1) ALL stripes will be dealer installed. The call going on near me was an accessory installer (i think) said he had been told that all stripes being install would be going through the dealer.

2) same conversation mentioned many problems with the hurst shifter. apparently it hasnt even been approved by the manufacture yet (hurst i think, which makes sense). I guess they had someone else designing them and hurst hasnt even approved them yet, so expect the delay to continue.

3) finally there were apparently 3 issues that needed to be reset in the computer not just 1. the only one known was the window indexing but apparently there were 3 different parts that needed to be reprogrammed.

4) anyone in the philly area on may the 8th there will be something like 50 camaros at the phillies game!!! the guy at the other end of the phone said he had all sorts of different accessories he needed to install for different camaros including all sorts of stripes, fuel door, etc. Then i found out that these camaros the next day are going back to the dealerships in the area to go on sale. so if you are in the philly area talk to your dealer or go see that game!


#1 -- not true -- Cyber gray and white are being installed before shipping.....we are looking to bring the other colors into the plant as well.....but we must ramp up production first....

#2 -- partically true - that's why we are telling people to remove the option - it can be, at a later date, installed by the dealer --

#3.-- there are a few issues depending on car/drivetrain/trim level. Nothing that doesn't happen anytime a new vehicle starts production.

#4. -- true.
