Default Stainless Steel accents and some other things....

These are my stainless steel accents made by dragonZ28:






The front bumper bird is made from acrylic mirror by Spinner Premium Designs. Also, check the brushed aluminum fuel door from an Eclipse:



The LS1 aluminum emblem I got from Motorworks, a Corvette site, the 5.7 emblem is from a Caprice:



I saved some controversy for the end. The yellow covers over the fog lights. I use them from time to time, they look cool at night! Also the stainless steel air dam is visible in the pic:



What you think?

?? for CHAMAN: how much does the acrylic mirror bird on the front stick out from the plastic. i am thinking about getting it but i dont want a thick piece of plastic sticking out in front of the car. does it look out of place looking at it from above or the side. and the PONTIAC filler on the back, are they flush with the plastic. i want to be able to run my hand across the back and not feel any edges. thanks for any info, i am very particular and i wont put just anything on my TA.

It looks like the gas door fits real good. What year Eclipse? Got any pics of from a distance? Does a camaro have the same size hole? I've been thinking about doing this to mine.

The front bird is 1/16 thick so I say its pretty thin. The PONTIAC filler fills neatly the groves of the letters but if you run your fingers over it you will feel the edges but just slightly. Ask dragonz28 for more details if you like. As for the front bird go to Spinner Premium Designs and the guy there, he is a very nice dude.

It does fit good. I believe is from 2001-02 model. The Camaro has the same hole size but Im not sure if the fender curves are the same. Here is a pic at a distance:

Thanks dude. I'm sure the curve is close enough. I've never taken off the gas door. Was there anything really dificult about doing this, like haviing to pull the tank?

No the tank does not need to be removed at all. I dont remember well all the details but I think some cars need to have some rivets removed or something. Its pretty straight up you will see....
