Theres just way too much missing from this car to make me believe its a real 1LE

Never mind all the performance upgrades. It doesn't have ZL1 side skirts or Grand Sport stripes so it sucks. What has happened to the Camaro world??

Ur right, it just looks like a modified stock SS one. Which I think in the long run will allow them to make more money off of parts, more people will be switching for that to get quad tips rather than the ZL1 diffuser.

Because the ZL1 diffuser requires more modification, and then sort of needs side skirts and a splitter to look complete

Some of the pics are from GM themselves, remember that the original ZL1 pictures didnt even have the ZL1 grille, and had a ZL1 on the shift knob. The original camaro concept had a bunch of diff stuff as well.
Things change from planning to production

Transformers killed it and brought in people that just like "pretty".

Plenty of people in this thread that don't need to be looking at a 1LE because they simply don't get the purpose of the car.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but these pics came directly from a GM site so this is the real deal. The older pictures we saw were from the "concept" version showed at Sema last year. I agree that it does not look nearly as good but there are several hardware changes/upgrades so to me its still worth looking into. I personally plan on adding the ZL1 side skirts and rear difuser setup. I would also like to add the ZL1 spoiler but may not due to the decklid modifications required.

The original 1LE pics from gm were the concept car. What you see in this thread is the actual production car. There's always a good chance of something changing from concept to production version.

Just look at the CTF 1LE cars that are in the ZL1 forum, they look just like this one.

You cant just get the ZL1's quad tips. There are four exhaust tips because the ZL1 (and the 1LE) has the dual mode exhaust system. There's a solenoid at the front of the muffler that, during normal driving, reroutes the exhaust through the chambered muffler. But under a heavier foot, the solenoid opens, closing off the chambered section of the muffler, therefore letting the exhaust gases exit out of the "straight through" section. The dual tips per muffler are the two different exits, one for normal load, and one for performance driving load. So no, they didn't just get the ZL1 tips. And besides all that, the point of the 1LE is look like a slightly race-modified SS. Its not gonna look like a completely different car. I agree, the ZL1 rear spoiler and maybe a 1LE-specific hood (other than the matte black wrap) would have been nice, but that's not what GM is doing with it. This IS what the 1LE will look like. The sideskirts and hash marks were all on the concept version. I'm sure GM deamed that they were unnecessary for one reason or another. Maybe they want to keep the side skirts specific to the ZL1. Maybe they thought the has marks invading on the matte balck hood didn't look racey enough. Who knows? If you dont like it then dont buy it. No one is holding a gun to your head and telling you that you WILL buy a 1LE Camaro or they'll blow your head off.

What modifications are required to the decklid for the ZL1 rear spoiler?

While it's a little disappointing that the hash marks, ZL1 spoiler, and side skirts didn't make it to production, I'll take the performance upgrades and do the cosmetic changes myself. Looking forward to this car and can't wait to drive one!
