Non-RS all the way for me. I had to special order mine as well as a Non-RS. I don't like the halos (unless on a BMW) and I get to control my fog lights day/night. I am like the only Non-RS 2LT dude here in town lol

I wasn't a big fan of the halos period so I had to special order mine without the RS package. I did want HID so I had to retrofit some aftermarket ones. I was going for the 1st Gen look so Halogen headlights got that for me.

I'm not going to bash the '14 models other than to say I'm not a fan either way but I'm also betting the RS option won't be quite as popular as it was before.

It's all a personal preference.
Amen to that!

At first i was not the biggest fan of the 14 tail lights but i like part of the RS tail lights but not the lens, the way the work GM needs to install the NON RS tail lights lens on the RS tail lights, why look at the back up lights there only in the center like the 69 cars, so why go all the way with the clear part of the lens?.

When my new 2014 car gets here will do a set of RS tail lights with NON RS tail lights lens and add the RS headlights to the car too.


I have to mod my car.

I like the RS, that's why I have one. Yes its a 2014.

All these people on the "I hate the '14 tail lights" bandwagon amazes me. I remember when the '10's came out and everyone I knew thought the tail lights looked horrible. I didn't get a 5th gen till the 2014 came out and they changed the tail lights, I never liked the round tail lights and never could figure out where that design came from, if its from a '70-73, the really don't belong on the car....

The 10-13 taillights are from the 60's just like the 14's though, not identical they're similar .Just like the 14's aren't identical to the 60's camaro. Yes, 14's are more closer in looks to the 60's camaro than the 10-13's are!

+1.

I disliked the flat top design of the 10-13 taillights, kind of made me wonder "where's the rest of the light - should be a circle?", but didn't stop me from buying the car. Now after owning Catherine for almost 3 years (or her owning me!), I hardly even notice it. And when I do, I like it because it makes the 10-13 more unique.

The RS package grew on me once I really saw the lights in action, although I liked the rims as well. Oddly enough, I didn't care for it much in SoCal, especially having to buy some winters for it...

But then when I got out to Chicago when school started, I was able to see the car's reflection a lot more, the lights look hella nice, especially at night. My roommate/good friend did a photo shoot of the Camaro (He likes shooting cars) and it really brought out the lights and their refined look, the car carries a urban but mean look with them which I like (sidenote, mine is 2013):

Am I really the only person that sees the resemblance here?
