My question is why? You know your car is a 1LE, so is the badge for other people? First, other people don’t care about your car, only you do. Second, most people have no clue what a 1LE is. Third, for the people who do know they would know what to look for.
I have seen some LT1 with black hood wrap and spoilers made to look like a 1LE. I take it as a compliment that they like the look of an 1LE. To me that is good for resale. My opinion, the car looks good as it is. It is fine if you think it needs more, but that is also just your opinion.
PS. If someone with an LT1 put a 1LE badge on their car that would be wrong.

Exactly my point in my earlier posts. As I said, far be it from me to tell someone else what to do with their car. God Bless ya'll, the freedom to screw up your car is part of being an American! But am I not allowed to share an opinion on the board, that may be shared with oh, I don't know, over half the public, on this topic of adding stickers to your car? Perhaps if you hear it here, inside a relatively safe anonymous space, from actual car people, someone who is thinking about adding stickers to their car, may consider the alternative viewpoint and reconsider their options when they realize how it may be perceived by others in the car community?
I echoed the same points on who this label is intended for...? Most non-car people would have no idea, and the ones that do, will laugh when they walk away.
My fave part is the same folks who say "I don't care what other people think" are sure as heck quick to get defensive when they find out someone else thinks they are silly.
Not every mod is a good mod, boys......
BTW- I've seen several LT1's with 1LE like options, sold that way by GM to look like fake 1LEs for higher the price with less to offer. I've seen LT1's on lots, with the recaro seats, hood wrap, spoilers, dual exhaust, and even mag ride, going for above 50. When you consider the fact that I paid 43k for my 1LE brand new, and it has all that plus the ZL1 suspension and cooling setup (ediff, added coolers, etc), better dashboard, etc etc whereas the LT1 has the suspension off the V6, geee... I wonder why the Camaro died, eh. Seen many brand new LT1-fake-1LEs like that sitting on lots in recent years, but the last 1LE I ever saw on a lot was the one I bought 4 years ago just before COVID. Perhaps those 1LE stickers on ebay are intended for the guys that bought the dressed up LT1s?
