Default EB Z06 stainless inserts done

not normally a tough install of course... but if you read my thread from yesterday you know we were thrown a curveball for this one and it took FOREVER.

inserts of course came from dragonz28 (muffinbuster on ebay) and you can't say enough about the quality of his products and service. these are awesome quality just like the 2 sets i purchased for my ss and b4c.

pics showing the process...

Looks a million times better with the chrome inserts. I just ordered the polished CAMARO letters for the rear of the SS.

If I recall correctly, the red was not cleared, so it just came off with alcohol, and lots of elbow grease.

The car looks great!

it was just some crappy primer/spray paint sprayed over the clear... started coming off with the rubbing alcohol we were using to clean the letters for the inserts.
i'm super happy about it, i hated that red... and the stupid former owner that did it... but i wasn't expecting to get rid of it without forcing a repaint.
thanks for the compliments everybody.. definitely looks a million times better.

looks great, much better than the red ones, now you need to get the flush mount kit for those taillights.
