Thanks guys. Couldn't have done it without the support and info provided by this community. You guys have encouraged me to do a lot of stuff I wouldn't have dreamed of doing before.

To the guy asking about the T/A logos, I would never dream of removing them. I've wanted an LS1 T/A since I was 12 (showing my youth a bit). I'm proud to have what I have and I want everyone, even people that don't care, to know what it is. They look fine w/out the TransAm emblems, but I love them. Plus with a white car the black text pops a bit and breaks up the side a little.
Not saying people should all leave them on. Just saying I really really like them and wouldn't remove them personally.

Looks good. Thank the good lord that mine was already done when I got the car. Now for the fiancees car, I hated it on hers.

I don't like the moulding (molding?) but I'm too chicken to do it since I'm scared it's going to be faded underneath. If there was a way to pull up a corner and check, then I'd try it.

When I did the side molding delete, I pulled the emblems while I was at it. Doing that, and the CETA made a bit difference in the appearance for a minor amount of work.

I did the mod on my 98 Z28 and had no issues with fading and the paint on the doors and rear fenders was original. It looks good on camaros even though it's very subtle
