2LT TE without RS package - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Has anyone test drove both? Is there a ride difference between the 19s and the 20s?

Slight difference always when talking larger tire size. Larger tires usually mean a smoother ride.

There are some better shots of an SS/RS with the TE package in this thread: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...73&postcount=1

Take this for what it's worth (it's just my opinion anyhow) - Paying $1k for the TE package is a waste of money. You get so much more by paying $1450 for the RS package. The RS package completes "the look" for the LT models.

Here is mine without the RS package. I wanted the RS package for the lights and spoiler but I didn't want the 19s up front and the 20s in back. My wife reminded me that my sister had to upgrade her van just to get one option so I didn't think it was worth the price.

Some days I think that I regret it but then I remind myself that I'm not looking at it from the outside when I am driving.

Here's my 1LT/RS, I don't think the TE package is worth the money. You can get the same badges all online for like $100 for a full set. People are so dumb.

Huh? The RS package has 20" wheels all around. 20x8" front, 20x9" rears.

dhammis · 10-15-2009, 02:09 PM

Thanks for the pics rolnslo! That really shows a difference. I like the halos and I probably wouldn't have noticed the molding difference without the pictures.

You gotta have the 2LT/RS, don't forget you get the center gauges with this order!

My bad. Had the wrong specs on the mind.

Not so, I switched to the 19's from 20's and the 19's are smoother and absorb the bumps better because there is more sidewall.

The price for the TE badges is a little high I will agree, but to me it's worth it because it adds a certain flair to the car and because I don't want to attempt to put them on myself. The cost is worth it to have it done at the factory.

For the RS package the spoiler is a little cheesy but the lights are pretty wicked I like the consistency with the molding. If I were getting a black car then the molding wouldn't matter. It does stand out pretty hardcore with the Rally Yellow.

I thought the 2LT came with the 4 gauge cluster and body color roof ditch molding standard.

Hey dhammis, I am waiting for a LT1 with the TE package to come to my local dealer and can't wait for it to get there. After looking at several, I am thinking this could be the one I one!!! I will let you know.
