Easy access (door,hood,trunk) is here about 165$
This cost 330$

Btw.This is not a painting line

Installed a new splitter, made the mistake of not wearing gloves while dealing with all the shavings, hands were burning up rest of the day, fit is also not 100% but just needs some fiddling around.

I paid right at $165 to have a thumb-sized deep ding removed from the crease line just behind the passenger door. They did a superb job.

Then when you ask them if they want you to start it up, especially with my cam and Corsa exhaust, they just go bonkers!! So much fun. So I tell people, no matter what you have done to your Camaro, or not, just go and have some fun. You won't regret it, ever.

This is so true guys. How do we pass along the fun and interest in our car hobby if we treat all of these like works of untouchable art instead of as the cars they are?

I had a one-family owned 1927 Model T coupe that I drove to the grocery store and around town from time to time. People were always asking for photo ops with their kids and I always made the time for those moments. I was the only car at the one car show I did, that had signs all over that read, "PLEASE TOUCH". In a field of precious artworks roped off by big red rope and barriers, my car got much of the attention for the day.

Thats what this hobby is about sharing it and bringing in the next generation.....you can treat everything like a museum piece...

Thanks, think it looks pretty snazzy, only issue is due to some mounting "improvements" the center of it is pointing upwards, already ordered some spacers to try and correct it next weekend but I'm not as sure on is that big enclosed open space between splitter and bumper that looks like it would be perfect to collect leaves dirt, rocks and anything else that would fit, anyone got any ideas on closing it off?

Indeed. I decided way back before I was an old fart that I wouldn't be that old guy who stood around a piece non-moving artwork in the shop and grouse about the "glory days" with my old cronies. I have always enjoyed the car hobby so much that I felt like my enthusiasm would and SHOULD rub off on others and what better way than to let them experience that first hand, up front, in the driver or passenger seat.
