!Camaro?
Hey guys,
my mom backed into my car and damaged the berger panel. When i get it replaced, I was thinking about having the "CAMARO" removed or filled in. I was thinking about doing this only because I haven't seen it done before, and I know the body guy who would do it(cheap).I totally suck at photoshop, but i tried anyways.
Before
After
Yes i know I have leet photoshop skillz
Opinions? Comments? Suggestions?
EDIT- notice the damage is the white part under the passenger tail light.

I'm trying to downplay any kind of flashyness except for my TTIIs. The inserts would look nice but Id have to splooge for some more shiny stuff on the car so they would fit in.
thanks for your input

im not sure. i havent talked specific digits with him, but mommys paying for it anyways cuz she backed into it!
but he works at a stealership and said by the book, the panel costs 145, not including prep and paint. So itll be a lil more, then a lil more for the shaving and fill-in.

Depending on what color scheme you're going for (ie. Red w/Black) I would say fill it in with the accent color. Maybe black or stainless stell in your case, depending on what you like. But DONT DITCH THE CAMARO!

Thanks for all the input guys, i really do appreciate it. the SS inserts look nice and all, but I love the reserved and incogneto look of the shaved.
I think I will get it shaved along with the lock and radio antennea(i took it off today anyways)
