BMP-1LE's New Ride
For my 40th birthday I wanted to get a car, but not just any car. After many years of not having a sports car I truly missed the culture that surrounds having a sports car, the research on the right model, the maintenance /detailing, the meets and the sheer thrill of driving. I owned S2000's for many years and then got hooked on the Jeep JK hobby but truly missed driving a well handling powerful machine.
While looking at a used Scat Pack Challenger at the Chevy dealer a 2 SS Camaro was parked in the next spot. I could not believe the overall size difference between the two. After seeing the two together, I decided on the 1LE package Camaro SS. The added features of the package and overall performance really sold me. I went home and looked at the dealers inventory and saw a Hyper Blue 1LE in Transit. It had the color I wanted and the black bowtie option. It was too good to be true. After only 2 visits and a few phone calls we settled on a price. Part of my deal was the dealer was not to touch the car cosmetically (all mechanical prep was completed of course) I did not want hokey pins stripes or door edge guards; not sure why dealers still play this game. They also could not mount the front plate frame , wash or remove the interior plastics- this was a deal breaker. Dealer thought I was nuts and the manager asked me a few times "sure I can't give it a bath for you?" - No thanks Deal went well and drove it home to 2 days of washing, waxing and just staring at the car.  First look - First Wash / foam bath After two days of cleaning (my matte hood had issues, might have been in transport or bird droppings, I may replace it with a satin hood wrap) |

Looks nice, check out Adam's matte hood spray. It did wonders to making my wrap look better on my 1LE.

Stepped up my detailing game
New Car called for some new cleaning supplies.
Added to my Growing Griot's Garage obsession and fully committing to the two-bucket wash method My Quick Grab Wall Went from from two overhead cabinets to a full 6' locker once the 1LE arrived  Extras and Gallon refills Microfiber Collection Tools of the trade |

Congrats OP!!! Love the hyper blue. I chose red, but that blue is sweet!! Don't worry about the dealer thinking your crazy. I told my salesperson the same thing. Don't touch a darn thing, hahah!! I was fortunate my sales guy was a car enthusiast that owned a z06 so he u derstood where I was coming from. Put about three signs all over the car so no one would touch it, lol!!

Love that color. I like it without the hood wrap better. What was the part number on those splash guards?
