Blacking Out the Zl1 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Some shots of the black out work I have been doing on my ZL1. Black ZL1 fuel door, CAMARO lettering, tail light and reverse light bezels, smoked LED tail lights, license plate frame. I installed the Emblempros black ZL1 letters on top of the chrome ones on the rear but it is hard to see in the pics. That matches the rear bowtie. I think I will leave the stock badges on the hood cowl though to compliment the wheels. I love tinkering with Elvira!

Yes I have the Hurst Camaro shifter plate and shifter. Very happy with them. Top quality and looks so much better than the factory setup.

Also have the Vitesse paddle shifters. Love the feel of them.

Where did you buy the tailight tint? What level of tint is it? Lightest, middle or darkest? Looks great on your car!

Hey---those are actually aftermarket lights with smoked lenses. I tried the film but wasnt happy with the result.

its not going to look right, blacked out with the shiny aluminum rims. I wont go any further then you have gone already imo.

Outstanding detail on the car finish (in addition to your blackout work).

You should go back with some black wheels and some dark window tint now to complete the look.

Thanks for your opinion. I think just the opposite though. Life would be boring if we all thought alike though!
