If you are in front of the car and open the hood, over to the left side and down is a sticker on the suspension with a date and time. People are mistakenly referring to that as their build date. It is not.

I guess we are talking about two different stickers. One on the Suspension components, and one on the body color painted upper unibody rail. I have never seen a sticker on the suspension so I'm not sure about that one.
The confusion continues.

There should be a sticker on the inside of the frame of the left door well. That sitcker has the Vin# and the build date.

There is a sticker under the hood on the passenger side frame rail. Mine states, 8/28/09. There is another on the frame in the back, Mine states 8/29/09. I just looked at the one on the back of the drivers door. It just says 8/09. I think the rear frame gets built the day before assembly. But, haven't heard any confirmation on that.

What does the sticker on the painted unidody rail have to do with the suspension ?. Of course the suspension was built before the car was on the assembly line.

Me too... the date on the sticker under the hood cooresponds with my build date too...

Ok here's the key ..when did you receive your VIN # ? If you were given the # on the 31st of August from your dealer then your car was assigned its VIN # either the 28th or 29th in the trim dept. The 08/09 on the inner door only lets you know the month and year of production build. The broadcast dates are for production control/scheduling in order to have your Camaro parts ready for your car ( sometime that week ) . Now based on your info i'd say your car was framed (bodyshop) on the 27th , Paint the 28th , Trim/Hardware the 29th and rolloff ( Chassis ) the 31st.

Its about as close as i can target your build info. Super60
