Maintaining the original appearance of a 1970–1981 Camaro means using high-quality replacement parts. From restoring a factory-correct model to creating a unique build, sourcing reliable exterior components is key.

Common exterior parts that may require replacement include:

• Body Panels: Quarter panels, fenders, and door skins can rust or damage over time. Properly fitted replacements help maintain structural integrity and factory aesthetics.
• Trim and Moldings: Chrome and stainless steel trim pieces accentuate the car’s body lines. Over time, these parts may tarnish or fall off. That’s why replacements are necessary for an authentic look.
• Grilles and Bumpers: The front-end design plays a significant role in the identity of a vehicle. New grilles and bumpers can restore the aggressive styling of the original Camaro.
• Lighting Components: Headlights, taillights, and side markers enhance visibility and safety. Upgraded or factory-style replacements keep the Camaro roadworthy and accurate to its era.
