Can you please take some pictures and show us how it mounts?

i know that the Solstice front plate braket attaches through the hexagon shaped openings in the grille. in fact the front plate bracket has the same texture as the grille too, nice little touch there

Captive Test Fleet cars are 'saleable' cars-- meaning that while they will have retro-fits done on them -- they'll eventually be sold as used vehicles.

The cars you are seeing on the road today are Non-saleables -- meaning that

*sob* - -they will meet an unfortunate end.................

They have many pre-production parts -- they've had a lot of tough and rough miles put on them........and a lot of the interior panels do not have the final 'graining' applied........

Scott, I've got an idea what to do with the "non-saleables"!

Since they're going to the crusher......GM should consider selling the "remains" at ChevyMall, ie; a pic. of the new Camaro, with an actual piece of a Camaro enclosed in the frame...or something to that effect.

(its late, and it might be just my mind thinking crazy. )

I will step up to the plate and take one and save it from the crusher. I will let you GIVE it to me, so you don't have to "SELL" it.

I am willing to take one for the team

BTW, I already ordered Black 2SS, Inferno Orange interior, RS package, Ground effects. I order this thing long before the BLACK was shown on here, I was excited to see "my" car actually put together (exterior).

That is a very rare glipmse of the rumored "forcedinductionamusblownarantus" Camaro.

Very rare indeed. Coveted by camaro entusiasts around the world.... Placed on the endangered species list earlier this year. And never again seen since these pics were taken. This very well may be the only one left on the planet.

[Camaro_Corvette]

^What did happen to that car...We may never know?

[Hylton]

Not a big deal today but it's one of those pictures that will be a VERY BIG deal 40 years from now when a car historian looks back at the development of the 5th gen.
