Thanks to all that chimed in on my various questions. Here are a couple of shots of the finished product. I painted the bow ties a two tone to get ride of the chrome and painted the tail light covers as well. The last pic is of a idea I have to replace the chrome camaro on the fenders, let me know what you think.

Again thanks to all, I wouldve been lost with out the help.

Indpowr · 07-26-2009, 10:35 PM

Uhh you arent going to keep both camaro lettering on there are you? I dont like the old camaro lettering, bow ties look good.

ac223mal,

The bow ties look great!

I like the black "Camaro" for the side panels, it goes well with your color scheme!!!

Scott@Bjorn3D · 07-27-2009, 08:20 AM

I would take the new Camaro letting off and keep the old style on. I like it.

Red Hot SS · 07-27-2009, 08:40 AM

Lettering has got to go.

Either one or the other. Cant have both. At least my opinion

Guys, he said "The last pic is of a idea I have to replace the chrome camaro on the fenders, let me know what you think." I think he wants our opinion of which one would look better.

live2well · 07-27-2009, 10:07 AM

The Old school lettering is the one you should go with. The color scheme matches the rest of the car better than the chrome new school lettering. JMO

there is no school like the old school!!!

Thanks for the input guys, was starting to get worried when I hadn't heard from anyone.

The script was placed on with some worn out 3M tape to take the pics and then taken back off, just so I could get an idea. I wasn't to worried about the bow ties and the trim rings, but I didnt trust myself to get the fender camaro back on right, if I took it off and didn't like it.

Thanks for the input and opinions! And to mess things up a bit, if I keep the block camaro I plan to paint it also, so what do you all think, script or block in the gray?

PonyMan, a special thanks to you, you've helped me out in all the threads that I had questions regarding the bow ties. I posted the pics here so you could see the end result.

I would paint the block-lettered Camaro, instead of throwing the wrong generation emblem on a new car.

ac223mal · 07-27-2009, 02:28 PM

Good point, thanks Scooter
