  • RS vs. Coupe

    Question from a newbie, forgive me if it has been asked and answered. What are the body style differences between a 1997 Camaro RS and Coupe? I recently purchased a 1997 RS convertible (with the anniversay seat emblems!) and I am loving it, bit in buying aftermarket stuff, I keep running into these two different categories. Does anyone know where I can find photos of one vs. another?
    This is my 8th F body (I have had a 70, 71, 78, 82, 83, Camaro, and a 96 & 99 Trans Am, a WS6 30th anniversary convertible!). It has been about two years since I've had one, and I am thrilled to be riding low once more!

      Its basically a body ground effects package. No other differences. From the 4th Gen FAQ:

      RS - appearance package available starting in 1996 for the base Camaro (V6) only. It includes ground effects and an up-level spoiler. "RS" badges are located on the front fenders and rear passenger bumper. In 1998 the RS was dropped, however the appearance package was still available as an option.
