Golly gee thats swell looking car Wally!

Looks like mine except mine is black, with black 5 spoke rims and is not a 1LE, but has a 6spd man with dual mode exhaust and magnaride.

Thanks guys!! And it sure is great having my first NEW car. I'll definitely be looking into some of the mods mentioned eventually. Gotta get the bank account back on par first though before I go buying anything pricey. I'll stick to cheap stuff like window tinting and vinyl to wrap the center of the bowties black.

Congrats

My '151LE was that color.

Welcome to the 6th side

Is it normal for these headlights to humm when they are on? Every time I go out to the garage and unlock the door the lights turn on and I hear a humming noise.

Buy a skip shift eliminator, for sure. A lot of people will tell you "you don't need it" but trust me, its so much better without skip shift.

+1 this is what I did immediately. Minus the skip shift. Even with moderately aggressive throttle in 1st gear, the skip shift doesnt cut in. I think it's happened to me only twice and only while barely putting around.

Also, get some Adam's Matte Protectant and Matte Detailer for the hood wrap.

Normal. Not sure if it is the headlights, but yes, if you unlock the door, something kicks on and hums.

Thanks! Figured it was normal but good to know it's not a defect of some sort.

I'm a bit sentimental about my older cars and try to take a photo of my trade-in with the new car.

Never a fan of the 1LE?!

Wow, for me, it and the ZL1 are the only Camaros I would drive. Same with the GS Corvette. Standard Camaro and Corvette trims look boring to me in comparison. Chevy got it right with the stance, wheels, graphics, etc. It is the first car I've owned that I didnt immediately lower and put different wheels on. Lol

It's all good, just surprised to hear that. Just proves how much personal preferences vary which is why the arguments over the 2019 are so worthless. People like what they like and dislike what they dislike! ;-)

Thanks!

I was actually originally thinking white since I figured it would make the black bit stand out the best but when I saw how bright the red was I knew that was the way to go. The blue in the end was going to be my 2nd choice and white 3rd. If I couldn't get one of the 3 before the 18s were gone then I was going to be waiting awhile before my next purchase since I don't like the 19 from what I've seen in pictures.

The feeling of bringing a Brand New car that YOU want to your home, and seeing it in your own driveway... there's just nothing that touches that.
