I know I will be considered a Nut
Hey guys, quick question. I'm trading up to a 1LE from my V6. The 1LE I found is black 2SS with no RS. A few questions.
Can they remove the hood wrap and is the normal paint underneath? I like it better. Without the RS it will be missing the Halogen lights, correct? Are the taillights also different? Can dealer just install the Halogens and replace tailights? Any other differences without the RS? Question about wheels. Can wheels be stripped of black paint and what will be underneath? Look, I know by now you think I'm nuts. I love the 1LE feel when I drive it, the close ratio gearbox, the handling etc. I'm not in love with the all black look and black wheels. Has anyone else have a 1LE that doesn't have black wheels or no flat black hood? Jim Included a picture of my current 2LT to show you the look I like. |

Looks great... the flat is the trick... everyone that cleans with product has "some" sheen to it which ruins the looks. No shine for the win!! make sure the soap you use does not have any gloss or wax in it. Surprisingly most do...

Hood is painted body color under wrap and can be removed--rims don't have the best quality paint coverage on them--not sure if u could strip or not and if u did it wouldn't have shiny chrome look--people LIVE the black rims (on ZL1 also)-- I guarantee someone would buy them off u and/or trade stock rims--u will LOVE the car!!!!!

This is what they will look like stripped. Check with local wheel shops about blasting off the paint and polishing. They can chrome them if you want. |

Okay that sounds good
Thanks to Tbirdsleeve and Southern Comfort.
I will have dealer remove wrap if i buy it. I will ask his wheel guy to see what can be done with wheels. I love the polished ones on the ZL1 pace car. Black car with those polished wheels. Jim |

Yeah
Yes, and that Vette looks good as well. Do you have a ZR1 hood on that beauty?

@ Jims Mongoose - The non RS has the Halogen lamps. You must be talking about the HID (High Intensity Discharge) lamps. You can get aftermarket ones by Eagle Eye. If you get the HID factory ones, they will be quite expensive. The taillights are just a shade darker lens for the RS compared to the non RS.
I found Angel Eye headlights: http://www.carid.com/2013-chevy-camaro-headlights/ another link: http://www.phastekperformance.com/20...-Kit-s/523.htm for the

Thanks for the RS Correction
So bad@sscamaro, then the High Intensity Discharge lamps are what people are referring to when they say 'Halos', correct. If I get the car the dealer will throw those in or lose the deal.
Is it possible to get the darker lens for the taillights without buying the whole assembly? Thanks for the links. Jim |

It's not the lens it's the inner housing. Good luck with the dealer throwing in the HID's. U will need a hareness to make them work.

Water and soap is all you need to clean it off, that's what most owners with vinyl don't know.

Do people know that 3m warranties the wrap for life? Seems some people either don't know that or forgot.
