Their products are built to last. I'll never put DSS product in my car.
I have use Gforce in the past and had great luck with them.

I've been going since it started. I have a buddy with a 2002 Z28 who moved from up here & lives in the city the show is, so I visit & we take the cars to the track.

Ok, so everyone knows about the mechanics fender guards when your working under the hood. Does anyone know of a company that makes custom ones that i could put on the window sills of the car for car shows. Just that one extra thing to put your logo on and keep idiots with belt buckles from scratching anything.

Recently Ordered my 2013 2SS. First Camaro since I traded my 1980 Z28 w/ T-Tops in for a Silverado Step Side Mark III some 20 years ago. Before that, I had a '68 Camaro I sold due to moving from Philadelphia to New Port, Rhode Island. Looking to get with like minded drivers...

Took a test drive last Thursday, 2SS / RS Package, Manual w/ Hurst Short Shifter... Fell in love. Ordered Friday 5/17/13.
