Default FRC opinion

Ok, I'm looking to put some GTO FRC's on my Camaro, so my plan here is to repaint the FRC but i need an opinion i've came up with two different ideas. any opinion is greatly appreciated. also i know it looks like a 5year old photoshopped but bare with me. the concept is easy to grasp.

To be honest, I don't think GTO FRC's look well on F-Body's. It's too bulky for our sleek look.

I like the top. You could have Dragonz28 make a strip to say Camaro like he did for my FRC.

I'd do the the top one also.

I've seen one other Camaro with the GTO frc's, looked pretty good. With the GTO's frc's you might not have to clear all **** out of the way you do with the Vette's design since they look like they sit higher. Down side is if you pan on using an STB make sure it will fit. I had to switch from my slp stb to a BMR so the frc's would fit under it.

Here's a pic:

Here mine.

AND YES...they say Corvette. I kept this because the '98 was the first production year the Z28 came with the Corvette V8. So I thought I'd pay a little tribute to that.

I think if you like them then that is all that matters. You will get all kinds of crazy responses here on what others like. Be different and go with what u like. I have the same style covers as thecobrahunter and like them. I would add polished strips with something etched to cover the GTO letters. Thanks
