The Indiana based tuner gives the fifth-generation Camaro an aesthetic work-over with styling from the '69 RS
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.
The non-RS system includes:
- Front fascia
- Lower spoiler
- Standard chrome bumper
- Grille assembly with SS badge
- Two headlight assemblies
- Two lower running light assemblies
- All required mounting brackets
- Wiring harness assembly
The RS system includes:
- Front fascia
- Lower spoiler
- Standard chrome bumper
- Grille assembly with SS badge
- Two headlight assemblies with doors and motors
- Two lower running light assemblies
- All required mounting brackets
- Wiring harness assembly
Camaro owners can purchase the Retrokits separately for installation by a local body shop, or they can turn their car over to the experts at Lingenfelter to receive a turnkey package complete with paint and other desired upgrades, like the LPE 800 horsepower turbocharged LS7 Camaro L28 engine and performance package.
The non-RS system kit prices not installed in $6,850, while the price when installed and painted by LPE is $8,550. The RS system kit not installed is $8,150, and the installed price is $9,750.

The slanted angle of the headlights looks terrible (and amateur as far as design/fitment goes). It was an interesting thought to try something like this, but I can't think of a single area that's been changed that actually looks like an improvement.
