Looks good!

Did you measure how far down the tape would be for the light to shine through?

Actually just laid the pin striping tape directly over the LED strips.

You will probably want to line it up with where the stock bulb sits. I just guessed on the test piece in the pictures from my initial post. Good Luck and take your time.

Thanks, I'm sure it'll turn out better than they are now lol.

Maybe I'm a little behind here, but where does one go to buy a spray can of OEM Camaro Ashen paint? Sounds pricy

I bought stuff from automotive touch up.com as well. I bought adhesion promoter, a can of carbon flash metallic (45th) and clear coat. I made my own hood liner emblem. I am a terrible painter, but this stuff worked really well.

That looks awesome!!!

I didn't ghost my side markers but I did paint them and add LEDs witch is one of my favorite mods. Just a suggestion would be to paint the side of the lenses also so it doesn't shine through. At night you would be able to tell, not so mush in the day.

The ghost job looks good and good steps to follow. I think this totally changes the look of the car from the side, good job.
