Is your 5th Gen' Camaro an imposter? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So far debaged the side " camaro" lettering. Oh yeah I have the "outatime" license plate ordered but I had to spell it "Owtatime" and my car is not a delorean like in " Back To The Future"

Maybe Im a poser

I'd consider replacing the front end for an SS front end as I like the look of the mailslot, just looks meaner imo. I would keep the RS badges though and would never consider badging it as an SS

Oh I forgot. I am going to put Hid's in my car but I am not putting them in to try and be an SS/RS. I just dont like the halogen lights at night. They just aren't bright enough.

V6 and proud hoping to sport a Turbo Charger and other mods in future after warrantee expires........

I'll start.
I drive a 2010 Camaro 1SS/RS 6M in IBM. Everything on the outside of my Camaro is correct. However, I did add a GM aux gauge cluster and GM silver plastic door/dash inserts from a 2SS. Not bad except that I also added B.A. badges on my door speaker grills even though I don't have the B.A. stereo system.

This is NOT the same thing as re-badging a V6 as an SS for example. There's a big difference in wanting some accessories from other models than actually
re-badging your car to say it is something that it is not.

You are not posing at all. You are putting the car the the way you like it.
Your actions are not causing your car to be something that it is not.

Everyone can have their opinion that’s what is great about this country.
I like the look and that’s all that matters.
Bottom line it’s still a V6 and proud of it.
Puts a smile on my face every time a spank a Rustang with a V8 then show them a V6 did the spanking not a V8.

racer778 · 01-24-2011, 09:07 AM

I removed the SS badging and had a carbon fiber overlay put over the Mail-slot. I guess i'm posing as a V6 :O)

BSX_Camaro · 01-24-2011, 09:10 AM

Well I'm going backwards. Removed my red SS and replaced it with white. Just didn't look right on my IBM w/ white rallys.

IrocJack · 01-24-2011, 09:13 AM

I took the SS badging off and added the RS, didn't want anyone to think I was rich.

Not really, all 2LT/RS is just fine with me.

Has anyone taken the C A M A R O letters off their car ? What did you use to remove them ?
