Just installed front fascia blackout (pics)

[Lutatt2]

What do you guys think??? Black rims are up next. Should be arriving next week Tuesday-Wednesday

Very nice!

A good look requires a consistent "theme" so it doesn't look like a mixed bag.

The white with black accents looks very good and i like what you're doing. Keeping the b&w thenecwithoit going over the top.

I'm sure it's faster now too!

Looks good! Difficult to install?

I agree with mpsgolf, there should be an obvious theme to any customizing. Have you thought about replacing the chrome CAMARO lettering with black lettering? Especially now that you are replacing the rims with black ones.

Install was pretty easy. Decals came in a two piece kit. The left half. And the right half. Just start from the middle and place on carefully to either side. Just be sure to spray soap water onto the car AND onto the sticky side of the vinyl. This allows you to literally slide the vinyl around into place without it sticking to the car. Then use a credit card wrapped in micro fiber towel as a squeegee to lightly push the water out from between the car and vinyl. There's will by a few bubbles but perfectly normal. Just let the sun beat on it for a day or two and the bubbles will come out, vinyl will be dry, and sticking strong.

Looks great,!!! I was thinking about doing mine matte black but was going to have it painted, I didn't know there was a vinyl kit available. Where did you find it and do they offer matte, please provide a link. Did you need to remove grill or headlights or anything?

Nice! I figured it would be similar to how I installed the gills... lots of soapy water. I've been considering this mod, it goes really well with the black splitter.

You did an awesome job, I don't see any white showing and the lines are straight.

Here you go dude. Nope don't need to remove anything. All you really need is soap water

Thanks man! Some other black themed pieces I've added that you can't see are black door handle, black gills, black zl1 spoiler, and tinted tail lights. Trying to remember to not over do it though. But I'll post a pic of the entire car once the black rims are installed. But I think out of all the "black themed mods" the black door handle is what really sets it off nice

I agree with the black theme. I've done most of the usual:

• tail light bezels - black
• tinted tail lights
• tinted side markers
• tinted windows
• vinyl wrap chevy emblems - black
• SS emblem - black
• camaro lettering - black
• ZL1 10 spoke rims - black
• gill decals - black (faded)
• front splitter - black (painted)
• rear spoiler - black (painted)
• rear license plate bracket - black

The only things left that I might still do is the front fascia, like yours, and maybe the side mirrors.

I think a black roof might work, but like you said you don't want to go overboard. Since mine is a RS and the roof molding has been painted, I think I'll stick with the SIM roof.

I'm in LA, and enjoying our 80 degree weather this week!

Edit: A few shots of my accents...
