A range of stripe kits, rear spoilers, grille inserts, and side and rear ground effects kits are available across the Camaro range, including LS, LT and SS Coupe models. Inside, the Camaro can be upgraded with new lighting and gauge kits plus special trim kits that add colored accents, while standards such as shift knobs, premium floormats and cargo management accessories are also available. Pricing for most items is available, ranging from the very affordable ($53.67 for the cargo area net) to the questionable ($171.81 for a fuel filler door) to the pricey ($2,212.27 for a complete ground effects kit). Availability, however, remains unknown, with the site only posting 'coming soon' notices for each item. The first retail Camaro has already sold - at a Barrett-Jackson auction, for a cool $350,000 - but the full-scale release of Camaros into the wild isn't expected to happen until next week at the earliest. Production was already delayed a month due to issues with a supplier going bankrupt, but GM's Terry Rhadigan has assured eager fans that the car will arrive, and that the company will build as many as it can. 10,000 pre-orders for the new Camaro have already been placed, absorbing all of the output for the first several months, but building in a huge market for the accessories revealed today.2010 Chevrolet Camaro Official Photos2010 Chevrolet Camaro original equipment accessories Read More

A Comfort & Protection package offers roof-mounted cargo carrier expands the Golf's capacity, while a rear cargo area organizer helps keeps things tidy on the go. The Golf Mark VI features a range of engines and variants, including a recently-leaked new GTI. No R32 model is scheduled for the U.S. this time around, however, with VW apparently content to let the current stock of cars satisfy that demand. A hot Scirocco variant may be coming to replace the R32, however. Pricing and availability for the accessories are expected to be announced soon.VW Golf Mark VI official photos2009 Volkswagen Golf Rabbit GTI Mark VIVolkswagen Golf Mark VI accessories Read More

Just a few days ago we learned of Volkswagen's plans to introduce a new, more powerful version of the Golf GTI, dubbed the GTI Plus. An all-new R-model, the R42, is reportedly in the works as well. Now it has been revealed that VW is also working on a new trim and appearance package called R-Line, which will offer both interior and exterior modifications to add an aggressive, sporty look from Volkswagen's in-house Individual line.

The new R-Line designation is intended as an entry into the performance R brand without the cost of upgrading to a full R42, reports AutomobilWoche.

Just a few days ago we learned of Volkswagen's plans to introduce a new, more powerful version of the Golf GTI, dubbed the GTI Plus. An all-new R-model, the R42, is reportedly in the works as well. Now it has been revealed that VW is also working on a new trim and appearance package called R-Line, which will offer both interior and exterior modifications to add an aggressive, sporty look from Volkswagen's in-house Individual line. The new R-Line designation is intended as an entry into the performance R brand without the cost of upgrading to a full R42, reports AutomobilWoche. Starting with a well-outfitted Golf as its base, the R-Line adds 17-inch alloy wheels as standard, with 18-inch units optional, in a unique R-Line design, plus shiny black front fascia treatments and a new rear diffuser. Inside, the R-Line treatment will include sports leather steering wheel trim with R-Line logo, pedal covers and a custom dead pedal, plus R-Line embossed cloth sport seats. Option upgrades include leather-upholstered sports bucket seats and a sport-tuned suspension package. The package will offer an appearance and slight performance upgrade to slot between the standard Golf and the new GTI. The proliferation of Golf models in the Mark VI generation is immense, with a diesel GTD model and a GTI Plus vehicle also in the works.
