Side gill accents? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is there any discussion of chrome accents for the "Gills" on the side of the Camaro? Accenting them on my '69 makes it look great.

MidlifeZ28 · 02-06-2009, 06:42 PM

yes. Now that looks cool.

I thought they were fake gills

I've been really thinking about doing something to the "gills". I really would like them to be functional but can't bring myself to have them cut out. Airbrushing was mentioned in another thread and I think it could be done with class. BUT the one thing I didn't think about was accenting them with chrome. And you know that "Chrome may not get ya home, but it could get ya laid"! Thanks for the idea.

I'd like to see the aftermarket take up the cause

How would you make them functional and why ???

like these? I think they'd look badass

Where did you find these? Are they just photoshoped or an actual product that is planed for the 2010?

*CamaroSpike23* · 02-06-2009, 09:07 PM

we have discussed it in the past. they are not going to be open gills. but we have discussed putting black vinyls on the slits. cutting them (tho that would require some extra work). and just adding accents like those posted above from a 1st gen.

Did a google search. These are for the 69 camaro

Something to make them pop would be sweet...

(i think chrome with the black or cyber gray would look amazing)

I think chrome accents go well with classic cars not the new Camaro I think it makes it look tacky just my opinion
