yeah they can, just like people buyin a Z28 and put SS decals on it, with the hood and spoiler . . . . don't see why someone would do that when they could spend the money and get the real thing, but hey it's their money gotta do what makes them happy

this made me laugh!!!! i know of people who say that a SS came stock with leather and if it has cloth it's not a real SS . . . . . statements like this prove drinkin alcohol before birth is a bad thing! SS owner with cloth seats and hard top . . . too bad there were no 1LE camaros in 2000 or i'd have one and yes i know i'm good luck with your search

side skirts are exactly like the term implies. underneath your door on a formula, there is 2-3 inches of trim and then nothing. on the TA, there's a lip.

| Lip


| no lip

no, they can tell you by the build sheet, let me back up. the build sheet is a sheet of paper that follows the car through the factory and each station where options are added is checked off on by the person working that station. if it got the ls1 the person putting the engine/transmission checked off on the LS1 box. if it got the T/A appaerence package, the person checked off on that. you will get a copy of this from the dealership.

sorry forgot that. i *think* its around 50 bucks for a new window sticker. im not sure about the buildsheet. just pop in and inquire about it. if its in your price range, go out and get your VIN and go from there.

This post was way out of line. There's no need to say stuff like that.

T/A very few ppl would go through the time and effort to make it a T/A if infact it was a Formy.

Because this thread is one of the most redundant and worst waste of storage space ever. How many times do people have to say the same thing before you get it? I can't believe this has gone on for 5 pages.

dude, dont worry about it. ive seen worse and so have the other repliers. this is actully legit and he has every right to be worried. ive seen people get ripped off on cars before and the only sure fire way find out forsure is to take your VIN to the dealership.
