I decided to have my Manta stripe painted on instead of the vinyl graphics, because I didn't think it looked right with a gap in between the spoiler and the deck lid. So I had them paint the bottom side of the spoiler to make it look right!

Actually Chris (Whistler) is his user name on here painted it for me. He knows what the hell he is doing so no template was used, just free hand taped.


Thanks guys

I got the idea from Nineball's old 99 Hugger Orange Camaro SS. There is a bunch of pictures of the car on his Fquick garage. And here is the picture I got it from.

hahah. sweet ride. I don't like the pinstripe unless you have the complete stinger stripe, like i stated before. I Think the vinyls look like *** since they just lay on top and leave the inside of the manta body color.

Thanks guys
