Hey, all-
One thing that I've been curious about - how exactly are the RS darker tailights different from the base SS? The RS light covers have a darker tint to them. The SS are clear plastic. Here are two good comparison pics. Thanks to the respective owners of each picture. EDIT: look how well the panels are fit together (gaps in body lines) - they are nearly identical. Great job, Oshawa!

The RS looks waxed and polished while the SS looks plain and dirty.. I do like the tinted RS look though since it gives a contrast on red by being darker. On other colors I don't see it making a difference enough for me to pay extra for..

Great comparison photos 2KZ28. Thanks for posting this thread. It is real easy to see the difference between the RS and non-RS tail lights now.
I agree with IAH, that the RS tail lights will look great on a black Camaro -- and all / most others as well. |

Good comparison, I posted a similar pic from Indy, but on different colored cars.
Your example on the same colored car really shows the difference! I like em! LOTS!!

Great comparison! That was really helpful. Still, I'm barely leaning towards saving $1200 and forgoing the RS package.

Don't forget about the HIDs that come with the RS package. Someone needs to post a comparison of those versus the standard lights. Those make a big difference in my opinion.

it appears to me that its just a lighting issue? and someone post a pic of a SS/RS just to make sure its not a difference between the SS and the V6.

The dark surrounding area of the light makes the middle look more "after-burnery" on the RS light. Cool.

which is just about the only reason i want the RS package. HALs look really dated and old, but the HIDs look fresh and really cool. i hadnt notice how much of a difference the RS tail lights made until now. they look great. however i also think the regular ones look good. first post, but i have been lurking for about a week. this place is great. in just a few days i've learned tons about the camaro. |

Would it be worth it to just have the tail lights tinted aftermarket?
