What fender do I need?
« on: January 17, 2016, 01:52:35 AM »
Ok so I have a roller 68 it has a badge on the back that says it's an rs but thats all I see.The front fender does need an extension.I was going to order a replacement online but it says the one I was looking @ won't fit a 68 rs so I need to know what to look for so that I can purchase the correct fender?Thank you & I hope that I am posting in the right section.

If you have hide away headlights and lights in the lower valance you probably have a RS.

Welcome to the best Camaro website ever. If your Camaro is a factory RS the reverse back up lights will be located below the bumper.

Greaser,
 Get one to match the other side. Pay close attention to the headlight bucket mounting tab location.

Thank  you guys I read the forums & looked @ the monts they look like non rs I think someone just put a rs badge on the back,also will rear  quarters work from a Coupe to An rs?I am new to these cars,More of a gasser enthusiast as lately.Before that g-body's &mopars.I do bodywork & have meant to put quarters on this thing but the ones that came were some cheap chinese ones I won't even attempt to put em on.I have the orginal fender but it's pretty nasty.

Thanks after finding pix online of the way a rs vs non rs should look around the headlamps & the vin decoded I've figured it out to be a non rs

Nothing on the VIN tag or on the Fisher Body tag will tell you whether it is an RS or not on a 68.

See this link for more data on 68 Camaros.

Then see this for the RS option.  Scroll down a bit.

You need to post some pictures of the car so we can get a good look at it.   8)
