Default Got my first ss camaro!

So excited!!! I'm 18 years old and just picked up my first 2000 SS Camaro. It's 100% Original with 65,000 Miles. The car is an SLP car. It's a 6speed and has t-tops with leather interior. The tires are brand new all around with 2 brand new tires and the SLP car cover. The car was also just serviced. New brakes, oil change, rad flush, spark plug change, and new cats. The car was owned by the original owner and was always garaged kept during winters. The car is pretty much flawless and has very little to no scratches. It's in amazing condition for the year. I am beyond happy with my find. The only downside is the headlights are foggy.... I was surprised to find no bubbling on the pilar... Ill attach some pictures. let me know what you guys think.

Looks good! I picked up the same car about 7 months ago. I'm only 17, very fun to drive. Love those wheels to, I have a set in my garage I need to put on.

Very nice car indeed. I would have slapped the previous owner though for putting that awful steering wheel cover on!

Just an FYI, every single LS1 SS that was ever produced was done by SLP. They are all SLP cars.

Very nice find. Headlight restoration is a common thing to have to do with these as they age. It's due to UV exposure and lack of protection (such as wax). You can restore the originals, or replace them if you wish.

Wish i had an ss but my z is good enough for me. As for the slp package i dont think they all came like that. I belive slp got the ss put on an exhaust and high flow lid? Maybe some suspension? Someone help me out with that one.

Then you think wrong.

The base SS package was done by SLP. The additional SS options (if so equipped) were done by SLP. If the car is a 4th gen and said "SS" on it before it was ever titled, it was done by SLP. Take any VIN number for any original 4th gen SS and call SLP, and you can get a build number - because they did the conversion.
