That's weird how your 98 Z28 you had, same color as your supposed SS, had the same mods that your SS has. And how there's 15+ threads of you looking for ss hoods and spoilers.

I understand that, but with laser, what do they target? Anything that reflects well. Headlights, grills, license plates. You can actually cut down the distance that they can get a reading from, and if you have a radar detector you actually have a chance to get their laser signal before they can get a reading. I know most people don't care, but I'm from Ohio, and ohio is laser central and I do a lot of driving on the turnpike, so I do everything I can to cut down on distance they can get me.

Yea, the link I gave was pretty vague but there is a lot of great info on there. Guys of Lidar have video's proving that passive measures can be taken to cut down the distance that they can get a laser reading, which in my opinion, thats worth it to me.

This is starting to get pretty off topic so I apologize.

I'm not picking a fight. Just don't lie about something you don't have.

Who on earth, other than your dumb ***, gives a flying **** if he says his car is an SS? Its his car he can do and say whatever the hell he wants to. And yes you are picking a fight, by coming into his thread and talking **** when he was just asking about a specific color to paint his grill. The only reason this would ever be a valid argument is if he was trying to sell his car and pass it off as an SS, which he is not, and even then the person buying the car should have enough common sense to look at the door code. So please stop posting unless you have a legitimate response to the original question. I mean your seriously acting like this guy fucked your mom and sister........ at the same time.......... and then later later forced you to watch the video...... Lighten up and stop worrying about pointless ****. To the OP I would also definitely paint it gloss black.
