Non RS rims and roof strips??? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

so I was wondering what the non RS rims look like and why you can't get body color roof rails without RS? I think that's lame?

It depends on the model but if you look in the gallery message board there's plenty of non-rs examples. As to why the black roof ditch moldings for non-rs, I guess it's a cost thing that and something they wanted to do for RS only... dunno.

Ok I like the rims and the black strips are doable now I just have to decide if I want the hids or not

TJ91 · 01-02-2009, 03:47 PM

are you going with ss or the lts?

ArcAngel · 01-02-2009, 03:51 PM

I really want the SS once I figure out the monthly payment I will no better. I would rather have a Maro with a 6 thn none at all.

I find the black roof ditch moldings without RS pathetic. My LS Cobalt freaking has body colored roof ditch moldings, but you have to buy a $1200+ package to get them on the $25,000+ Camaro? GM screwed up few things with this car, but that is one of them.

I totally agree my 07 cobalt SS/SC has body colored too. Its almost like they did it so you would buy the RS

It does?!? Did you get some extra package with it or something? I only ask, because mine doesn't...and I wanted them for a little while. Luckily, my car's dark enough that I can't tell.

I almost wonder if this wasn't a "we need to put something else in the package" issues.

do you guys think it will look shitty on yellow?

You got me second guessing, so I asked my wife. She believed they were black, but was kind enough to suggest that if I took out the trash, I could see for myself. [Grumble] So I went out and yup, they're body colored. Maybe mine was originally a higher trim, but got changed halfway down the line, or somebody just screwed up and added them on confusing what trim it was?

I'm thinking you're reasoning sounds most likely. As it is, the RS package is pretty weak besides the HIDs. Darker wheel and taillight finish? Puh-lease. And looking at the pictures, the black roof ditch moldings don't look awful. This isn't a deal-breaker in any way, more of a very slight annoyance. I'm more upset we're forced to get 20 in staggered width wheels with the SS and V6 RS.
