The 1LT has nicer seats too.

Or the 1LT, gfx and RS package.

They both come out to around the same price, but obviously lose out on some things such as fog lamps, the HIDs and the mini spoiler by going with the LS.

Any1 have an opinion?

Order the 1LT and buy my MSs

1LT... but look into the 2LT... comes with too many goodies to pass up

Yeah, since you asked. . .those 21s are fugly. GFX too, although you didn't ask. If your money was my money, I'd get a stock 2LT RS.

Get either the 1LT with 20" painted aluminum wheels or 1LT RS. The 20s are only $480 from GM, and are a great looking wheel.

I'd think twice about the ground effects package in Jersey... You'll rip it off in the snow unless you plan on storing it for the winter.

1lt rs

JohnnyBfromPeoria · 08-13-2009, 09:17 PM

LS all the way. Nix the gfx and spend way less than 1K on some unique wheels to make it your own personal thing. Save the steelies for winter and mount up a set of four matching winter tires on them.

Meant swap the RS Rims in winter given the salt used here in NJ - sure you could put Yokohamas on them or consider 19" wheels with a different all-season - leverage the $5K for whatever else rather than the '21 rims IMO.

I got my SIM at McGuire Chevy in Newton NJ.

Which dealer did you go to by the way? I was going to order from the Paramus rt 17 one because I heard they are one of the top dealers.

Thanks for all the replies everyone, I didn't think I'd get any replies at all!

These forums are very helpful and mature

Saving a little more cash, hoping to order in October. I'll go with the 1LT RS / GFX.

Now i just have to narrow down 4 colors to 1

broncosman · 08-13-2009, 11:04 PM

obviously there is no dilemma here... get the LT setup if they both come out to the same price...

TaylorRyanSS · 08-13-2009, 11:04 PM

sorry but people who are really buying the 21" wheels for the price that they are at are crazy... they arent even that nice looking imo they need a deeper dish

get the 1lt with the RS package and get some aftermarket wheels later for half of the price you would have spent

98_Camaro · 08-14-2009, 12:16 AM

I say 1LT/RS because of the foglights (which IMO, looks much better), and the RS comes with 20" rims. Close enough to 21" and you get more options.

jvmax · 08-14-2009, 08:23 PM

LS all the way!! $23k, found some 20's on ebay for $1000, sold my 18's for $800, so for $23,200 my Camaro looks like I paid $40k for it!!

MikesZ · 08-14-2009, 09:20 PM

I would go with the 1LT/RS package. You get the power seat, halos, fogs, 20 inch wheels, rear spoiler with that set up and then add the GFX if you want. Here was the sample from this site that I saw that made me realize I wouldn't need the 21" wheels.

JewelZ · 08-14-2009, 09:34 PM

have you lost your mind! Sacrificing all those options which would be wayyy more worth than 5k bro. I say you start with take the 1lt / rs and worry about snazzy wheels down the road.
