Rider graphix, question, and some other questions. help please.

Hello guys, so after months, and months, i'm finally ordering my camaro, I'm going with the SGM 2ss, and I'm really excited.

Anyway, I ordered the RS package, and black rally stripes, and I have a couple questions:


I want to buy black gill's off of rider graphix, along with, blacking out where the trunk bowtie/tail lights are.

My question regarding this is, Since I ordered my camaro, and ordered the black stripes package, is the black stripes package, going too be "gloss black" or "flat black" ? I figure I want too get the same type of black, for the rider graphix, but I'm unsure of what chevy's standard hood/trunk stripes are, are they more "gloss black"? or "flat black"? I need too know which one too buy, so my gills and other graphix, match the factory hood/trunk stripes.

So any input into which one would match, would be greatley appricated !!!


A couple other questions, If anyone has any clue, or can help, would be fantastic!

I ordered the 2011 SGM as i stated, with black interior/green panals, However I'm wondering, does it come with green stitching? or was this just on the special addition 2010 SGM.? My dealer didnt know, and wasnt sure, so if anyone knows, leme know please. thank you.



I want too do the following things, however what type of place, would be able too do, all or the bulk of these things?
( since i dont trust myself at all, with putting new things on my new car, I'm going too have a professional do everything. )

I want too:
Put the graphix on
Black out my tail lights
Get Halo lights
Powder Coat my wheels, and get my brake capsule painted
Put a custom bowtie on
Get the door handles painted black
Put in a cold air intake
Put in a new exhaust

^^^^ Does anyone know what type of place I should be looking for too get this done, I live in oviedo florida ( orlando florida ) If anyone knows personally a place, that'd be great, but in general, am I looking for just a paint shop? a personal mechanic? ect.. ect..?



If anyone can shed some light, on any of these questions above, and the first question, I'd GREATLEY appricate it, The fact that people take the time out, too help others on here, is great, so thanks in advance.

Any input helps!!!! you guys are great.

Mine are from Ridergraphix and they look great. I went with the flat black, not an exact match to OEM but they look great. My installer said it was one of the best "kits" he ever installed, very, very close and required only minimal trimming. Hope this helps. BTW flat black on an CGM is a VERY subtle, obviously on a different color they're going to stand out more. I'm going for a "stealth" kinda look and this worked out well. Hope this helps!

I just ordered some Bumblebee stripes in white, and gloss black gills for my IOM. Looking forward to getting them on the car, except the ground is still covered in snow and gravel. Hopefully just a few more weeks of this, and if I'm lucky, by the time the package gets here. I'll make sure to post pics.

Sorry to double post, but I had my hood stripes installed. I haven't got the spoiler or trunk stripes installed yet because GM is going to repaint my trunk lid. But here's the white Bumblebee stripes on an IOM car. Sorry for the dirty car and poor weather.
