I think the CME cleans up the rear of the Camaro's really good where as the T/A's have the right bumpers for exhaust tips.

Here's how it fits around the front of the bumper. Disregard the black paint on the passenger side, I used water based paint to dye the gray adhesive and got some on the car. I've already cleaned it off so don't start with me.

i had a 02z28 that color in highschool, i got kicked out of school and dad took it from me. i miss that car so much

thanks for the new pics, It helps me visualize how the valance is gonna be mounted. It looks like its gonna be easier then I thought. Fed-ex came to the house, but I wasn't around to sign so he took off with my valance but UPS left me a box at the door with this in it



Cant wait to mount this bad-boy

You have to have a satin berger panel to keep it satin i believe. I like the one with the berger, but the one above needs to either do a berger, or color match it. All in all though they look good, because you can't go wrong with cme lol.

Most likely yes because there are more bends on the exhaust. But a cutout can easily fix that problem.

I like the way it looks now, because to me it makes the rear of the car more modern. Because most of the newer cars have the lower part of the bumper black. I don't do the berger panel because I also have a black 3" cowl hood right now and black rims, I don't want to look like I have a bunch of black parts allover the car

OP I love that color, that is a beautiful SS. I'm planning to paint my K5 Blazer that color as well. As far as the CME it looks good black but you could go either way. All in all it's gonna come down to personal preference. IMO I would paint it the same blue as the car.
