Back: Front: And to prevent door dings (on rare occasion I park near another car in work parking garage) ... I use these homemade side protectors from pipes/insulation parts leftover on home hot water heater install project: The hook is padded with foam tape. Slide apart in a second and fit easily in the little Camaro trunk - very light. When folks ask what those things are on the side of the car I tell them it is an anti-theft device to prevent doors from opening. Ron

Fairly cheap to do and invisible, I traced and cut patterns out of a roll of paper to make templates and then cut the film to match. Real easy and quick. No pitting. Even used it on the Halo/HID Projector lights. Nobody notices the film unless I point it out and they get right near the surface at a seam. Ron

My Camaro ZL1 has more paint chips on it after $38,000 than my last 4 cars combined and I owned each 10 years. the new water based paint is terrible.

I just found my 3rd paint chip. I've driven my early '10 SS all over the East Coast and
Canada and only have 3 chips in nearly 7 years and 41,000+ miles. Strange how some of the 5th generation Camaros have dozens of chips and mine is nearly chip free. Two on the hood and now a tiny new one on the front edge of the left fender. Just a lucky duck I guess.
