Thanks again for all the compliments

The car is a 2000, with about 62,000 miles on it. Original paint, and it definitely shows in person, with some scratches and flakes
Daily driven all year, through snow and everything... No garage, no car cover.



anyway, thoughts on the stainless CAMARO inserts?

...would kind through off the "black on black" I don't know, your car is very unique right now...i wouldn't add the inserts, so many people have them...now what would be really nice is to have the "C-A-M-A-R-0" filled in and painted body color.....that would look sharp!

Here's what i would do (i just went back and looked at the pics again)...

I would remove the Z28 badge on the rear pannel, then i would fill in the letters and have that pannel re-sprayed in body color (no flat colors). I would also either chrome or polish the calipers to match the side badges and wheel lip...then i'd be done. I think that would look good....just my opinion.

Oh...and never ever let on to little secrets of your car (like "where did you get this from, where did you get that from..." Your car will always remain unique if you are a little bit of an *** when people ask you where you bought stuff...)

so fill in the letters and paint it the same color as the car and the panel? the letters would look like they do now, just outward instead of in?
or are you talking about making the back panel flat, without letters at all?

definitely interesting.. I'm not done with the car just yet, but I know I won't add too much more.

I was thinking about painting the calipers black, with silver/polished CAMARO or Z28 lettering... still not sure.

I mean make the back pannel flat. No letters at all. Kind of like shaving something, but it's the oposite. A body shop applys filler to the letters, sands it and then paints it. No more letters....i think it would like nice, but again it's your car...!

You might also consider taking off the side molding to give it the ultra sleek look. Not to noticable but I think it looks hot.

I used Meguiars NXT Tech Wax the day before the pictures. It was my first time using NXT, and I really liked the results... it still looks nice after a whole bunch of rain.
