How do you instal them? Do you have to remove the fenders?

That's really tempting.
What about the color shift 2.0s. Are they difficult to install?

If you're curious to see how the amber headlight and fog halos look, I have them in my lambo doors thread video http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189912

While the video is for lambo doors, you can see I wired up both the amber headlight and fog halos in the video. You only need to see the first like 10 seconds.

If you need any help, you can send me a PM as after doing mine I now know what I'm doing.

I just installed Sidemarkers yesterday and I've never done anything to a car before except change out dome/trunk bulbs. Extremely easy process, and while it took me a little longer than 10-15 minutes, it definitely was less than an hour job and gives it a much sleeker look.

My only issue is the amber lights on one side are significantly dimmer than the other - may have not plugged it in completely...?

I didn't do any of this... just reach up there and pop them out by releasing the clips.

Side markers are so much easier of an install from the looks of it

I'd be torn between the splitter and the sidemarkers also. Either way you can't lose. When I first installed my AAC sidemarkers I was blown away. I can guarantee its going to set you apart from your non-enthusiast Camaro owners around town. I get questions on mine from other camaro owners all the time. One guy asked if these came only on the new 2012 RS package

ah the white car... nice

My first choice would be either black vinyl the roof and add a black splitter, or some type of hood with an intake(sinister is on my list right now).

Get the SS conversion for the front end..im putting my tax refund into it. You can buy the whole kit, including bumper, lower and upper grille inserts, bowtie, bezels, and lower wind deflector.

yup. I'm torn between the side markers and splitter. The side markers are $200 but an extra $120 to paint! That's nearly the price of the splitter. Idk which would look better overall..
I wonder what clear clear lenses would look like on my car
