I came very close to buying one of them privately but ended up buying one at a GM Dealership. But the one I nearly bought had something what I thought was strange. It had a red SS emblem on the front grille. I thought all H50's had grey emblems in the front grille and rear bumper ? At the time I got a copy of the window sticker and it showed a dealer installed option called "SS Lower Grille W/Body-Colour Accented Grille Insert" for $605 CDN. I don't think I've seen many H50's with this option. Is that why it has a red SS emblem in the front grille ? It had the regular grey SS emblem on the back bumper. Never saw a carfax report but he said its never been in an accident. It only had 2,000 miles on it.

Yes the Grey emblems is stock. Our grille is often called the SEMA grille since it was shown off there as a GM Accessory Part before our cars were shown to the public. Our cars came standard with the SEMA grille and 50th specific color.

Was the interior correct? I know some places/dealers built their own 50ths by ordering the parts they could. Whoever ordered that car added that grille for some reason. Causing them to remove the stock 50th grille.

And gotcha on the import tax/shipping times.

Its 100% a Fifty here's a copy of the window sticker. Either a mistake from the factory or it has something to do with this "Lower Grille w/body colour accented grill insert" option on the car. I know the car was dealer optioned. Original owner purchased it after it had sat in the showroom for a few months. And hard to imagine any damage to the car with only 2,000 miles not to mention the owner says its clean which I believe.

And yes it was the fifty interior for sure.

Okay so not a clone. And with that line item in the options section then the dealer ordered it that way. Not sure why. I know Euro spec units didn’t get the SEMA style grille. But as far as I know all NA built models did.

Yes and didn't Europe also not get the front splitter. See I did learn something reading the first 500 pages of the thread. Anyways this must be something unique to Canada maybe, it will remain a mystery. I know somebody close to me interested in this car hence I'd like to figure this out.

I have a set of ORACLE markers and my right front has half of it burned out. ORACLE will not sell individual markers for replacements. I just ordered a set from Phastek made by HERO for under $100US. Hopefully reviews are accurate and these are awesome.

Diode does replacements on just one. Love mine from Diode Dynamics.

Hero makes decent stuff. Haven’t seen many with their side markers yet.

I think I prefer the GM ones but I like how these are longer for better coverage.

The gray accent SEMA grille comes with the red SS emblem so it appears that the dealer installed the grille as the kit came using the red SS emblem.

Hmm.

Now I’m confused. The F1FTY stock lower grill doesn’t have body color accents (gray), they’re silver. Pics don’t really capture it.

I’m curious if something was replaced due to damage during delivery or otherwise. Odd.

It doesn’t look like it was a case of fixing delivery damage. The option for the SEMA grille is listed on the Monroney sticker. The dealer would have had to be clairvoyant

I’m wondering if the dealer just made a mistake in ordering the car. Or If it was a special order, maybe the original owner specced it that way for who knows what reason. I’m surprised the order system would allow anyone to order that option, given that the H50 basically includes it, except with a grey emblem. Somebody paid $650 CDN for an emblem.

I agree with Martin's assessment. I'm thinking someone at the dealership ordered the car with as many options as possible and didn't realize that it already comes with a unique 50th grille. But either way someone thought the over the counter (optional) Nightfall Gray accent grille (which includes the red SS emblems) looked better than the factory installed Fifty grille and ordered it as an upgrade. When I stop in at the local Chevy dealerships by me, of the few Camaros that are on the lot they are usually loaded with quite a few extra options such as sunroofs, emblems, mud guards, all weather matts, trunk matt, etc. Stuff that just jacks the price up and they end up sitting there for months. But I can't complain as I ended getting a bunch of the optional Camaro stuff afterwards anyway.
