New to me Bright Yellow 2015 1LE

I had been itching to get back into a 5th gen for a bit so I started looking for one about 2 months ago. Found several local to the DFW area but they were either black, which I didn't really want, or just more than I wanted to spend. So, I expanded my search and after missing out on a couple of candidates, I found this car in Florida.

1 owner 2015 1SS 1LE with 52k miles. Factory options are Boston Accoustic sound, RS package and stainless steel pedal covers.

Super, super clean car that was previously owned by a forum member and traded in at an exotic/high end car dealership. It wasn't their typical inventory so they were eager to move it. We agreed on a price and I set up shipping with Reliable to bring it to Texas.

It had some tasteful mods done by the previous owner. Corsa cat back, Oracle led side markers, front splitter protectors, GM molded splash guards and Weathertech floor liners. It was also de-badged and 6.2L badges were added to the fenders.






I already have some mods coming for it. Here's what on my to-do list so far.

-Painted ZL1 rockers
-2SS console gauge cluster
-Phastek short throw shifter
-1LE badges from emblempros
-Side marker overlays from bigwormgraphix
-Interior footwell lighting from bigwormgraphix
-Mylink backup camera from Gen5diy
-Yellow/black painted bowties from rivercitycreations
-Leather interior upgrade or oem Recaros
-Supercharger at some point in the future

Thanks for the comments, everyone. The sun popped out for a couple of days so I took some pics all cleaned up with the ZL1 side skirts. It has been cold and rainy so I cleaned the car in the garage using Optimum No Rinse car wash. I love that stuff. Makes winter washing in the garage a breeze.

New Speed Dawg shift knob installed. Not sure if I like the feel as much as the factory knob just yet.

Added the bowtie to the back. I haven't decided if I prefer it with or without yet.
