How much HP do Gill Stripes add?

[SIN R G]

Also check out http://www.ridergraphix.com/Camaro.html this is where I got mine from.

I went with SLP from Jeg's for $57. They are clear and give a 3D look or depth to the gills. There's 3 or 4 threads in the Cosmetics and Lighting Modifications section.

7hp

Ive looked around online and many companies seem to be selling the same product

Also there are two styles one type fits into the recess the other outside and around which ones do you have/recomend

I just added the SLP faded side gills (flat finish) to my Rally Yellow Camaro. I have waited four years on pulling the trigger on this mods. I have pretty much ran out of stuff I want to do to my car now, so I finally figured what the heck. I will say... I really think these add the finishing touch to the gill area. It looks really nice in person. That is one thing that was holding me back... how will they would look in person? I saw some of the cheaper ones out there installed and just did not think they look good. I will say, you will pay more for these compared to the other brand, but sometimes you get what you pay for. These set me back close to 60 bucks which is not cheap for 6 pieces of vinyl, but in the big picture this has probably been one of the cheapest mods I have done to my car.. Here are a few pics.

Those really make those gills look real. Best ones I've seen yet. Most just look like stickers with no real purpose. Nice work!

I THOUGHT about these too-but decals will fade and start to peel soon!

I don't really see these peeling off unless removed. It's really no different than the rally stripes. You don't see those peeling off ever and if they're treated right they will never fade. These things are on like glue. I'm not sure about some of the other brands or types out there I can only speak for the ones I have.

I was thinking in matte finish they might look good, but I can't figure if you could see them much.
