Finally got my 1LE

I finally got my 1LE! I had a black RS and have regretted not getting the V8 since I bought it. I bought an ashen grey 2SS/1LE fully loaded with sunroof and navigation. The previous owner had done some modifications Im not too fond of. That idiot super glued the ZL1 emblem to the dash, which I didn't know and now i have to get that replaced. He also added a carbon fiber vinyl to the hood. I like it but at the same time I want the stock look of the hood. If I take it off will it peel the flat black vinyl too? and he switched the steering wheel bezel to a ZL1 bezel. I checked the price for the bezel and it costs $160 for a new one so I'll leave it alone for now. He also put a different spoiler on it which i like but i need to get it vinyl wrapped. I was quoted $290 here in Dallas. Is there a cheaper route but not plastic dip? The front bumper also has the license plate drilled in and the picture shows a photoshopped picture he sent me lol

heres some pictures too

So you are really liking the upgrade from the V6? I can't wait for my upgrade. Does it feel like an entirely new beast?!

That's kind of odd he added all the ZL1 stuff when it's not a ZL1. I mean, I can understand adding ZL1 parts so to speak, but why have ZL1 emblems???

So for launch control, you just put it in that mode, hold throttle all the way down, and let off the clutch fast and it does a pretty perfect launch?

Congrats!

The hood looks ok. I might keep that.

The ZL1 emblems have to go as you've already stated.

Great pick up. You'll love the power of the V8!
