That IS the correct spelling and usage.

In the other thread about pics from the Chicago Auto Show, I asked this question, but I'll ask it here, too.

Would there be any issue adding these commemorative taillights to a 2015 2SS RS?

It looks like these commemorative taillights don't have the chrome trim.[/QUOTE]

BW
took a look tonight before pulling her into the shop, third day of driving her now and yeah they're the same as ours but I like mine too!

I personally think mine and other's last of the gen 5 camaro's, have good balance and the parts are available to swap it up back there it is looking good with black on black with the dual tips helping fill the space back there its a personal preference .

Like for example my fiancé is wanting a 2012 v6 for not much less than the dealers up here are selling some of the 2014 models, 10,000 off? She likes the more open front and the tail lights. I'm kind of hoping she holds on for the release

But I wanted the last gen 5 and paid a premium more than the 2014 model in October just to get the last year edition
Glad its a free world and we can agreed to disagree

ps I read this one over once prior to hitting the action hope it shortened up your day laughs on me no charge

one of a bunch of shots I took today

...........this tread is confusing..........

TJ91 · 02-24-2015, 01:45 AM

the more I look at the 14-15 version...the more I think GM pulled a BMW move.
Which (14-15 owners please do not get upset) how BMW will make a great design, than mess up the design a bit, so that the next design looks vastly better. LOL maybe its just me who has noticed this with BMW, but the more I look at the 14, the more I realize how GM took steps back on the refreshes from 2010 outward.

The rim design for the RS went from dimensional looking to flat. Chrome inserts everywhere. Massive rear diffuser. Odd stripe decals (sorry the Commemorative one puts me off) Tail lights and more that I can keep listing.

Really hoping the 6th gen doesn't have these odd 'issues' for a lack of a better term

Four tailights are sexy.
With two?
Sure, why not DD it in salt 'n' snow.

3...2...1...

(Since this tread is all over the place, I will give an extra little push)
I actually like the location of the vinyl stripe, I wonder if someone makes it for a 2013, goggle searched it and nothing.

snarky · 02-24-2015, 05:19 AM

I notice a larger crowd around the Z/28. If you don't like the taillights you're in luck since no one is forcing you to buy one.

To the O.P.
If you want to improve the tail lights, you can buy a set of non RS tail lights cut off the lens and do the same to the RS lights, then switch and seal them good and have the lens painted, that will do what you want, then take pic and post.

See this is how you do it.

Bretts · 02-24-2015, 05:26 PM

I like what you did there it is tinted on the inside of a non rs lens mounted on the led rs rear light platform?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 02-24-2015, 05:45 PM

Not tint, there painted tint, and yes its the non RS lens on modded (not the housing) RS tail lights.
