I installed the Reflective Concepts bow tie overlays today. They aren't perfect( I think their template for '14 may be a bit off)but they will do the job until I can get Lupe at camarocustoms.com to do me up a couple. Also installed engine bay LED lighting today. Have an LED strip for the grill area but couldn't figure out exactly how to get where I wanted to put it without taking the fascia off, and didn't want to go there.

And disregard the bird poop on the spoiler, didn't notice it until I came in to post these pics and now it is too dark for a new picture....


Video of the engine bay lighting will be later. I will post it to my build thread that I have to start.
Really just wanted to show you the overlays since you had said you wanted to change up your bow ties and this is a very inexpensive way to do it.

Thanks for the pics! I think they look great! What color did you order? Seems like every website I look on for bowtie "covers" lists several blue colors and I'm never certain which one to order...

Agree, the 2014's are not direct fits but I made it work and you did too! LOVE IT!

Took a little stretching. Noticed in the picture for the front that it looks like it has a rip in the middle but that is just a reflection. I had to go out and look to make sure.....

I ordered the dark navy blue. It actually matches the BRM stripe fairly well.

Thank you. I am also contemplating 'plain ole' white' as well...

We are about ready to proceed with some under the hood aesthetics...hydro-dipping the engine and fuse box covers and some lettering. Then a Noweeds at some point, and that will probably be it until the P-T warranty expires....then headers and cam is a possibility.

I'm leaving the back seat 'down' for now...so it's like a '2 seater'...something different and much easier to load my canopy for car shows...lol. Downside is a bit more road noise is heard and the AC has to cool the trunk space, as well as the cabin. Oh well...it's an easy fix to go back to 'normal'....haha...if you can call me normal...hehe

Hope everyone has a Pleasant Valley Sunday.....

Wild Thing got a bubble bath this morning, and per request, here's a few pics of my 2 Lovelies.

Thanks! It's hard to keep both of them clean at the same time...lol!
I'm seriously considering a couple of indoor car covers to keep the dust off of them. The Cyber Gray Metallic rally stripes on Wild Thing, and the Blue Ray Metallic stripes on the SS sure get dusty...even in the garage!

Wow! Rain in central OOOklahoma in July is nearly unheard of; we are getting a lot of the 'unheard of' this morning...lol. We'll take it!

Time to do some house-y chores that's been ignored for a while....aacckk. But when you play...[at car shows on the week ends]...you eventually pay! har!

I'm about ready to find someone else to do my eXpel ppf application. I've given my friend plenty of time, I feel, to get my car done. I don't want to wreck a friendship, but I need to get this done. sigh. I don't know what to do...

You've been more than patient.
