The Chevy Camaro will continue to be offered with the Shock and Steel Edition package for the 2023 model year and will also be available to order with the Sharkskin Metallic exterior paint option, GM Authority has learned.
For those readers who may be unaware, the Shock and Steel package (RPO code B2E) brings a variety of aesthetic upgrades to the Chevy Camaro’s exterior and interior. The package is tagged with RPO code B2E and is offered on 2LT, 3LT, and 2SS trim levels, as well as both the Coupe and the Convertible body styles. For the 2023 model year, the Shock and Steel package will include the following equipment:
- 20-inch blade design aluminum wheels (2LT and 3LT only, RPO Q7F)
- 20-inch blade design aluminum wheels (2SS only, RPO 56Y)
- Carbon Flash-painted outside mirrors
- Center stripe (Silver when Rapid Blue is ordered; Shock when Black, Sharkskin Metallic or Summit White is ordered)
- Fuel filler door in Black with visible carbon fiber insert
- Yellow-painted calipers (RPO J6E)
- Black sueded knee pads, (RPO S0U)
- Carbon fiber instrument panel molding (RPO 3DL)
The 2023 Chevy Camaro Shock and Steel Edition will be offered in the following exterior colors (paint codes listed in parentheses):
- Black (GBA)
- Rapid Blue (GMO)
- Sharkskin Metallic (GXD)
- Summit White (GAZ)
As GM Authority reported previously, the 2023 Camaro will be offered with two new exterior paint colors. One of these will in fact be Sharkskin Metallic, which arrives in place of Satin Steel Metallic (paint code G9K) while the other will be Radiant Red Tintcoat, replacing Wild Cherry Tintcoat (paint code GSK). The Chevy Camaro is expected to receive some other minor changes for the 2023MY, too, however full details on these changes have yet to come to light. GM Authority expects mild revisions in the way of available options and equipment.
As a reminder, the current, 2022 model year Chevy Camaro represents the seventh model year of the sixth-generation sports car. It’s offered with four available engines, including the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT1 gasoline engine, and the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine for the range-topping ZL1 performance trim.
Photos of the Chevy Camaro Shock and Steel Edition in the new Sharkskin Metallic exterior color were not available at the time of publication.

Please tell me their will be a ZL1….
My 2022 ZL1 finally went to Code 3400 (specs input into computer) last week, so it’s scheduled to start the build by end of April. Sales person told me it could take a month to build. Then it’s off to Hennessey for 350 HP upgrade. I’m probably looking at early June for completion of upgrade (original order date 11/11/21). Give me patience Lord, but hurry!
Iv had a 2021 an a 2022 I received neither. The dealership ship said we will roll you’re order over to A 2023. I said no I’m over the Waite. I’m going for a scat pack.
I ordered my riverside blue in July/21…. jan /22,, my salesman calls me with a 22, close enough to my order…. looked at it and fell in luv… damn right I bought t.. worth the wait?? Yes! Best thing I bought after my original owner 76 vette.. go chevy!
Green must not be a color any more.
Chevy should have stayed with the ZL1 front end look. Everything sense then has been a disaster. How stupid is the design teams? Just listen to the enthusiast.
Received my 2022 2SS Camaro on January 30, 2022. I’ve only got 22 miles on it yet. Spring is in the air so it won’t be long before I’m out on the road. It’s a convertible , wild cherry tint with polished chrome wheels. Wisconsin roads were ready and willing to go.
My Camaro 2ss has been produced, but I haven’t seen a VIN #. When are VIN numbers assigned?
