difference between V6 and SS facsia? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For some reason...the v6 bumper looks more smooth and buff head on....but the SS bumper looks not as buff, wider toward the bottom of the bumper, and it looks like it's trying to flatten out into a rectangle IMO

They're both VERY intimidating facias...and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but I feel the SS front-end looks undoubtedly more "buff" in person.

I haven't seen the SS in person, only pictures. I'm still getting the SS but it just doesn't look as good to me "head on" as the V6 bumper. I've seen the red concept in person which is pretty much the same bumper that the V6 has and it was GORGEOUS. So I wonder how I'll like the SS bumper in person..

The SS front end is perfect and should look more Intimidating then the Inferior V6... the V8 should have Dual Dual Exhausts on the rear end... o well nothing Custom Mods cant Fix.

The camaro has never in all 5 gens offered much of a appearance change in its diffrent style just look at the 4th gen z28 and the v6, the camaro is mostly about the engine and thats what count but also people that just want a good looking fast car want a appearance change on their more expenisve version they paid for they can easily offer a diffrent style for the black board that the muffles are in. They nead a bigger SS sign too. and they need to put one on the side or under the "camaro" on the sides of the door. Diddences of the ss and rs facia are

1. v6 has no slot, sSS does
2. SS has bigger lower slot, v6 is smaller
3. SS has the fog lights more far apart than the v6
4. the bottom of the SS front facia is differnt from the v6
5. SS has SS badging wich should be in the middle of the grill (or at least make it an option)

Driving down the road, the main visual difference is the fake air scoop. Uh, I mean non-functional slot, uh - Another one of my pet peeves. Make it functional (impossible), so make it disappear. Maybe I'll Bondo it up and Duplicolor it. Not.

I like the SS facsia but but not the SS headlights. I don't think you can get an SS with just the RS headlights but the SS Facsia.

You still keep the SS front facsia with the RS package. It just changes to the halo headlights.

That's what I was thinking.
