i cant imagine that it would be different on an LT1 car, but all you have to do is pull back the carpet in the trunk and theres 4 nuts across the back that need to come out and thats about it

Black Manta stripe, unless you want a full set of stripes like 35th LE stripes or something but the manta would be good.

Looks good. Bowtie seems to be set a little too low though.

Also, you should think about getting some stainless or silver "Camaro" inserts.

Depends on your tastes. I have my panel painted gloss black with stainless inserts too and my tails are stock. I'm going to get a set of LT1 tails in the future and tint those since they follow the lines of the berger panel. Up to you though.

I agree. I would strip the amber and spray candy apple red translucent in there but i'm afraid I'd ruin the tail lights, of course I guess it wouldn't really matter if I had the LT1's I was going to put on anyways. Lol.

You can paint it on, or you can get decals. Google is your friend!
