there are many options to make them stand out, fader decals, stainless trim, edge decals..
I have the stainless gill trim and black 1/4" pin striping on mine. I don't have any closeups right now of it, but here are some distant shots.

Nice bro; you updated that engine cover pretty quick!

I would be stoked to learn my v6 just gained 8hp too!

Just a Skidmark · 04-08-2010, 07:26 PM

havn't you heard (maybe this is refering to something that happened WAY too long ago on this board. oh well) engine covers = 8+ horsepower!

I was actually referring to the news that the 2010 v6's were underrated @ 304 hp. The speculation is they were certified w/91 octane gas @ 312hp for the 2011 MY. And Skyman already changed his engine cover sig pic to reflect the increase.

To the OP: sorry for the thread jack

I have a 2SS RJT with Artic White Rally Stripes. I looked around and decided on the white pixelated type to enhance the stripe package. I am extremely happy with the durability and the look. The clear pixels allow a little of the RTJ to show through giving some depth and shadow effects. I ordered from AutoTrimDesign.net See the picture of my camaro in my signature and the attached.

Just a quick photo edit to reflect the announcement today...
I will have to wait to actually do it on the car later...

here is the actual announcement

Quote:

"There were no actual changes made to the Camaro's V6 engine that resulted in a power increase. Rather, Chevy says the current 304-hp rating was conservative and a new SAE certification resulted in 312 hp. So that means anyone who bought a 2010 Camaro V6 shouldn't feel shortchanged, as their engine is just as powerful as the 2011 model that will start production on June 7th"

Got my new 2LT Camaro from the dealer yesterday at 5 PM. Had the gills on that evening while working on my new ride. I went with a set I picked up from ebay. Unfortunately my car went from the cleanest it will ever be to the worst it will ever be in a short 2 hours. It was raining when I picked it up. Oh well, take the kids for a ride, then my wife. Finally into the garage and started the changes.

New updated second picture after cleaning and detailing work.
