Lower Bumper blackout to mimic ZL1 look? - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Thanks, I plan on doing a complete blackout with vinyl. That front point on the bumper makes it a pain to fit vinyl, so I used spray vinyl

its really easy too... almost want to do the front and rear blackout with it... too bad I already bought the huge sheet of vinyl

lol. I just went out and bought the plastidip , back home now going to do this mod first and then work my way onto bezels, and side markers
Thanks again OP and everyone else for there input

I was going to do my bezels but I think they'll look better Chrome with the rear panel blacked out

I have to disagree, I also want to b.o the r.p and I would definitely b.o the bezels. Ive seen a b.o panel before with chrome and imo it doesnt look good.

I knew it wasnt going to look good since my lower grill is chrome but wth I tried it anyway. also posted a vid of me taking it off. pretty easy and cool stuff.

I'll definitely be running to the store for plastidip
A strip of vinyl paint and it looks like a new fascia .. Who knew!

You know, I was thinking for the past week about doing this, and I'm going to this coming weekend.

Monster, if you pinstriped in chrome on the fascia on top of the plastidip all the way down, it would look fire. Keep the pattern going all the way down.

I mean it looks "ok" nut not as good as a black lower grille, I would have to plastidip the whole grille, which im not trying to do ...

o0o0 I get what you mean, didnt think of that

That way it looks like the whole grill extends down to the bottom. I mean, any decent pinstriper could do that in an hour or two - I'm telling you. I mean, shi-, your car looks great enough, but...someone photoshop that.

I had the idea for my car before I saw this thread tho, just wanna say...

Here is what I did with my LS. However, I did a half assed job, but from far away it looks cool. I will let dry and redo.

HOZAY · 05-17-2011, 04:36 PM

That still looks great, and exactly the look I'm going for when I try it.

Lol I started this tread hoping someone actually made this vinyl piece and instead you guys came through with a cheaper and potentially better solution. With all your success trying this, I think I'm gonna have to do it to my summit white. I mean, what can it hurt since it comes off so cleanly if I screw it up

I emailed BigWorm, and he did say he's working on this or a piece like it.
