Default Sail panel replace

Thinking about going with a black sail panel when I fix it. Opinions?

You bought this car off of here recently? One of the most tastefully modified F-bodies on the site.

Sure did. And I'm very proud of it. I couldn't believe how well it was taken care of. And the attention to detail is impressive. My buddy Jerod (contraststriker) had good taste to say the least.

Glad to see it's still on here and in good hands. I'm going with the same heads/cam on your car and I have similar supporting mods. Hoping to put down similar numbers but we'll see. Any plans on taking this car to the track? What are your plans for it?

Edit: 6LE sells sail panels. I think in both fiberglass and carbon fiber. It's the adhesive on the underside of the sail panel that causes the bubbles. If I'm not mistaken the only fix is by replacing but someone with more knowledge will have to chime in.

Correct. There's a DECADE long thread about trying everything and anything to fix it but the only option is to remove the old one, get all the old adhesive off the metal and replace with an OLDER one (1993-1997 to be safe) IF you can get one off in one piece or buy a new one from us (we're the only ones that stepped up to make OEM quality replacements in FG and CF). Ours are 20% off now until the end of the month just use code TAX20 at checkout www.6ledesigns.com

Go for it! I just got back from a trip to Colorado on it. Had a blast. I haven't been to the track yet but I'm sure I will sometime this summer, maybe sooner

Whatever you like. I used to have a 1994 Camaro with a black sail panel. Then I got a 1996 Camaro and I've been painting the sail panel the same color as the car and that is my favorite look. I changed the sail panel and nose on my 1999 Camaro and had my car painted after the changes. All blue
