2012 Lingenfelter Camaro RS Retrokit

DECATUR, Ind. – Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) offers Retrokits Camaro body design packages designed to give the new 2010-2012 Chevrolet Camaro an authentic 1969 muscle car look.

“Many Camaro fans were disappointed when the design of the fifth gen Camaro didn’t look as much as the ’69 Camaro as, say, the new Mustang looked like the original,” said Owner Ken Lingenfelter. “With our Retrokits package, enthusiasts can have the best of both worlds – the technology of today paired with the muscle car styling of the past.”

Lingenfelter’s Retrokits package includes a 1969-style non-RS system front fascia or an RS system front fascia with hideaway headlights.
