Depending one which 5.0 our V6 will hold its own in the 1/4. For sure it beats the 5.0's in the looks department......

I know someone who removed these and had them painted body color, to represent the RS package.

It is a mass produced car and a V6 RS Camaro is the majority of the V6s, ya a future buyer might take notice of the VIN lacking the RS notation but if they are THAT concerned then they will be smart enough to notice that the car has all the RS goodies anyways.
Besides that every time I have sold a car the buyer was only concerned normally with what is in the car, they don't care if I bought it with a certain package that was offered at the time of purchase, they just want to know what all I have in it, I know this because I have an 04 Monte Carlo SS supercharger and it is a Dale Jr Signature series. I have had it priced many times and the signature series (even though it is reflected on the VIN) doesn't , make a difference at all when it comes to price, the potential buyer is basically glad to hear that it has a supercharger and all the bells and whistles, they dont care if it is a signature series.

So if you were to buy a car, going into the sale you believed it was a particular trim level. Then, through research you realize that it isn't. Are you still going to buy the vehicle, or move on to a seller with more integrity?

I don't believe in badging cars incorrectly, that's all. Seems pretentious.

If I were to drop an LSA in my SS and change up some fascia, could I slap some ZL1 badges on the thing and call it even?

To each their own, it is their car and their business.

I have to disagree, with just about everything you say. Buyers know that a factory or even dealership installed supercharger is more reliable and more valuable. And true gear heads read the VIN and will know this guy is kidding himself

Geese, its not like I put SS all over it. If you don't like it then don't look at it. I posted this to show my art work, anything other than that needs to be left out. I rarely come here to Camaro5 for this exact reason....someone always looking to start crap with someone else about crap they do. Post some pics of yours...and since we are at it I will find some shit to knock yours for. Seems to be rather easy for you. Bottom line.....If you don't like then don't look at it. and move on.

I just made an observation. You guys turned it into a disussion. As long as it makes you happy, doesn't matter what people say about it right?

If you still want pics let me know.

You have to watch out over here Scott...lol...they're a little touchy about that RS thing. I actually had the whole RS package dealer installed...and to not offend I removed the badges...but I still got barbecued the first time I posted a picture because I said I had the RS package. On the bright side...at least no one called you a criminal.
But your under hood work does look pretty awesome! Good job!
