Since you might know somebody from owning a V6 Camaro RS, do you happen to know anybody who owns a factory stock SLP RS? I can't remember off the top of my head what year SLP started offering that (2000?), but it'll be its own page on my site eventually.
Essentially all it was was a regular V6 Camaro with ground effects, Z28 dual exhaust (likely the exhaust SLP would take off Z28s when creating SSes...?), 16 x 8 ZR1 style wheels (as opposed to 17 x 9 ZR1 style wheels which were optional on SSes at that time period) and I think a stripe kit may have been part of the options as well. I'd have to look at the stuff I have on it to be sure. I think stripes only came in silver and black and on a limited exterior color basis.
I may have some pics already somewhere, but I figured I'd ask in case you know anybody.

I don't know anybody, but I thought it was 2001 and I have never seen one with ground effects..
SLP RS Package 01-02
The 2002 Camaro RS package offered by SLP could be added to V6-powered Camaro's for $849. It was available for cars finished in Artic White, Light Pewter Metallic, Silver Metallic. Navy Blue Metallic, Onyx Black, Monterey Maroon Metallic, Sunset Orange Metallic, Mystic Teal Metallic and Bright Rally Red. The RS content included a front grille with the Chevrolet bow-tie logo, an interior plaque with RS badge, 3 exterior RS badges, a dual-outlet exhaust system with a high-performance muffler (adds 5-hp and a throaty exhaust sound) and black or silver striping. The black striping was not available for Onyx Black or Navy Blue cars and the silver striping was not available for Light Pewter or Sunset Orange cars.

Thanks for finding that info, that seems accurate. I'm not sure if I have pics of one or not. When I save pics from ebay and sort them in folders, I don't type whether they are a Z28, RS, etc. so I might already have pics. Oh well... we'll find out when I get around to making the article for them.

I don't believe the 16" ZR1's were standard with the SLP RS package.
I like what you're doing, Brangeta. I have nothing really to add except keep it up. It's kind of odd, actually, the amount of information regarding Camaros is so minimal on the web. Especially when compared to Mustangs.

I've added quite a few pictures to the site, so everyone please check it out. I even added pictures of our cars, and the one that got away from being my first car. Even though I broke the rules with a front shot of my mom's SS, that doesn't mean I'm accepting pics at that angle.
I am still in dire need of a few years of photos.

- 2001 sunset orange metallic (odd that I haven't gotten this yet, isn't it? I think there are a lot of them on this forum)
- 1997 30th anniversary Z28 and SS with the optional houndstooth interior hopefully a little visible
- I really really really need replacement Bright Green Metallic pictures if you know anyone who has one or has owned one long enough that they bought it when it still looked stock and might have pics of it stock
- 2000 or 2001 Monterey Marroon Metallic preferably on a sunny day
- 1994 Dark Green-Gray Metallic hopefully in lighting when it looks more gray or green than the pic I have where it looks blue
- 1993 Purple Pearl Metallic where it looks more purple preferably
- 2000 or 2001 mystic teal metallic
- 1998, 1999, or 2000 navy blue metallic, preferably a convertible with white top
- 1998 to 2000 Bright Red/Bright Rally Red, preferably NOT an SS
- 1998 to 2000 Black/Onyx Black, preferably NOT an SS

Saw that one on ebay. It's as if the Camaro Gods smiled down on me. Now... if only they would provide me with some useful Bright Green Metallic pictures so I don't have to use photoshop.

I have a BGM z28. Right now it has z06 C5 wheels but I still own the stock wheels, so I can throw those back on and take some new pictures. The only other thing is that it has tint and no z28 side emblems I could always buy them, because I wanted to have them anyways
Here are some pics with the stock wheels and no tint when I first got the car. The stickers are not lined up, but now they are, and I can take better pictures now if need be...
I really want to help you out, because I want the BGM cars represented well
Here is a very recent pic after I waxed it,

94Z28-MSTGKLR--where is your album? I still need a bright teal metallic Camaro shot in lighting where it looks more green than this:
and more blue than this:
because right now, it looks like they are two completely different colors, but they aren't.
-----------
You BGM guys are terrible .
So far there has always been ONE or TWO things keeping me from using your pics!
turbo86--wrong wheels, no grill, yet gorgeous pictures that would be perfect for the site
RaggedRides--wrong wheels, no grill, great pics, yet they are too artsy compared to the rest of my pics
RaggedRides second attempt--no Z28 badges, and the pics almost make the color look mystic teal
98greenZ28-- no Z28 badges in the pics I could actually use, yet perfect otherwise. Because of the black roof, I can't just upload it and label it as a V6. It'd be a lie too that wouldn't work, because the Z28 has slightly lower suspension than a V6 car.
You guys are killing me.
In the topics on other forums I have posted this in... the BGM guys are killing me in those topics too.
I found this one somewhere, and I could get away with the wheels since you could get them from GM Accessories, but I'd have to photoshop the Z28 emblem black...
These are the old pics I had on the site and the first one is pixelated and the 2nd one is a bad angle and the nose is cut off. You BGM guys do this on purpose don't you?
and more blue than this:

I've got just what you need. I can't post them up for you on my blackberry but I'll try and post some up for in the next day or two. If you view my profile the album is in there. I'm not sure I have some in there with the factory wheels on it but I know there is on my computer.

Ahhhh... I found the album now. No stock wheels in any of the pics, but if you have a good one with stock wheels, and it's greenish like this one:
or this one:
rather than bluish like this one:
I can DEFINITELY use it.
I already have two bluish appearing ones, and one that appears extremely green, so looking for a pic that is midway between those extremes.

Isn't this a #$($&, the pinstripe makes this something I can't use. This is the color I am looking for though 94Z28-MSTGKLR if you have one where your car looks like this.

My wife deleted every picture I have of my car on the computer! The only ones I have left are in my album. This sucks because I had a lot of nice pictures of it from right after I bought it. This is the only picture I could find in my album with the stock wheels. Probably can't use any but I'll see what I can do about getting the old wheels back on it for some new pictures.
