Who's switching the ss bumper to the rs v6 front bumper?

Based on the two pictures above, I have a feeling that the SS will be getting a different grill then what is pictured here. Might be getting the grill that was in the mules that were running around? Look at the lower grill in the SS - it does not match the upper grill. The upper and lower grills style in the RS match each other.

Well, some members here complained about the looks of the lower grille and another forum member who worked on the car got super touchy over the reactions. Too sensitive a reaction if this were not the real intended grille.

You're right, it doesn't match the style of the top grille. All it needs is to have the openings made the same shape and push it back so it's not on the outside of the bumper but recessed in a bit like the other one. Not a big deal.

And, worst case scenario, I'm sure this type of thing will be available on the aftermarket.

I would rather have a stock SS than some kind of hybrid monster. Oh and I have a question. I read that the RS package get's halo's, afterburners, and a deck-lid spoiler, but you can't get the spoiler on the SS. Is the spoiler on the SS standard?

[Xanthos]

Yes, the spoiler is standard on the SS. Essentially, the RS package on the LT gets you the spoiler from the SS.

As well as the rims. Which has me baffled....Shouldn't the RS package on the SS be much cheaper than the RS package for the V6?

Yes. Not sure how they are going to handle that. The RS package does not get you the afterbruner taillights - they are just tinted darker and have chrome bezels around them. They did not go with the afterburner look.

There should be a V6 look package for the V8

IIn one of the chats on Monday they said they recreated the afterburner affect with a coating rather than using LEDs. If you look at the video of the RS being driven at the reveal outside in Detroit you can see what they look like, they just found a less expensive way to recreate the affect....

gss9909: do the tail lights achieve the same "after burner effect as thw concept?

MikeAndJeff: (the afterburners effects we're talking about on the concept car). The LED detail on the concept car which we reproduced on the lens material on the production vehicle. They sparkle in the same way.

They sparkle in the same way but they do not light up in the same way. In the afterburner look, the half moon is blacked out and the bottom surrounding it is lit up. This is not the way the production cars tail lights look when on.

Anybody notice the uneven gaps in the SS hood.
I swear i better not have that problem.

Differences: SS has a bump just outside of foglamps, lower facia opening is enlarged, lower grill is different design, has "mail opening" or scoop above upper grill, lower lip protrudes outwards more

^Don't forget those were hand built and cost a quarter of a million each. I'll guarantee that the gaps won't be off when the cars are made. GM would never let that happen....promise!

Agreed. Some "coating" to save a few pennies is like saying "We recreated the hood scoop and side vents with a special printed vinyl applique' that is installed over the paint!"

After seeing the black SS from the Milford video, I'm definitely going for the SS bumper...hands down it's bad ASS!
