Bumblebee's stripes on the rear seem to be too wide. The front I'd split the difference from Bumblebee to the one on Tom Henry's SS.

I just dug up a picture of the LS7 and now it seams to me that the LS7 may actually be the same as the Tom Henery. See picture below.

Speaking of the exhaust, does that have some kind of trim on the diffuser that looks more like the concept or is it just me?


Nevermind, I just saw in another picture that it just has rolled exhaust tips. They do almost give the car the concept look though. I love the stripes, and I really love the tail panel blacked out. I already have my arrangements set up, as soon as my victory red 2SS RS comes in the following day the factory designed stripes are getting painted on and i am blacking out the tail panel. I can't wait!

Post some photos of the car before you modify it so I can try some things out with the same images you're using if you don't mind. Striping this car properly is quite the challenge. It doesn't seem there's hardly a straight line or surface on it. The moment you break a curved surface with a separate line you create a totally different look. The challenge is to make that look be complimentary.

Although I do love the looks of the old Camaros, the original Camaros were no where near as sophisticated a body sculpture as this new one is.

I love the strips bc they are not a decals and they are painted on and the black out piece looks bad bc it doesnt match the strips. If they did match that would look really sweet.

You get the beacon of light award. The curved body structure, especially above the wheels for a hockey stripe, almost make the stripe look crooked. We changed our stripe multiple times after looking from different angles.

I am just glad to see a dealership take a hold of the Camaro and start doing things to it keep the excitement up. I look forward to see what Tom and he great crew does with the 5th Gen Camaro. Nothing is better than seeing the owner of a dealership share the same passion as well all do for the Camaro.

To see how much time was spent getting the stripes right most dealerships could care less just get them done

My hats off to TH Chevy for having FUN with the car I hope more dealerships will enjoy it was much as we do.

Thanks Sean, maybe we should build a 302 that revs to 8000 and make it go sideways......

while I love the looks of the back, I have to say that the stripes definitely need to be wider. they look way too skinny compared to how wide the Camaro's body is. Still a sweet looking ride tho

Here we widened the stripe with black tape, now it is past the rolled edge and on the flat of the hood, more like bumblebee.

That would be sooo sweet I still remember the sound and the looks we got with that car not sure which turned heads more the ZL-1 or the 302
