So the rivets look good on this car. Thats good to know.

One more thing, and I swear I found this before but cant find it now, what is the code Q459 for? I went back though both the websies previously mentioned and cant find it now. I think my brain is starting to reject me trying to feed it more. lol

Edit:
Ok I think I found it. On your link Camaro 69 it looks like its a Internal Scheduling Code. Although I dont see a explanation for what that means?

Yes sir I am. As a matter of fact I did buy it last night!!!
You will see a lot more from me on here now! Lol
I feel confident it is a legit RS based on the info you guys gave me. It helped me go into it with a lot more confidence.
Now I just have to figure out how to get it home. It's only a hour and a half away but the curvy back roads traveling to his place have been tared and loose gravel so unless I can find another route I'm gonna have to get a trailer.
Stay tuned!!

Extremely pumped! Couldn't even sleep last night!

Hey Camaro69!
So I bought the car and while I feel confident it is a RS Id like a confirmation from someone that has something to compare to.
Here is the reverse light removed.

What do you think? I got to admit, Im nervous to ask because Im afraid to hear something I dont want to.

Congrats, you gonna show more of the car some day? The factory opening is stamped, if someone cut it open, it would be more of a sharp edge. Below is a correct hole, which is what yours looks like.
Except, what is that swell/raised area on the lower left of the hole, or is that just a shadow? Reach inside and feel around to make sure nobody transplanted a panel patch there.
Here's a little more RS info, scroll down about 1/3 page: Camaro Factory Options

Yes. I definitely plan on showing more of it. But I want to take some better pics of it with my DSLR camera and not just a crappy smart phone camera. Since I have bought the car it has rained here in the Midwest nonstop so I haven't even been able to get the car out much. As a matter of fact I've taken it out twice and once almost got caught in a heavy thunderstorm. That may not seem like a terribly bad deal except for the fact I live on a private lane that floods quickly. I got it in the shop just as the rain pounded down! Shwew! Close one. But don't worry pictures will be forthcoming soon!

As soon as I seen the place (lower left) you were talking about below the reverse light I ran right out and looked and yes it thankfully it was just some harsh shadowing or something because there is nothing raised on the panel.
