I just picked her up this evening. I love the V8!! More pics to come. Also, I have to put on the bracket for the front plate, damn NY. I have it and it has instructions, it looks fairly easy. Is it easy?

Thanks

I imagine it is fairly easy. If you were close I would swap you grills. I bought mine and the holes were already there for a front LP bracket.

I love this car.
It is such a different animal than my 2011 2LT/RS. The V8 is just a beast. The handling and road manners are head and shoulders above my 2011. I attribute this to the Magnetic Ride Control, but it also takes the bumps and potholes much better than my 2011.
I love the dash layout and how you can change it. I also like the changeable mood lighting. Oh, and that exhaust sound!!! Even on Tour mode is intoxicating! Hello smiles, goodbye gas mileage!

I do find it kinda stupid that there are no grommets to hold the passenger mat in place. The previous owner had Weathertech mats and the passenger side mat slides all over the place when you get in and out of the car.

DO NOT drill that bracket into your front bumper. Get the Sto n Sho bracket, super easy install, easy to remove and no holes in your car!

I'll counter that.

don't get the sho n sto either. Get the zl1 addons tow hook plate. Attaches to the tow hook mount.

Having owned a 2010 2LT and then a 2012 2SS, the 2017 is a totally different animal. The word that best describes it is refined. As far as the floor mats I recommend the Camaro all weather mats. Were an option for mine and the fit perfect and don't slide.

Refined is a good word for it!

What is that shaft attached to behind the grille? Is it easy to install?

I would leave the front plate off, it looks horrible! When I lived up in NY many years ago, I ran with no front plate on my '98 SS, never got hassled for it.
