OT. Helps keep forum discussion alive when the other sections are slow. For many years near the end, the most popular section on ClubGP was OT as there was such a good discussion/ topics.

I think these lights look really good. I also think even the stock lights look nice though so it doesn't feel like a massive upgrade to me. Certainly nice to have something different though. The only 5th/6th gen taillights I dont like at all are the ~2015ish near solid rectangles. Everything else is at least a bit visually interesting / unique.

I'm perhaps also a bit odd though in not recognizing these taillights automatically as 'corvette taillights'. To me its not like the c4/5/6 lights that very uniquely corvette and would stick out like a sore thumb on any other car. These C8 style lights look like they could've come stock on the Camaro as well.

Thanks man. I know we're MC enthusiasts, but the main thing we all have in common is that we're Chevy people.

I love the OT stuff because it does keep some interest here. The lights look good to me and honor my favorite Camaro model. I simply dream of new stuff for the MC, or try to find simple ways to improve on my own.

Thanks for the link. I am searching for it for my best buddy. I was searching for the retail store business plans online and when I was looking for them on google search, I have found your post link in which I have found tail lights for my friend.

I find this actually pretty funny. I feel the C7 Corvette updated the early 5th Gen Camaro tail lights. After the C7 came out, GM re-styled the 5th Gen Camaro (part of that was the tail lights, which personally I like the earlier 5th gen tail lights). Now these aftermarket tail light swap outs claiming to be C8 style tail lights, in my book is doing what GM should have done with the Camaro tail lights.

The 3rd Gen Camaro had after market tail lights to resemble the Corvette tail lights of the time (I did not like those ones, the factory 3rd gen Camaro tail lights were great for the car, with a couple slight changes over the years).

But, it is nice to have the aftermarket community supply us with options!
