To "Bee" or not to "Bee" that is the question.

I have the factory flat black stripes and they're fine for now but getting the glossy long stripes painted on when I save up the dough.

Local body shop quoted me $1,200. Seems fair.

BTW, since no one's asked...are you contemplating something different than the "bumblebee" look? Color? Glossy or matte? Painted or vinyl?

This is what I paid, and if done in the same meticulous manner, it's more than fair considering the work involved.

Here's a link to my custom paint project for details:

Thanks, I've studied your install. I've poured over various pictures of the Bumlebee stripes and I'm going to use yours as a guide. Very nice indeed.

If I go with a stripe I will go with the "Bumble Bee" look. Still wondering what to do. Thoughts provided so far is helping... I will keep you posted.

Thanks GTO, good luck with your project. Be sure to look at my dimensions again; I have since edited the post due to several PM's asking for clarification on measurements. If you have any further questions, shoot me a PM. I'll be happy to help.

Thanks again and I'm probably going to do this sooner than later so I may have some questions.

Too funny! I actually passed the idea by my wife and she's not too keen about it.

As far as completing the package goes, we tinted the windows and are now deciding on a cat-back exhaust system. The three systems in contention are made by Borla, Corsa, and SLP. Some time in the future we'll include a cold air intake and supercharger (brands pending).

You bet, helping others was the intent of that post...and thanks for the compliments. I was pretty pleased how it turned out for my wife, she really loves her car; ...can't say I blame her.

I have one in my truck. Audrey2010Camaro has one, including that disco ball....

Interesting, I've been looking at all the options for an exhaust although the choices for the v6 lag behind somewhat. I keep going back to NOWEEDS diverter http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...light=diverter

Seems to eliminate alot of hardware while giving choice of exhaust tone and added performance. I may be missing something but this looks what I'll go with for my 6 banger, Little "B"

I entertained the idea of going with that same diverter, but potential problems that may arise relating to emissions and noise keep me from choosing that path. I'm sure it's a great product, just not for me. If I were twenty years younger though, I'd probably be all over a diverter.
