So I looked a little deeper at the pictures on their site from this link and you can see some pretty distinct chips/damage to the front of this car with the original bumper cover on it. It looks like there is a good gash next to the passenger side DRL. My guess is they replaced it because of that and just ordered the wrong one.

That looks more like bugs on the nose. If those pics are older it could have been during love bug season...and the front of the car could look like that after a couple days of driving. Being a '12 it could have been a demo ride for the dealer. One of the demos they had when I was buying mine had 5000 miles on it (and they only wanted to come off a few hundred dollars).

But your right. That is definitely the exact car with its proper nose on it, just old pictures.

I love V8 camaros...but that mail slot is just wrong on so many levels. I do understand that some people like it...but there should at least be an option to delete.

I wouldn't mind the mail slot if it infact served an operational function. I like the lower portion of the SS clip. The fake air intake just kinda messes up the front IMO.

OP great find. I'd buy this car and put RS badges on it. That would be fun.

I would avoid this car. It's either a factory defect, (which makes you wonder what else this car has wrong with it) or it is a dealer trying to cover up some apparent damage, (which makes you wonder what else this car has wrong with it).

Make that two of us!

I understand that there are some who simply don't like the look, but for those who don't just because it's "non-functional", it can be made functional very easily.

Ill go one step farther and say I'm glad they made the v6 and ss look different but not to different. Heck if it were up to me the ss's would have the heritage grill and v6 the stock regular one.
