Introduction

Hi All,
I'm a recent 1LE owner. I've wanted a gen5 ever since they came out. I finally got mine a couple of weeks ago. 2015 2SS/RS 1LE. I've been messing with older muscle for a while and also have a 70 chevelle SS 454. I've been using the camaro as my DD and just love it! Modern muscle is awesome! I have modernized the chevelle a bit with a BMR whole car suspension but it's a different animal as compared to this awesome 1LE. I had the camaro for only a week before our Basketball hoop fell on it denting the left fender pretty good, needless to say I am heartbroken over that little mishap. Here's a pic of the car before and after the Bball fiasco. Thanks for the great forum, there's a good amount of knowledge here and that's awesome!
Saying hello from NY,
Joey

Sorry about the mishap. Gives the car some character. At least it doesn't hurt the performance. I get over your way in the Winter to ride sleds. Your not to far from Empire Drags have you tried the car out there yet.

I haven't had the chance to get the car out to empire yet. My son and I were there a couple of weeks ago when "Street Outlaws" guys were there. Yeah I only live about a 1/2 hour from Empire so I'm sure I'll be testing her out!
The mishap with the fender will be fixed soon, after I calmed down for 2 days I realized it could have been much worse.

Check out Jim's East Coast Customz in Binghamton. He does awesome work if you ever want to get anything done or hydrographics.

Welcome to the family!

Congrats on the car, as far as the dent try to take to one of those Pop a Dent places they will fix it without painting the fender and its a lot cheaper it doesn't look like the paint its cracked so it should be a easy fix

Unfortunately the paint is cracked. Just can't see it on the picture. Also has a bad scratch in the hood wrap. Since it happened in my driveway and no one was driving my insurance company says my rates won't go up I'm gonna get a new fender, and a new wrap for the hood."one way or the other" because there wil be no bondo in this car!
I will for sure check out the guys in Binghamton. There's only a few places around here for performance and it's mostly old school muscle or rice tuners

Welcome to Club 1LE!

Sorry to see it got dinged, but sounds like you'll have it taken care of soon.

Have them put a new LF fender on it and call it good. It sucks for sure, but will be good as new! Welcome to the family!
