Oh! My bad! I forgot the rules!

Rule 1: The Camaro factory doesn't make mistakes.

Rule 2: If the Camaro factory makes a mistake, refer to Rule 1.

My bad.

If that's really the same car in those photos (and it sure does look like it), it had a SS bumper cover when those photos were taken, which makes look it look like a dealer screw-up.

I almost bet that something happened to the front bumper during shipment or maybe it got hit on the lot. The dealer took it to their body shop to get repaired. The body shop ordered the LT bumper instead of the SS bumper.....painted it, put it on, and sent it out the door.

I worked at a dealership body shop for several years and we fixed all kinds of cars that had shipment damage (or damage from being on the lot)...we had to repaint roofs, doors, quarters...and replace bumpers.
I had to replace an entire quarter panel on a brand new Avalanche (someone hit it with a snow plow)....and yes....they still sold it as new.
Just a thought

For the Op that said you didn't get the SS because of the mail slot. No one is buying that as an excuse.

Im probably gonna go grocery shop in that direction just to ask them, lol.

It would not surprise me that this was a post-delivery damage based on this sad ZL-1 Story......

The same dealership of the OP (Brian Harris Chevrolet) also had a damaged ZL1 about a couple of months ago. GM would not let them sell it. They took the car back and destroyed it. Very sad...

Then they also took the red SS off the old one! So if that's the case then it's the dealer that knows something. This thread is fascinating reading.

Top grille fits V8 and V6 fascias. If it wasn't damaged, the whole grille could have been put on the new fascia.
