Look for wu8 on the door code and it should have an slp build number. You can also call slp and give them the vin.

i dont believe all SS's came with an slp sticker though if it didn't come with any slp options?

Black- 1998 Camaro SS M6 #1871
You are right, Non-SLP Optioned SS's do not have an SLP Sticker on the passenger door. Mine had no options and therefore no sticker. Just WU8 on the option sticker on the driver door.

Black- 2002 Camaro SS
Looks legit. It has the SS 10 spokes, which I think most clones would not have. Of course, double check the RPO code.
It's a sharp looking car...good luck!

2001 3.8 Black - sold- 2000 SS Black M6
i saw an LT1 SS the other day....which are kinda rare since they only made them in 97.
only prob was it had the 98-02 style SS spoiler.
everything else looked legit, even the SS rims.
wondering if its a failed clone, or he just liked the newer spoiler.

same as the ws6. To the op, the hood gap looks kind of wonky. Might be a repro or just the car flexing
