I like the idea but I dont like how they curve in. Maybe if it was flush from the headlight to the turn signal ,instead of taking a dip, would make it look more nice in my opinion.

Looks cool so far. I really want to see them painted first, before I ordered a set for my car

Hey thanks for checking this out!
We actually went through several design iterations before finally settling on the released product.
When attempting to see what a flat cover looked like, it just stuck out too far.
The front headlight assembly on the new Camaro has so many unique curved surfaces, it was really a trick to find the best looking cover shape that represents this font end from every viewed angle.
We hope this product will eventually grow on you.

Painted prototypes will be completed Monday 02/27. We're painting them white and headed for a local Camaro sporting the Heritage grill for a couple sneek pics.

If you need to test fit anything I'm about 15 mins away from you, but I don't have the heritage grill.

Excellent! You are right down the road from us.
We were hoping it wouldn't take too long to find local members to possibly test fit with.
Looks like we'll just need to test fit on the white convertible with the heritage grill we located @ Miller Chev in Rogers (if they don't sell it this weekend).

Thanks for the compliment!
Finished product will be available once we finish building the plastic injection mold. I'd say around 4 weeks.

Yes they will be injection molded with clear Lexan polycarbonate, then masked and body color painted around the protruding 3 style bars on the front. The back side of the 3 style bars will also be left unpainted to allow light to shine through.
Will look really cool!
