Default Added Some Vinyl

I put on the ss scoop fill vinyl from Afterthoughtauto.com. I love the way it looks. This weekend I'll be wet sanding, polishing, and hopefully whistler modding my headlights! Wish me luck on that. Still debating getting a black grill for the front.

Looks great! I'd finish her off with a Manta kit (maybe gunmetal grey)...

BayAreaSS - It is actually very easy to do. The instructions are pretty detailed. The only thing is to make sure you take your time with lining it up, and make sure you get ALL of the soapy water out from under it. It takes a long time. Be patient, and make sure to keep going over it with squegee or credit card. Don't want bubbles.

Silver02TA - Yes, It badly needs a grill. It was one of those things where I popped the stock grill off, and as I did so I heard the clips fall into the bumper and I realized they were gone forever. Can't decide between black billet or SLP.

IMHO, definitely go with a black billet grille. I've wondered what one of those decals in a semi-gloss would look on my black Camaro.

I think that would look pretty sweet with a semi gloss burger panel. Subtle but noticeable differences.

Car looks good BTW, I'd thought about doing that to mine if I could figure out what hood I wanna throw on the car when the time comes.

Definetly stick with the theme and go Black Billet (like the GMMG cars) and do the Berger panel...

Although, this car looks great:
