Thanks Hylton!.
Bummer on the pics, cool on the signatures thing and really great you've got them stashing the build sheets in the cars!.
Do you think a line worker could install black mirrors on a different color car, would it look Ok and make it through unnoticed?.

I actually spent sometime discussing the quality program on the flex line with a few senior GM employees over a few cold one's yesterday. There are so many checks and re-checks in place that you would not be able to get away with something like that. It's nothing like how things were years ago when you could have asked your buddy to paint your Camaro with an exclusive Impala color (built at the same plant).
Just this week, they had run out of the wheels which go on the V6 RS cars. They built the cars anyways, putting other incorrect factory wheels on them and then set those cars aside until the proper wheels came in to change them over. This way they don't disrupt production plans and keep things moving while still ensuring that you get what you;re supposed to get. Years ago, they may have sent the car out with the SS wheels because they are a slightly lighter shade of silver then the RS wheels.
Some of the early CTF and dealers cars which have been built over the last 10 weeks are "one offs" in the sense that they have incorrect options on them. I saw a non RS with RS tail lights and there are a few cars with incorrect colored wheels on them.
