Its enough similar (whatever color) that a repaint would be easier to miss. This particular photo has some poor lighting making it all the more to ponder for those not working today. :)

I'm not sure it has been repainted.

 

You never know what "mistakes" the factory can make. I remember one back in 08 that bought an SS and it had an SS running board on one side and a regular running board on the other. The buyer (can't remember who it was) was the original owner and never noticed it until later.

 

We’ve also seen an SS come from the factory with an LS/LT rear bumper.
Stuff happens!
And we know this is just an exercise in cloning

 

This just came up on Ebay. Lousy pictures but appears to be white. Probably has been painted.

Never saw a white SS , cause they didn’t build one, which begs the question, a respray or a clone?

 

I think the vin supports a 2010 SS with D for the motor code? Or do I have that wrong? I know it is X for the earlier SS's.

 

Hopefully McB_HHR will chime in soon

 

You're not wrong.

Does this mean someone painted it white over VR?
Me thinks so.
