That's one fine ride. I like the ZL1 rockers. I kind of want to do that on mine. Mind if I ask how much those run?

I love that you have 2ss with recaros. And another black 1le with rs which seems to be rare.

Loose the camaro windshield thing IMO

Cars looking good, I have some rockers in the mail as we speak.

Interested to see what yu do next.

What was the polishing process you used? Machine or hand?

Machine, by hand doesn't do anything.

I know it's old school 80's, but it also goes with the 1LE track car vibe.

Thoughts?
Nice ride...the windshield banner is great, i'm doing the same thing!

Machine.
Polished it with Car Pro Velvet pads and Megs M205 via Rotary buffer.
Finished with Ultra soft pad and M205.
Just so others don't read this and think they can easily do the same, I have over 20 years of experience in Detailing. It is very hard to finish with a high speed buffer and not leave buffer trails or some sort of paint defect behind.
A D/A buffer with a soft pad to finish would work well for newbies.

It's hit or miss with people, including me.

Beautiful Black on Black. I'm so close to pulling the trigger on the exact same Camaro in my area but I don't know how I feel about another black car. After my last black car and the amount of work it took to clean I vowed never again.

Those pictures are making me second guess myself.

It's a labor of Love.

There are Coatings available now that you can apply that help with keeping Black Beautiful.

I also changed out the 285/35/20 rear tires for 305/35/20 Goodyear F1 Supercars.
I didn't like the rolled over look of the 285 on the 11" rim and since I will never race the car, I'm not worried about a little understeer.
