Default 2000 SLP SS camaro..did SLP paint fender bolts after hood install and realign fenders

I am purchasing my first LS1 on tuesday, being a 2000 SS camaro with Y2Y slp options. The car is flawless with 39k miles. The car being red has brighter colored fender bolts under the hood which the owner claims is indicative of the car being an SLP car in which after SLP installed the hood, they realigned the fenders as well. Can anyone verify this information or collaborate their SS Camaro has obvious different colored fender bolts.

look for the WU8 code, and the PBT code, then called SLP... SLP will confirm and give you the Build number for that year as well.
Chances are thats just shitty repainting

There is evidence of things being realigned on mine but
there is no mix-n-match color like you describe.

That doesn't sound right. Call SLP and ask them. Their customer service is great

they didn't document that for my particular car...just in general they stated that sometimes touch up paint was used on the fender bolts after hood installatoin...not a different color..rather a different shade of the bright red the car is painted with.

I ended up buying the car today 39k miles...Y2Y code with dual dual, bilstein suspension, auburn diff...they guy also owns 2 zo6's and all were stored in a heated garage with dehumid..and is 100% stock aside from the blackhawk airbox. Car looks like it rolled off the showroom.
