Is that the production version of a) the orange accent interior (in the silver camaro) and b) the 21" wheels (on the black camaro)?

a) Yes
b) Kinda. The non-black dark silver portions of the 21" wheels have a darker treatment than what the factory will offer.

Yep! They gave all of the shiny metallic pieces like the exhaust and taillight bezels and wheels a darker treatment to carry over the BLACK them. I'll be doing something similar to my car... may even get my exhaust tips powder-coated black.

that mustang just keeps looking uglier and uglier every style change.

Here's a nice upskirt of the SS I took today. Looks like either there is some sort of crossover chamber in the exhaust or an additional muffler or cat in the middle. I'm hoping it's a muffler that could just be cutout and replaced with crossover pipe.

GREAT PICTURES, I LIKED THE INTERIOR OF THE SILVER SS, ORANGE ACCENT.

Black5thgen · 11-24-2008, 07:11 AM

Does the Silver SS have the polished wheels or silver?

The Silver SS has the polished wheels.

I agree the exhaust looks terrible on the Camaro . They have to fix that.

I'm not too impressed with the polished if that's the case. I may change back to midnight silver.

I'm always torn between polished alloys and chrome. I think polished alloys just look like a cheap chrome job because they lack the mirror finish of chrome but that's just my opinion. I'll probably keep the midnight silver finish on my RS package.

Here's a close-up of the wheel:

Yeah they put a clearcoat over the polished aluminum and it dulls the finish. I've always been torn over that because it's sure nice to have shiny wheels all the time, but nothing beats a freshly polished bare aluminum wheel.
