It'll come off today and I'll figure something out with the holes.

The recall hasn't even been taken care of yet on this car, which sold me even quicker.

Nice! And it's a SS/RS, LS3/6M, w/performance shifter and Recaros. Way to go! Does it have NPP and do the front and rear seats match each other? I thought I read somewhere that they still put the standard rear seat in the SS w/Recaros. I don't know why they would do this because I thought that a ZL1 rear seat matched the Recaros perfectly. Why wouldn't they put them in?
I have no idea why they put that tacky piece of chrome across the top of the grille on the '14 RS. It looks so out of place. I think I'd scuff it and spray it with satin black paint. I'd think that would look better and hold up better than plasti dip.

There's a vendor somewhere that sells color matched push in plugs for those holes. I didn't think the dealers were allowed to sell Camaros, new or used, without that recall being done.

I was surprised about the key as well. I test drove an 1LE with hardly any options on it and saw the key and was heart broken because I really loved the 1LE. Then he showed me the black beauty you see here and it had every option I wanted/needed. It doesn't have NPP exhaust because I'm already putting headers on it tomorrow and full custom exhaust and intake/tune. I'll lose warranty but I don't mind it.


The rear seats don't match the suede recaros but once i put the harness bar in for the seat harness' I won't be able to seat people back there anyway.

I was honestly looking for a reason to buy a new Camaro anyway. It was just convenient at the time that this exact car was there.
