Gauges infront of shifter???

[Speaker]

i ordered a 2011 1ss/rs and the dealer assured me that my car will have the extra gauges infront of the shifter because its an rs. but i thought that only the 2ss has those gauges. am i right or is he?

You are right. Unless GM changed it for the 11 model year, the RS does NOT include those guages. Only 2LT/2SS cars have them from the factory.

I don't believe the gauges come with the RS package, I think you are right that they only come with the 2 trim level but.... we could both be wrong I guess haha

You can easily add the 4 pack gauges, they just plug and play, but they'll cost you something in the area of 300+ I hear.

as far as i know, they are only on 2lt and 2ss, and are not specified by the RS

straight from Chevy's build your own website:

Rally Sport Package $1,380


Includes body coloured roof ditch moulding, unique tail lamps and red SS badging. Fog lamps will act as daytime running lamps.

• 20" x 8" Fr & 20" x 9" Rr Flangeless Alum

  Includes painted midnight silver finish.
  

• High Intensity Discharge Headlamps

This option features:

• Projector beam headlamps
• High-intensity discharge low and high beam headlamps
• Auto-levelling headlamps

So unless he's planning on adding the gauges for you on his own, it will not have the 4-pack.

If you can get your dealer to put it in writing that your car will have the gauges you can save yourself the $400 it costs to buy them when your car shows up without them lol!

Only the 2LT and 2SS trim levels come with the rally gauges from the factory. All other trims you must buy the accessory kit and either install it yourself or have it installed by the dealer.

I have a 2011 1SS/RS.......no gauges, wish it did, your dealer made a mistake.

I'll bet he's right... he's probably adding those gauges in at the cost and adding that to your final invoice total. But everyone else is right in that the RS does not include the gauges (only the 2LT/2SS). But I bet he's going to throw those in there for you.

I ordered a 2011 2LT R/S, the 4 pack gauges were on the 2LT trim level which is why I ordered it, as well as a power sunroof. But yeah, you can order a 4 pack gauge and have the shop install it for you, but it will take several weeks to get the gauge pack in and have the shop install for you. It's worth it though, they are easy to read as well. By the way, my 2011 2LT has a light grey color interior, the later 2011 models that are just now coming out have mostly all black interior color, check out the GM website to see for yourself. I'm happy with my interior colors though, it won't get as hot inside as it normally would.

Not too big a deal since you can add them in later. If I were you, I'd act surprised and disappointed when the car arrives and it has no console gauges. Maybe the dealer will install the for you @no cost...

I recommend you get his "assurance" in writing.
