Default New kid on the block

I figured I'd introduce myself... I got tired of tinkering with Honda's, and decided it was time for a change. I picked up a 2002 Camaro SS 35th aniversary today... 54,000 miles, T-tops, leather. Came with a bunch of aftermarket stuff installed, the main things I can remember right now being:

AFR 205 heads
MS3 cam
Yank 4000 stall
Richmond 4.10 gears
Pacesetters and full exhaust
SLP lid and intake
AC and heat delete
double roller timing chain and other valvetrain goodies
bushings
and a bunch of other stuff.

Car is pretty much immaculate, no blemishes, nice stock leather interior with the exception of an Autometer tach and shift light combo. It's sitting on chrome Vette wheels wrapped in Nitto NT555's.

This thing is ridiculous... Idles nice at around 900 with a nice lope, and screams when I lay on the gas. It's no Honda, that's for sure Pulling onto base today, every cop at the gate stopped and stared... It's a head turner.

I picked it up for $14900. What do you guys think? Decent price?

I've got all my RPO codes already ... First thing I did was use the VIN decoder/RPO finder at CompNine to get the RPO codes....
"There are 5 2002 CAMARO 2 DR vehicles (0.015%) matching your exact options list. There are 20 (0.059%) with at least as many options."
Which RPO codes ya want to know about?

Color is 28U, blue metallic.

And yes, I've checked out my sail panel. Why do you ask?

bubbles... You mean paint bubbles? If so, nope. I went over the whole car. No paint bubbles, no rust. No oxidation. paint is mint. One Very small ding (half the size of a dime) in the driver's rear quarter, without cracked paint. I had to look for it to find it again. Only other defect is the bottom of the nose on the front bumper has a few very small rock chips. Again, very hard to see.
