And no this is not a debate on the auto vs. manual either. Whether you drive a manual or auto, who wouldn't like the better suspension? The aftermarket success of the splitters and z28/1LE wheels is proof there is a demand for them on all models. So, keep the 1LE manual but offer some of the upgrades on other models without calling it a 1LE would be a success IMO.
They do offer this as dealer installed options from the factory with warranty. I do realize that is not exactly what you mean though. Sadly, wheels are not part of that option. As you eluded to though, the aftermarket will allow you to get that same look at a decent savings from factory.
