I guess you started thin and followed the angle to the wide back stripes? can't tell for sure. I fear change but I like individuality!

Actually, I started at the windshield with the width about .5" less than the trunk stripes. Then had them follow the lines of the hood down to the front. I wanted the front to line up with the bar on the grill just to the left of the SS and it just ended up working out that way so it was perfect. I would rather have the lines a little thinner at the front and have them follow the lines on the hood than have them be wider and go straighter, that just looks weird to me.

You have one of what I consider to be the best Camaro GM has made, it looks great to me!

Any particular reason why you decided to remove the SS symbol on the rear of the vehicle? Trying to go sleeper on some unsuspecting victims?

The rear SS and bowtie had to be removed in order to sand and re-clear the trunk. I had them order a new one but they are on backorder for some reason. Whenever the shop gets a new SS badge I'm putting it back on.

CamaroSkooter · 06-29-2009, 03:20 PM

I'm pretty sure the badge in the grille is pretty easy to remove, so you could do that in the meantime just to see if you fool any suckers

MilotiNY · 06-29-2009, 10:47 PM

this is what i like - if you're going to post pictures post lots of them

one of the most good looking cars i've ever seen. one shiny beauty. paint job looks great.

Looks great, I have toyed with the idea of having pearl white stripes painted onto this color. It is clear that painted stripes are the way to go. They seem to be a very good investment especially for a guy like me in AZ where those stick on graphics will last a couple of years tops.

It'd be nice if you shined it up a little before the next round of photos!!!!

Beautiful . . .
