Hot or Not? 2010 Chevy Camaro RS with factory accessories [w/POLL]

POLL at the link....

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/13/h...ssories-w-pol/

Let's pull back the curtain a little bit, shall we? Sometimes, when we're picking up or dropping off a vehicle to review, we see other vehicles that are in the press fleet. This was the case one afternoon when, during the course of a vehicle swap, we noticed something of interest waiting to be driven off by some other keyboard jockey: a 2010 Camaro 2LT RS, only unlike the one we reviewed this spring, this sixxer RS was additionally kitted with the OEM accessory ground effects package and 21-inch two-tone wheels.

Frankly, we were taken aback by the whole thing at first, and thought it looked a little ridiculous. The dubs+1 hoops seem overly big, the body kit isn't painted body color, and the new rear bumper cover with its squared off, integrated exhaust outlets is a little excessive. Naturally, we called General Motors and asked if we could take it home for a bit, if only to see if our initial reaction would soften. Mostly, we wanted to photograph it and give you all a chance to weigh in.

Follow the jump to read about our week with the kitted Camaro. After perusing the high-res image gallery below, you can also vote if the 2010 Chevy Camaro RS with factory accessories is hot or not.

I think the RS appearance is the best. I saw one that was all black with gun metal wheels... sweet as ****.

Didn't look like a "v-6 mustang"?

I think the car is perfectly done, stock, rs package, whatever.... However, i feel the "murdered-out" look with all black wheels on a black car looks tacky and actually quite cheap. saw one on a car site and was like, way to ruin a perfectly fine car.

I don't like the wheels and the fact that the ground effects aren't painted makes it look half-assed.

I prefer body colored ground effects. Didn't like the 2tone on the 80's Z28.....

This car looks good, but would look better all 1 color...

Much better....

Red Jewel Tintcoat with the unpainted ground effects looks pretty good.

I do not care for the trim around the the exhaust ports on the rear bumper panel. The ground effects kit looks better when it is painted to match the car. Not a big fan of the two tone wheels.
