Looks damn nice!!!.....I just did mine with the keyhole deleted only, looks ten times better than it did stock. Added a Hurst Equipped emblem for nostalgia. That one panel changes the entire appearance of the car I think.

Its weird how some poeple spend a lot for little extras on there car and then there are some that go to great lengths to remove factory details. I don't get it.

Looks like you did a pretty nice job man. Hopefully you want have any bleed through issues later on with the "camaro" letters. I went ahead and removed the letters completely and then filled it in.

Thanks for the compliments, I'm a girl though

I really like the old Z/28 emblems, but Ithink I would paint the red 'Z' black...I'm not sure though....It is nice and simple now, almost too simple, but would an emblem be too much?

i did this to my rear panel, about a year ago, but havent painted it yet
i did it by cutting off the inside of the keyhole and grinding it down flat, then just layed a couple sheets of glass down on the backside. Then i filled that and the camaro letters in with body filler.

Just curious, but how would you get inside your trunk if the solenoid ever failed? I'm removing mine in lieu of a reverse camera, but I have a hatch SubThump box which won't allow me to access the inside of if mine fails.. Any alternatives that anyone can see on how I can get into mine IF my solenoid fails???
