69 retro additions - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

What else would folks suggest for more 69 replications?

Cubic Inch numbers like the 69 RSSS
SS below the "Camaro"
Fender gill blackouts (Thought about chrome to be more accurate, and may do that.
See pics

Or if it's not tastful, too much or "gaudy", doesn't look right, etc, feedback on that too.

You know it's a little misleading with the "378" graphic, because it doesn't have a 378!

i dont care for the wheel decals either, looks like an instruction manual on there

378 cubic inches is 6.2 Liters. Its just like writing 364 for a 6.0 Vortec.

Wow, was looking at the 378 part and didn't see that. I also don't like it.

Not a fan of either but if you like them...they are awesome!

Rockytophummer · 07-31-2009, 10:07 PM

I think GM should've followed your footsteps with the SS emblems! I was very dissapointed with the 2 little SS emblems on our cars! They should have either did like you did or did like the 69 were and big SS emblem were our bow ties are in our current model! But I think it looks good. Only thing not as big on was the 378 part but as long as you like it then it don't matter what everyone else thinks. But it's your baby and do what you like to her. I like it cause it makes it different.

Pretty sure it is a 376..................

luckynuts · 07-31-2009, 10:36 PM

I'm a fan of the gills being done. I'm also debating whether to go with black or a chrome on my ABM.

Andro · 07-31-2009, 11:10 PM

I like everything except the wheel decals

Check the specs list on chevy.com...378ci.

Bentley78 · 08-01-2009, 02:55 AM

i really thought it was a 372ci

PsyDoc · 08-01-2009, 08:58 AM

I do not mind the "378," but I would prefer consistency with the decal colors. Given the black hockey stripes, I'd go with black over white...like you did with the "SS"...Just my .02.

Is that just a shadow or are the stripes on the door not right? The passenger side looks like the stripe wraps over the edge of the door (and it looks like the stripe might have torn as a bit of paint appears to be showing through on the very edge...about 1/2 way down). On the driver's side, the stripe appears to start further back from the door's edge.

6.2 liters converts to 378.35 Cubic Inches. 376 Cubic Inches converts to 6.16 Liters. The original 2010 Camaro Specifications brochure issued by GM states that it is a 376/6.162 V8. Based on this information, 376 is correct, 378 is incorrect, FWIW. See page 2 attached from the brochure

And from GM Performance Parts

NEW LS3 6.2L

What's Hot?

The hottest new small-block now available in a box
Starting with the '08 Corvette, the world was first introduced to GM's latest small-block V-8 creation the 6.2L LS3. A continuation of the industry leading V-8 engines from GM, the LS3 kicks out 430 horsepower and 424 lb.-ft. of torque. (In the Corvette, those numbers go to 436 hp and 428 lb.-ft. of torque with the optional dual mode exhaust system.)
