In 1978 GM added a new nose to the 1978 Camaro with an all new body color urethane front and rear designed to meet the new federal safety crash standard. The rear taillights were also redesigned, with 3 color lenses with the fuel door in the center.
The Camaro now offered five models including, Rally Sport, Type-LT, Type-LT Rally Sport, Sport Coupe, and Z28. T-tops were now available on all models.
