Default $9 camaro insert delete

I just finished up my little idea today. I wanted to shave or delete the camaro insert on the back of the car. I think it turned out pretty well for $9.

Basically all I did is go and buy a small can of bondo from Autozone, fill in the inserts, sand it down and then cover the whole panel in black vinal.

Let me know what you think...

Lol. I get that from the old bastard at work. He's one of my best buddies, but he's old skool. He thinks I should have it painted red. I like the berger panel tho. The panel was already black when I bought the car, I just "shaved" the camaro part.

It's not 100% perfect. Up close, you can see some dust in the vinal and what not, but from probably 4' back, you can't really see any defects. I think it looks good to the average eye.

crap, now you made me feel old. Well, i mean I always feel like my bodys failing, but now I feel like I'm not hip at all. In fact I just used the word hip, so you know i'm not not cool at all.

Lol no buddy. It's all just what you like. He likes to call my car "riced the **** out". Lol. He just thinks a car should look exactly like factory and have a stupid powerful motor. And ironically, we work on BMWs, but he hates any cars with electronics. I can understand it. If I had an old car, I would keep it all original. But the newer cars, I like to be different.

You covered it in vinyl? What made you decide on that over painting it?

I'm betting $, painting it would have cost a little more than $9 total

Not bad for $9.
I'm not a fan of the berger either. One of the only young guys I know that's not. I like the look of a clean camaro on some nice 'rich people wheels' or bigs and littles.
