Were CAMARO fender badges standard?

I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me before, but I finally realized that the 2011 2SS/RS I bought a few weeks ago does not have fender badges

Was this something that was possible from the factory, or did the previous owner remove them? I actually prefer the look without them. Just curious.

Yes they are standard. Previous owner most likely debadged the car.

Not weird at all, many do it. I did in my V6 but blacked them out on my SS.

As soon as I got home from the dealership, I got the heat gun out and removed them. It is much easier to wash and wax with ALL the badges including the bowties and SS/RS badges gone.

I say weird because the car has very low mileage and is otherwise untouched - seems weird that would be the only mod, but that's just me. It does look good!

It took me seeing my car next to another Camaro to go "Wait a second..."

Yep, most of mine went away within the first week. The rest soon followed.
