blacking out my car
so what do you guys think about this idea... my car is at the shop right now getting 20 percent tints... and i also told them to smoke out every single light BESIDES the headlights b/c they r already somewhat dark.... i think it will look sharp, especially since my car is black... be my mini batmobile... any thoughts inputs?...

I personally think that it is over used but it's your car and you should do whatever you want.

considered this but its done to death and often comes off lame (just being honest). i just blacked the chevy symbols, not really a fan of how the wheels come out
if you want to make it different try blacking out all the logos. like the GM logo, the word Camaro, etc. that's cool. but leave the wheels as they are. just one man's opinion |

I still consider blacking out the front signals. You really wouldn't know they were there!
Someone here posted theirs last year. Looked great!! It really "longated" the grille.

I just did the black bowtie in the back. Made all the difference in the world (the gold and silver in the original just don't work), as my car is almost entirely orange and black -- I have the RS package with the black stripes, hockey stick stripes, vent stripes, etc., and am about to replace the chrome taillight bezels with black ones. Here is a pic.

Well, obviously I'm a fan. See my signature. I was originally planning to do the wheels, but changed my mind for now. If I do the wheels, I'd do something like what VaderSS did.
Overdone? How can that be? There are thousands of Camaros out there that look alike. So what? Mod to your own taste.

ya-- nothing can be 'overdone' a million cars are alike - people have similar taste and wanna do similar mods--- but ya ima hold off on the wheels but eventually gonna do black wheels and red brake calibers - i also was thinking about powder coating my current wheels black, save some money-- cuz i dont mind the wheels i have now- appreciate the pics guys- it should be done around 10 tonight, they say its gonna take 5-6 hours with the tints and all the black outs- so will c how it turns out-- im just hoping i dont get stopped so often with 20 percent tints- seeing how in IL you are only allowed 35
