I had not thought about the fill in letters. That sounds like a good idea. I think that would match my clear corners well. While I am here, any thoughts on the chrome or black halos lights.

Do flat black and get some stainless steel fill-ins to bring out the color.

Thanks Landon for the feedback. You made up my mind. I was using someone else's computer, and the pics looked fuzzy. Now that I am on mine it looks sweet.

Flat black or satin black. The red panel on a black car wouldn't look good. I think the charcoal panel as stated earlier in the thread would be the only other color that may work. I think it would look good with the classic style torque thrust 2s like on Blackbirds or Tom Henry SS Camaros.

Yeah those wheels would look, but I just put on my black ZR-1's last week. I am a sucker for black on black.

I bolted my buddies berger panel off of his car on to my Black Z and i really liked it. He has a spare panel he's going to let me have to make a Berger out of. That way i can always go back to stock if i want.

Where did you get the vinyl to do that? Did you cut the camaro letters out of the vinyl?

That carbon fiber look actually isn't too bad. I kinda like it because it's subtle.

Yeah, where can you buy a carbon fiber sheet? And how'd you fill in the Silver Camaro letters? Think it would look good on a black Z?
