blacking out my car

[blackthunder]

so what do you guys think about this idea... my car is at the shop right now getting 20 percent tints... and i also told them to smoke out every single light BESIDES the headlights b/c they r already somewhat dark.... i think it will look sharp, especially since my car is black... be my mini batmobile... any thoughts inputs?...

are your turn signals gonna pass state inspection

[HookemHorns]

I personally think that it is over used but it's your car and you should do whatever you want.

[Murph0408]

considered this but its done to death and often comes off lame (just being honest). i just blacked the chevy symbols, not really a fan of how the wheels come out

if you want to make it different try blacking out all the logos. like the GM logo, the word Camaro, etc. that's cool. but leave the wheels as they are. just one man's opinion

[Bond]

I still consider blacking out the front signals. You really wouldn't know they were there!
Someone here posted theirs last year.
Looked great!! It really "longated" the grille.

This.

[blackthunder]

ya- i dont know about passing state inspection? ... i mean i did it to my previous car which was a mustang (so glad i turned to the camaro side) and well i never had a problemo at all--- but ya in my opinion i think it would look great. trying 2 find pics now 2 see how mine would look

I like mostly black with some chrome accents:

I just did the black bowtie in the back. Made all the difference in the world (the gold and silver in the original just don't work), as my car is almost entirely orange and black -- I have the RS package with the black stripes, hockey stick stripes, vent stripes, etc., and am about to replace the chrome taillight bezels with black ones. Here is a pic.

Well, obviously I'm a fan. See my signature. I was originally planning to do the wheels, but changed my mind for now. If I do the wheels, I'd do something like what VaderSS did.

Overdone? How can that be? There are thousands of Camaros out there that look alike. So what?

Mod to your own taste.

[blackthunder]

ya-- nothing can be 'overdone' a million cars are alike - people have similar taste and wanna do similar mods--- but ya ima hold off on the wheels but eventually gonna do black wheels and red brake calibers - i also was thinking about powder coating my current wheels black, save some money-- cuz i dont mind the wheels i have now- appreciate the pics guys- it should be done around 10 tonight, they say its gonna take 5-6 hours with the tints and all the black outs- so will c how it turns out-- im just hoping i dont get stopped so often with 20 percent tints- seeing how in IL you are only allowed 35

[blackthunder]

and i do see your signature lol 'black lighting'... as mine is 'black thunder' i do also enjoy black haha

im doing this to my black 2LT RS also! already have limo tinted windows, black bowties and i have the black covers for the tail lights, but several people have been skeptical that i might get a fix it ticket bcuz of the brakes.. so i have not put them on yet. black out looks amazing on this car. just wondering.. do you have black rims also? i see a lot of people plasti dip or powder coat the RS rims when doing a black out but i kept them how they were.

[blackthunder]

i dont have black rims--- but i am thinking bout buying new black wheels or powder coating my current ones-- not sure what i am going 2 do just yet-- do you have any pics tj's?

oh very nice! Im going to be washing my car in about an hour, then I'll take some fresh pics and post them on a new thread, as many people have been asking.

[blackthunder]

alright awesome- sounds good

['11CamaroLS]

im biased on the subject as mine is blacked out as well...so of course i like yours lol i have 20 % tint too and its a good % for it. did you get the front windshield visor tinted too? i got mine like 6 inch arced across kinda.

[mbrusco103]

completely blacked out is too much.. but blacking out some things does look nice and stealthy.

[chris1973]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I thought about it blacked out and decided against it.

When/if I do appearance upgrades I want to do chrome rims, heritage grill, replace bowties with SS symbols and maybe replace the CAMARO letters between the doors and front wheels with the old school script letters. Then maybe stripes, color is TBD

[chevy 3]

I blacked out everything. The car looks amazing.

[Cal 20112SS]

This is one of the best looking murdered out Camaros out there

[Black Lightning]

I like those red calipers. My next stop is researching how get that.

I'm actually doing black with red - kept the red SS's and added them on the sides.

Currently working on a black and red engine bay.

[blackthunder]

wow... thanks for the pics! thats what i wanna do black wheels with red calibers... and also thanks for posting your 20% window tints! mine should be done in a few hours... cant wait 2 see them-- yours look real good!

[blackthunder]

Not really sure. The owner is a member here. Maybe he'll chime in.
