Sounds like it would be difficult to reposition the camera from the old spoiler mounted one. I have seen the shark fin one how the 1le wing blocks it some.
I am sure I want the magna ride. But I like the 1le spolier and possibly wheels but I don't want to lower it unless I can keep very close to the stock ride. I know you would need to lower it to make it look proper with the 1le wheels.
Also super irritated they stopped making it just when I am thinking about buying one. Bonus is I assume less likely a standard used Zl1 was tracked. But I wonder if they plan a gas or hybrid or electric for the next when and when? who knows, but I don't want any electric crap. I haven't driven a camaro since they came out in 2010, I didn't like it at the time but the new ZL1 seems pretty cool all around. The gt350 was too weak on power for me and not very special. Challengers feel poor quality and boaty. Too bad no Zl1's on Turo right now. I will have to go to the dealer to test them out.

And yes I do prefer the rear bumper on the 2017/2018, but prefer a newer one unless I decide on mosaic black.
Both the SS 1LE and the ZL1 are great cars. I have one of each. The 1LE is the best bang for the buck and in my opinion the sweet spot in the Camaro line up. It's basically a ZL1 without the LT4 engine and related parts. The 1LE is so much fun to drive because it is so balanced. The ZL1 is fantastic too, but it has so much power that it's hard to really enjoy it in the same way on the street. A quick dab of the accelerator and you are easily over the speed limit. It sure is fun to experience though.

I could take or leave the rear view camera though. I don't have it in my 1LE as it is a 1SS. I rarely use it in the ZL1. I guess I'm too old school. I like my driving the analog way.

Also, I like the 1LE wheels so much that I put a set on my ZL1 too.

Good luck with your decision. I agree with what others have mentioned. Test drive a few.
