I don't think I'm going to order stripes on my white Camaro. I'll go to the aftermarket.

I love GM and I love the new Camaro, but that's completely unacceptable quality control. Never would I have thought that stripes would come like that from GM. I'd rather got my car with the turn signal lever broken and a short in the interior lighting than stripes like that, seriously.

However, all the rally stripes that I've seen look great! I would think the rally stripes, with that accent around them, would be harder to apply.

True. But it's small inexpensive OEM. And basicaly it's OEM that if you don't like. you leave it off.

I agree with that. I was mainly talking about the general accessories comments as a whole.

"Pin the tail on the donkey mothod". lmoa

Seriously...those stripes look aweful on that color. Those $4k wheels look worse than the ones it came with.

Its an automatic and a 6 cylinder.

I would not want that car....sorry.

I don't think 'ugly' should be used to ever, ever describe a Camaro.

Sorry, even if GM paid me to include those options I'd turn them down. I think the standard 20" wheels look better than those. The stripes, splash guards, and the gas cap look like poo also.

A kindergartner could come up with better accessories.

You are correct you get what you pay for and you will enjoy your 21" wheels, especially since you were able to negotiate & sell the factory takeoffs. The 21" Wheels are Forged and come with Pirelli P-Zone speed rated to 180 mph tires. 245/40R21 on front and 275/35R21 on the rear, Pirelli published list price for these tires are $508 each for 245's & $625 each for the 275's, so don't burn too much rubber!!! That's $2,266 for the set of tires.

SHITE! Thats some nice (EXPENSIVE TOO) rubber. I only need speed rated to 140 or so to be confident in 100-120 driving. Anyone know how much some tires would be to 140 MPH spec?
