Honestly, if someone asked me that’s what I would claim. Like someone else posted, I couldn’t support the crook that is John Hennessy. Hell I’ll scrounge around and see if I can find a windshield sticker I can send you and replace that one.

Your car looks amazing, please don’t think I’m knocking that... I love the look of a windshield sticker, but not that one...

My next mod for you should you choose to accept, lower that car... bout 1.5 inches all around... Perfect...

Maybe a 'Phastek' or 'Camaro' windshield banner? I absolutely hate the redundancy of a big banner that says 'Camaro' on the windshield, but I guess it’s better than the Hennessy banner.

Here’s some pics of my wheel skins (fancy hubcaps ). They really completed the look of all of my cosmetic mods. In a way, it kinda makes the car look lower and wider imo. They were my much cheaper alternative to getting new wheels/tires cuz I work in fast food.
I feel your pain with fast food. Dunkin Donuts was my first job and I just couldn't handle it after a year, just not enough money. I was planning on painting my wheels black too but I just thought it would look tacky but I see yours don't especially with the gloss they have

I did plan on lowering the car a few months ago since potholes are starting to get filled in and roads are getting new pavement.

Yeah, I really don't understand the point of a banner that says "Camaro" or "Chevy". But a Phastek one wouldn't be a bad choice as a replacement.

Hopefully, I’ll be out of the fast food industry within a year and have my own business. It does help that I am a manager so I make enough to afford my car and put a good bit towards retirement, but I want the extra freedom and this job is driving me insane. There is waaaaaay too much drama at Chick-fil-A.

I also went with the wheel skins because if I decided I wanted to experiment with a new look, I could pop the covers off and paint them. If I don’t like the new look, it’s not permanent and I can easily revert it back to the original gloss black.
