The RS package is worth it imho on the SS. Love those Camaro eyes and I also wanted the darker taillights and painted roof ditch molding.

My car took 10 weeks, but that includes the 3 weeks that at the factory was closed for the holidays. So, you are probably looking at 7 or 8 weeks.

Congrats on your order! You will love it.

The Headlights are different?? Well I already ordered the car with out the RS package, hopefully I dont regret it.
Can someone post some pics of the differences, I see alot of the ss/rs but not the ss.

Do a search on here. Tons of pictures and even a few threads with comparison pictures.

If you just ordered a few days ago you can probably call and have it added on to your car. until the order is picked up by production control I think you can still change it.

HID headlamps with "halo ring"
Rear Spoiler (LT only - SS already has it)
20-inch 5-spoke wheel with Midnight Silver paint finish
RS-unique tail lamps
Body-color roof ditch molding
RS badging on driver's side grille and passenger side trunk lid

When combined with SS, SS badging becomes red instead of silver

More importantly, you might want to put in a bit more thought about the sunroof. A good bit of people have expressed some regret about how much clearance it take away inside the cabin. I'm only 6', and I have to admit that even I noticed a huge differance when I rented a Camaro before I bought mine.
At any rate, enjoy! Hell of a car.

i can't figure why everyone complains about the head room with the sunroof. i'm 6'2" and don't have any problems with head room in mine.

Well, as far as my experiance goes when I rented the camaro from hertz to see if I liked it as much as I thought I would, I almost broke my neck getting in...lol. Must have been a really short person in it before me. Mostly though, I'm only going by what I've read on here from other people that have ordered one with a sunroof.

If you can't add the package for the headlights now and decide you want them later, its possible. A vendor on here (AAC Style) has products that either exceed or are on par with stock. Truthfully, the biggest benefit to having the RS package is most likely the resale value. If past experiance tells me anything about cars, the ones with the most options included tend to hold their value better. Now, if you plan on driving yours until either you die or the car does(like me) its not much of an issue.

The best piece of advice I can give you is anything you can possibly think of has most likely allready been covered by this website. With a little bit of patience you can find anything you need here. There is literally no section of this website that isn't helpful.

I believe the SS comes standard with the 20" midnight silver wheels and spoiler. So the only thing you're getting that you wouldn't get on your base SS is body-colored roof ditch molding, the halo HID headlights, and the darker tail lamps.

Up to you if it's worth $1,200.

SS comes with normal silver wheels. Midnight silver wheels are an RS upgrade (a darker shade of sliver).

If you have ever driven at night with HID lights,you'll be amazed!!!!!!!!!!
I would never want the standard halogen lights again.....

HID maybe... but not PROJECTOR

RS package was worth it to me just to get factory HID Projector lights.

It's been discussed ad infinitum already... some other people don't think it's worth the price... others didn't have a second thought that their Camaro was going to be an SS/RS.

Thanks for the help with that guys. I found a good thread with a bunch of comparison shots. I think I actually like the look of the SS lights better than the RS ones. Im sure I would like the performance of the RS lights better but we'll see. If im not impressed with the SS lights, Ill look into the RS ones.
With the roof moldings being black...oh well I dont mind them that much. I have a feeling Im going to love this car no matter what.
I plan to keep it and drive the hell out of it so resale value really doesnt matter to me, thats not what I bought the car for. This forum ROCKS BTW!
