Thanks very much. I wasn't too fond of the stripe package, but it was ordered from the factory and applied by the dealership. I thought I could remove it fairly easily if I decided to. But, now, I think it adds a little to the appearance. The 1LE wheels are a definite plus and when I got them basically free, who wouldn't like them?! Also, the spoiler package on the 1LE is killer and this car had the same painted body color.

When the insurance company sold the car (technically) to my buddy, it took him a few weeks to get the parts. He put an SS spoiler trunk (looked awful) on it and the paint on the trunk and bumper cover wasn't up to my standard. I sold him the wheels and tires off my new Camaro and surprisingly they looked good on the car, but certainly not as good as the 1LE wheels. Anyway, I drove it after he fixed it up and, no question, the 1LE is an awesome, awesome car and I do miss the very positive handling and braking of the 1LE and the PDR. I only drove the car 4 times...bringing it home in the rain was the first and convinced me to be extra cautious in wet weather. The rest of my drives were in cold early March weather and you couldn't give it full throttle because of the traction problem on cold days. But, it was awesome and I do miss it. My SS would easily beat it on the drag strip and I know that isn't the 1LE's forte.
Is your ss an automatic?
