b) OP, did you check the trunk build label under mat to see if the factory 1LE code shows there?
"Hood Wrap Care on Camaro 1LE
The 1LE package features a matte black hood graphic manufactured and warranted by 3M. To maintain the appearance of the graphic, hand washing or a touchless car wash is recommended.
Tip: Do NOT polish or wax the graphic. Using polish, wax or any solvent-containing products will discolor the graphic. The hood wrap on this vehicle is not a GM warranty part. Owners are directed to contact their dealer for any warranty claims. The warranty form for this graphic is included in the glove box of the vehicle. Dealers are to arrange an assessment of the claim with 3M."

I did. It's there! Also; I was a detailer in a past life, i ONLY handwash my cars; even in the dead of winter. Also, I have matte vinyl cleaner specifically made for graphics.

Thanks much for the info! Can't wait to take delivery...to my garage...and cover it for 3 months haha

If you're going with a manual you're dead even. The 8 speed automatic is quite nice but a tune on the 6 speed auto can get wild and a lot of fun. At the end of the day ask yourself, are you going to be happy with the older technology, style, but save yourself $20k, or will you want to have the newest car, technology, style, but cost yourself an additional $20k just to say it's new? The '15 won't be your '10 even if it is the same generation.
Good advice. I was always more a fan of the 10-13 than the 14-15 update, mainly the taillights, but for the 1LE i'll let that go!

The '10-'13's look old now compared to the '14-15's. Good choice on the year and model!

Congrats on your new ride! Enjoy the heck out of it and I'm sure I'm correct in this assumption, happy modding!

Bumping for photos

Love this car! Now that the snow is flying, its away and covered.




Thanks for everyone's help. Glad to be back! Also - its a 2SS 1LE, I don't know why I thought it was a 1SS.

Sharp looking car! It's getting cold on this side of PA. My '15 is in the garage and I'll probably put its cover on this wknd. I was hoping for one more ride but I think winter is here.

I was going to advise the older model. With that extra money you'll be able to pay for upgrades if you so desire. I have tons of Z/28 parts on my car, which started life as a 1LE. If not, spend the money on the kiddo! haha CONGRATS!
