If anyone has seen the reverse mohawk in person, is it really noticable? Is it worth not getting a sunroof? Its been bugging me for a while now and just wanted to know people's opinions on it

Wow! That is going to get you a lot of opinions. I saw the mohawk in person and it looks nice (definitely noticeable), but I am still getting the sunroof. I think the sunroof looks great - matches the lines of the hood perfectly.

Thanks for the input

Yeah im stuck on getting the sunroof or not, my heart says yes, but i guess im just trying to make myself feel better now without having a sunroof because i dont have the money to order the sunroof:(
dam 1400 freight charge!

I had ordered the sunroof originally...then I saw a pic of the sunroof open, so I called the dealer immediately and had it removed from the order! I didn't like the appearance of the open sunroof and I hardly use the sunroofs on my Escalade and CooperS. I realized that I lost the reverse Mohawk roofline and that was the deciding factor to lose the sunroof!! It's a personal preference. Good luck deciding!!

Yeah the sunroof is definately a little cheap. Reverse Mowhawk!!

You need to ask yourself how much you will actually use the sunroof.If its all the time ,then its a good option.

While I like the reverse mohawk, I have always wanted a sun roof. So - I ordered the sun roof and will keep it. I do wish that the roof opened inside as oppose to the outside.

Long Live Camaro!

this was an easy choice for me my last few cars have had a sunroof. the spoiler roof makes the car look sporty. do u know how much windnoise u would have without the spoiler roof? the reverse mohawk is very unique but imagine how disappointed you're gonna be from hearing that aftermarket doesn't want any part of that roof or will just say no.

Ordered with the sunroof and then saw one with it and called to delete it......900 bucks will get you a nice catback exhaust.

Cat back exhaust is an option that replaces the stock exhaust (from the catalytic converter back to the rear of the car, hence the name cat-back). Generally is provides for enhanced airflow and more power and a "better" (louder, deeper) exhaust note. The reverse mohawk is the way that the roof of the new Camaro is shaped (when not equipped with the sunroof). It dips down in the middle and is higher on the sides.
