SS hood, SS spoiler, 17" Zr1's or 17" SS 10 spokes, thicker front sway bar, & the SS had a different muffler.
Centermount exhaust was an SS option, the blackwing lid was an option, I believe there were different bilstein shocks & different springs were an suspension option as well.
There you go. No bullshit, no extra opinions. Just the info you inquired about.

Now for my opinion. It's your car, do what you want. You want to make it look like an SS? Who gives a **** it's your car. You want to paint it pink & glue ****** to the hood? Who gives a **** it's your car.

Mod it the way you want, drive it like it was meant to be driven & enjoy it for what it is.

Agreed. Those hoods look great with the spoiler

+1 w/the "everything but the SS badge" opinion.....

.....but if you wanted to be super-duper extra cool, you could add the Auburn Differential and adjustable Koni's like my 1LE....but then again, in the end, all you'd have is a glorified Z28 like my SS is anyhow...

I have no issue with it. They are identical cars aside from some cosmetic stuff.

Now, when I see a regular Corvette with Z06 badging, that irritates me.
