Almost zero accessories for these cars. Even from GM.
There's a guy called "Crazy Paul" on the SS and G8 forums that's located in Australia that can get the trim cheaper than you can here from the dealerships





Quote:
Kit contains the following all new genuine GM parts:
Upper and Lower Front Grille Surrounds painted PBM.
Pair of lower DRL surround trim pieces painted PBM.
Pair of front fender vents painted PBM, these come complete with lamps.

PBM= Phantom Black Metallic.

Total shipped & Insured
US$566


Quote:
The 2014 SS Black Door & Gutter Trim Price is currently the same as G8 black door and gutter trim. US$434 shipped.

There's a couple parts for the SS door and gutter trim kit that are different to G8 and not showing as being in stock locally for me.

*UPDATE*

Great news on the replacement black upper door & gutter trim.
I've been told that GMNA stocks the long curved gutter trim, so buy those 2 long parts locally to save yourself a packet in shipping. Order them from your local GM dealership if the price is anything under $100ea or from Greg at Pace if the shipping cost is low enough to your location.
2014 VF Black, long gutter strips: 92294362 (right), 92294363 (left).
(These 2 new black gutter strips come with all new clips pre-fitted for install, the only reason you may want some new clips is to refurbish your original chrome strips before storage).
***please note, these 2014 VF black gutter strips are different to VE/G8 gutter strips.

The 4 straight upper door strips in black are not available from GMNA. These are easy & cheap enough to be shipped thru the postal system from Australia. The new straight black trim strips also come pre-fitted with all new clips. I can supply the set of 4 new black upper door strips for Total shipped US$180.
The 4 straight upper door VF black strips are the same as the VE/G8 black straight strips.
Plenty of stock available here in Australia. Shipping will take 10-14 days by Airmail.




Quote:
2014 Chevy SS & Pontiac G8 from factory have 6 "chrome" pieces surrounding the side windows.
The most cost effective way to change these 6 pieces to BLACK is to:

A) Buy the 2 replacement black really long curved gutter trims yourself from GM in USA. You don't want to be transporting them very far because due to their length and fragile nature the shipping is expensive and transit damage is common.
GM Part Numbers : 92294363 (left, black) 92294362 (right, black)

PLUS

B) Buy the 4 replacement black upper door straight trims from Australia.
Total shipped by Airfreight ETA 14 day is US$180


Quote:
Confirmed today.
Black gutter trim available from GM in North America to fit the 2014 Chevy SS will also fit the Pontiac G8.
The 4 straight black upper door trim strips to suit 2014 Chevy SS also fit G8, but are priced way higher in USA than in AU.


See the Yellow Arrows.
These are the 2 new long black curved gutter pieces you buy yourself from GM in North America.
GM Part Numbers :
92294363 (left, black) 92294362 (right, black)

See the White Arrows.
GM North America only stock the 2x straight REAR door pieces in black and for the price they want for 2 pieces you can pay only $16 more and get all 4 black straight pieces including shipping from Crazy Paul.

MRT has an aggressive exhaust for the SS sedan called V1 (version 1) that sounds sweet.

That was weird.

Here is attempt #2, or is that #3?






Edit: So apparently putting the full YouTube link in the [u2b] brackets causes Camaro5 to explode.

So far the MRT is the only that sounds good to me as far as aftermarket choices, but the stock mufflers sound good too.
