Looks pretty good. I personally like the "CAMARO" lettering on the berger panel, but it actually doesn't look bad. Congrats on what looks like a job well done!

To me that looks good! But I have a friend that did that to his 98 z28 and when he tried selling it he had a hard time, prospect buyers would think it had been involved in some sort of an accident since the front and rear bumpers "looked aftermarket"..... it might not be your case since you're not selling it, but that did happen to my friend.

AMEN...Doing the same thing now. I'd rather do it all once and plan it out than waste time and money doing the same thing multiple times. I am going on 9 months now. Getting closer!!
