I really don't understand all the hangups on if a union worker at a gm plant bolted the intake on or the spoiler, or if a nonunion gm dealership worker out in the garage did it, gm or one of their many subcontractors made the parts and they got on the car period, that car is in a well known camaro book so its gonna go for big money and double that in 5-10yrs when its resold and so on..if your a tarheel fan I would buy the car now cuz all special short runs are only gonna push in the future the 68zconvert recent price that had a lot of the same questions as to its crossram, jl8, etc. being orig, or installed 2wks later, or freshened up..buy it drive it and sell it later for double
