Dunno if it's just me or the way the pic was taken, but check out the pic showing the engine. Look at the rad header or whatever it's called, and look at the finish of the black paint (where the GM Performance tag is)
Mine is nice n shiny smooth (and looks great when it's all clean n waxed up IMO )

This one here looks kinda semi gloss and not all that primo.

I'm quessing other SS's are looking good on that header piece, and that just makes me think it might have had some body work/paintwork done. And might have had a half ass job with the paint in that area.

Unless the reserve is super low, i'd be a lil leery of this one, just getting a bad vibe on how good this SS might be.

Kinda thinking about asking the seller if the car has had any body/paintwork done to it,,,and see what they say...

Thats what mine looks like. It is from the rust-proofing sound dampening spray they use.

Ahhh, makes sense.

I noticed that and thought right away that it mighta been a crappy refinish job after a crunch or something.

Not all, the different drivers seat is the performance seat. You can buy the stuff and make the passenger side to look like that too if you choose.

Am I not in-the-know or did GM put the window controls on the door handle on the SS models? Mine are in the front console between the driver and passenger
