I like the V6 bumper, too.

Just what I was thinking. I do not like the mail slot, esp since it does nothing. Good to know it does not cost too much to change an SS to no mail slot.

How much money would it cost to get the bumper swap? Thanks!

I'm sorry man but you just don't sound mature enough to have a brand new camaro for that matter.

Just my .02

wtf? not mature enough...? im just saying if i dont get a 2SS then a 2Lt for the same luxury features.. cus i dont want cloth seats or anything. But if there was a way for it to look the same. you could ALWAYS increase the power later, plus u dont hav to be stupid and do street races.

I'm talking about your attitude and your grammar, not what you want to do to your future camaro.

I kind of agree here.

I can't imagine the logic of spending close to a grand just to make a V6 look like a V8. What the hell?

That little slot is just a tiny styling detail that only hard core car enthusiasts are going to notice.

I've had a ton of compliments on my car, despite being 'just' a 312 HP V6, and it's very quick. I'd have to at least double my income to justify buying a V8, and paying all that extra money for it and the premium gas. And I'd need to have my head removed to justify trying to make my car look like a V8.

yes it will look like a ss from the front... but a SS has wider wheels, and bigger brakes... are the thing you can see

I love the slot, but not the rest of the bumper. other than that, I like big brakes, and the SS sound.

People who know about the Camaro No because of the rally-sport on the hood, and the RS badges on the rear, lic plate, and front grille. To the every day driver they think the Camaro is a V8 (I had people ask me even with the V6 bumper it does not matter.

If your going to spend the money to dress up your car don't try to make it look like someone elses, do something unique and make it look like yours.

Besides that i cant imagine the ridicule you'll get trying to dress up a v6 to look like a v8. I'm not knocking your car but we all know people who will.
