Just got my polished camaro gas lid from Stealthpanda (thank you btw) and I love it but I wanna know if I should paint it black with white camaro letters or leave it like factory?

Im not a fan of the chrome look and I think painting it will flow a lot better matching the rest of the car.

Clan you plastidip it? Maybe the horizontal piece black.

Nice spoiler. If I bought a white Ls there may just be 2 ZLs's in existence.

Man I wanted to stay away from plastic dip since I've had my time out in using the plastic dip lol but that's not a bad idea just to see what it looks like..

Lol I get a tone of attention since I built my ZLS... the Chevy dealer knows my camaro as the ZLS and all kinds of people at the car shows I go to.

I would say so. Every time I see a modded yellow or white camaro with the black contrast I get remorse from not getting that color. Then I get through drying the black cam and I drool all over it. LOL

BTW what kind of spoiler is that. It doesn't look like the one from classic industries is it? The pictures on their site don't look so pointy at the rear middle.

More clear photo

It's the factory high wing Spolier OEM. .. I've seen black camaros with nice nice kits that look scary too..

SIN R G · 08-06-2014, 11:17 PM

I would say throw it away along with that spoiler. That is my opinion and take it for what it is worth. It is your car so do as you please.

Btw you should update your album. I'm afraid an albino autobot may show up. And I'm dying to see your rear end. LOL We seen your front many times just not the rear.

Mike C · 08-07-2014, 06:09 AM

That looks a lot better! Nice Ride!

I think your car is at the right stage in terms of appearance. I'm not a fan of either gas cap textures, but it works with your scheme (leave off the painted letters IMO).
