Upgrading the knee pads in the 1SS from the hard plastic is a must. I first purchased a set of suede knee pads and then found a take off set of leather knee pads from a 2SS here on the forum. I like the leather on the doors, but the suede on the center console. Although I'm now thinking of using the leather on the center console in the warmer months and the suede in the cooler months.

Agree with you 100% on the knee pads. Overall, the I think they did a pretty good job on the Camaro interior but those knee pads stick out with how cheap they look. I went with the suede to match the wheel and seats. I imagine the leather would go well also. Either way it's a must IMO. The pads on the center console are jokingly easy to R&R. The doors made me a little nervous as the center metal clip seems to hang on for dear life.
My very first BMW was an 08' 135i 6MT. It was white/black Sensatac with the sport package being the only option. I absolutely loved that car. I came from a 21' M3 Competition that was an absolute rocket ship. It handled well, but felt more like a 5 series than a 3. I kept it about 7 months only putting 1300 miles on it. Sold it for a whopping 18K over what I paid for it at the beginning of this year.
In all, I went about 6 months without having a car. These forums and every video I could find on YouTube kept me going while I waited. I can't remember a car in recently memory that has made me feel like the Camaro. You know it's bad when you come up with excuses to drive it somewhere.
