I'm thinking of purchasing a particular 2001 SS Conv. and I have a question about the SLP labels (or lack thereof). By all visual indications it is a true SS, and the Service Parts Identification label on the inside of the driver door has WU8 and Y2Y listed, but there is no SLP options label on either door and also no label anywhere in the engine compartment (that I can see). Is this strange to anyone else or is this no big deal? Also, would I be able to contact SLP with the VIN to get this info? Also, about 1/3 of the RPO label on the inner door looks like it was torn off, but I can still read the WU8 and Y2Y options. Any info/opinions would be greatly appreciated...

 

My 98 SS 'vert does not have any SLP labels either. I do have the original window sticker showing the package though!

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a shot...

 

Thats cool. I wish this one had the win sticker...

 

there should be an slp sticker on the driver door. if no slp options were added to the car there won't be one on the passingers side.

 

I checked again and there is definitely no SLP sticker on the driver door, passenger door, under the hood, no where. But, the RPO sticker that is on the Driver door does have WU8 and Y2Y listed. Just no SLP sticker. It has the SS hood, rear spoiler, exhaust, wheels, tires, badges, etc. It does not have SS center caps or SS mats or anything like that. I will call SLP with the VIN when the re-open on Wednesday. Should I be worried that there are no SLP stickers? Thanks

 

I would guess that there were no SLP options added beyond what the factory would put in.......

 

OK, so the GM factory did actually add some of the basic SS options in 2001 rather than send to the SLP Engineering factory? I didn't know that they did this. That would definitely explain it if thats the case. Looking at the rear spoiler, it defintely has an SLP part number on it, but maybe the GM factory just used their parts?? Thanks...

 

I'm not totally sure, but I think that in the later years of the SS, the factory actually did some of it, as opposed to shipping off the car for everything to be put on by SLP as they did in the first couple of years.

 

Thanks GT KILLER... Can anyone else confirm for sure that they did this?

 

From Camarosource.ca:

In 1996 and 1997, the SS's were completely finished by SLP under contract from GM. Starting in 1998 this was no longer what happened.

 

Good info and yes, I will definitely be giving them a call when they re-open after the 4th...
