Chevy is bringing out a new line of custom accessories and add-ons for some of its most popular vehicles, and it is heading with SEMA with four concepts to demonstrate just what is possible with the new visual upgrades. The new line of accessories is called Red Line, and SEMA will see special Red Line edition versions of the Camaro, Malibu, Silverado, Trax, and Colorado. Chevy also previewed photos of a special Red Line version of the Spark RS, but the sporty hatch won’t be making the journey to SEMA.
Most of the changes made to the various cars are small and subtle details like altered badging, tinted lenses on the headlights and taillights, and various trim changes, but lots of larger details like suspension lowering kits and new alloy wheels are also included.
Now Chevy is quick to point out that some of the changes on the Red Line concept cars are currently custom-made pieces, but I promise that if there is enough input and desire, Chevy will put the parts into production.

PRESS RELEASE
Themed collection highlights production, concept components
DETROIT – Blending equal parts style and functionality, Chevrolet’s Red Line Series concept vehicles demonstrate the lifestyle and personalization possibilities of the brand’s latest vehicles – all with a street-smart aesthetic.
Chevrolet previewed the Red Line concepts today, including Trax, Malibu, Camaro, Colorado and Silverado 1500 models, ahead of their public debut at the SEMA Show, on November 3. The preview also included the sporty Spark RS concept.
“The Chevrolet Red Line Series concepts integrate accessories that offer greater personalization choices,” said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “Each vehicle wears production and concept accessories thematically linked under the Red Line Series banner. We look forward to gauging public reaction at the SEMA Show and other venues.”
All of the production and concept accessories were developed in Chevrolet’s design studio with the vehicles themselves. The production accessories will be available as the 2016 models arrive in dealer showrooms.
“Chevrolet Accessories bring value and the added security of knowing the parts are designed, engineered, tested and backed by the same team that developed the vehicles,” said Roger McCormack, director, Accessories & Performance Parts Marketing.

Spark RS concept
Built to showcase dynamic appearance of the all-new, 2016 Chevrolet Spark, this concept applies the sporty RS treatment that has distinguished Camaro, Sonic and Cruze production models.
The Spark RS features a concept carbon-fiber front splitter, rocker extensions and a carbon-fiber rear-lower extension. Seventeen-inch wheels inspired by the Corvette Z07 fill out the wheel openings, while a lowered suspension gives the car an aggressive stance. The exterior is finished in Dark Liquid Switchblade Silver, with custom graphic accents.
“Every Chevrolet has the DNA of the Corvette and the Spark RS concept shows how the brand’s smallest car can deliver big on personalization,” said Todd Parker, director of design, Global Chevrolet. “It advances the RS heritage and interprets it in an entirely new way.”
The Spark RS concept is the result of a collaboration between Chevrolet’s design studios in North America and Korea. Chevrolet is gauging public opinion of the car in its evaluation for possible production.
