It could have been that your regular driver side SS Rocker Molding was damaged/scratched in the factory at some point and they sent it to the repair area for a fix... then maybe they put the wrong one on as a replacement.
You may have a point there, that is a possibility. the sales guy was good to deal with, he was front on everything else, I should have question him then, but I was too excited at the time
It is funny though... there's so much error proofing in the assembly plants that it's actually quite difficult to do something like this.
Well, yours is definitely special!

Who knows I may have 300 HP under the hood and not even know it
It doesn't quite bug me yet, and I don't think that it will, I am happy with the BFM, the SSR I had was Yellow, and if the SS came in Yellow, I would be right along side with you to order.

I would get it changed for sure.
But
I bet a dealer would never notice it if trading it in. Most of them don't even have a handle on what they are selling. I had one salesman want to argue with me that the automatic had more HP than the Manual. I asked him if he wanted to bet selling me the SS at his cost including the holdback. Of course he declined. I bought my SS from a different dealer. I hate doing business with anyone that doesn't know their product.

This wasn't a factory mistake. Running boards and ground effects are installed by the dealers because of the risk of damage during shipment. Although, the car probably shipped with the wrong parts inside and the lackeys at the dealership installed them without even bothering to notice the mistake.

The dealer will get to eat this repair. You have to catch model descrepancies within 48 hours of the vehicle hitting the lot to get GM to pay for them. If not, the dealer pays for the repair. We bought RS moldings on a silverado last week. LS had them RS didn't.
I couldn't resist using the LS/RS abbreviations.
