Default quick question on real ss'

do they all have "CAMARO SS" above the radio or do some have just "CAMARO." All the ones I've seen with the ss have had chrome wheels. Are they all real or just the ones with the ss inside?

If you paid the $45 (option) when you bought it, it says SS on the Camaro plaque over the HVAC controls.

I greatly appreciate the help because I have been looking to buy one. I know about the Wu8 code and all that but I didn't want to travel 200 miles to find a fake ss.

The dash plaque was an option, as said above.

If you have the "WU8" RPO code on the SPID sticker, then you have a real SS. Dash plaque has nothing to do with being real or not.
