What Did You Do To Your Camaro Today?

Lot's of companies who do this all the time so you should be able to find a reasonable price. My "hood spears" seem to be easy enough I can do them myself.

I keep reading how easy it is to find a company to do this kind of install. I live in NE Ohio, so close enough to the big city, yet I have called numerous businesses (sign shops, auto body, etc) and have found very few that are willing to install pre-purchased stripes. I was hoping to spend no more than $100-$150 for the install, but so far my only quote has been $200+ (and the guy said to expect wrinkles in the stripes). If anyone knows of a shop in my area, please do tell!

At this point, I need to buy a new set of stripes, since I doubt I can purchase only the drivers' side front stripe that I started and ruined. I may try Big Worm Graphix for this set. And still not convinced I cannot do a decent job myself (I certainly know where I messed up on my first attempt!)

I've read some threads and some think once you've been aligned your set unless you hit huge pot holes or suspension changes etc.... Don't want to short myself and don't want to pay for a service I may not use, could use money elsewhere

I don't get alignments too often. Might take a LONG time to get a return on that investment, considering it's about the same as one more alignment. Hmmmmm....

Then you will probably get another car withing a few years... I think I'd skip it. (Of course, you know if you do, you will hit a giant pothole on the way home).

I just got an order from Big Worm. Nice stuff and instructions are included... GO FOR IT!!!

Yea I know right, I skipped it though, I didn't see me needing it anytime soon as in I'm done messing with any "alignment" needing mods. It's riding smooth again though now it's time to try this all nannies off mode I've been hearing about though I will need a wide open area to do so in

You could call your local Chevy dealer and see if they'll tell you who they use to install stripe kits on their cars.

This isn't from today (I'm way behind on being online thanks to work), and it's not a mod or upgrade, but I was the 4th in line in my town's 4th of July parade with the Grand Marshall along for the ride...with over an hour's worth of other floats and marching bands behind me! There were LOADS of people there to watch the parade, and I got LOADS of compliments on the Camaro! Even the local news personalities commented on how the car looked! I have to do that again next year!!!

Got a new key ring. The cool detachable type.



Well, I gotta do SOMETHING while my car is f'd up.

That's a nice key ring. Where did you get it from?
