The HID lights are truly amazing at night, the body color roof ditching moldings are the way the car should be and to me the midnight sterling silver wheels look the best.

RS package consists of:
20-inch Midnight Silver painted aluminum wheels
High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps
Body-color roof ditch molding
Rear spoiler (1LT and 2LT models)
RS unique taillamps
RS badging

So the only thing i want is the HID lights. Both 1ss and 2ss come with 20's, 2ss has a rear spoiler, and it's got ss badging...... so why pay $1200 for different colored wheels(slightly different), HIDs, and badging?

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong, or missing something here, but this is my understanding of adding an rs pack to a 2ss.

Well, not a huge difference between packages but there is a major difference between painted aluminum wheels and polished wheels. The painted tends to cheap easily and looks horrible once they do. The polished wheels, though not chrome, are much more shiny and are not prone to chipping. Even minor scratching isn't as noticeable as chipped painted wheels. On a darker color like midnight wheels, it'll show much easier. Grab the polished. You'll thank me later.

Check the Camaro site, go to the build section and you'll see the different prices for the RS package based on the model (1LT, 2LT, 1SS or 2SS) you pick.

If I recall, the SS badge is white, when you add the RS package the SS badges are red

RS package
1LT $1,750
2LT $1,450
1SS $1,200
2SS $1,200

I can't believe this is even a debate?....
i mean when u order this package for 1200, it's a relative bargain in today's prices. It makes the car what it is......perhaps the average person doesn't know about it, but the look makes the car have personality and it looks so damn good at night. I wouldn't even dream of leaving the RS option off.
If you do choose to leave off that option, You'll be regretting it later...
TRUST ME>......

Some buyers may not want to spend another $1200, I think the body-color roof ditch molding were worth it for me.

im getting a 2SS RS and im not even using the upgraded wheels cuz im getting 21s lol ... but i wanted teh RS because im getting RJT color and the darker tail lights will go better with this color... the roof ditch molding looks a lot better... but most of all.... I WANT THOSE DAMN CAMARO EYES... they look sick

Ammo7 · 08-16-2009, 06:09 PM

It adds that little extra touch that just finishes off the car IMO

Coming from GM the 21'' wheel option slows the car down by .2 tenth. My thinking its more than that.
.2 = 20hp on average
