Not sure...it's a toss up between going out with her, or her coming with us to Mikes planned little Pirates Movie event, or just going to the movie without her. The last option will happen when hell freezes over... She hasn't seen the second movie yet, so she wants to see that first with me before seeing the third one. But I am really not sure....she's got the night off, so if possible I'll hang out with her. Friday night I'll be there...can you make it friday night?

You should also have the shop spray the spokes of the rims in a dark grey/charcoal metallic, polish the crap out of the lips and then clear coat the whole rim

Make sure they leave the roof black and body color the mirrors...

Oh, I would also get a full manta stripe (rear included) done and remove the front grille and fill the holes while they are at it !

Did she get a SS spoiler to go with it? No reason to paint the crappy looking stock one...

I think she just wanted to leave the wheels the way they are...they are polished, not clear coated yet. What kind of clear coat do they usually use on wheels...just the same stuff they spray over paint? I sure as hell wouldn't mind not having to polish those things all the time...coz that's a pain in the ***.

She got the SS wing as well...it's inside the car....can't see it...lol, but as far as I know..she wanted to keep the mirrors black, paint the hood scoop black with a fade into the rest of the hood, and do a glossy berger panel that fades into the rest of the car. She is getting stainless emblems for everything, including a honeycomb hood scoop grille. The stock grille is getting painted black with the Camaro letters painted in body color, oh, and the camaro letters in the back are getting painted in body color into the berger panel as well, I believe that's the plan for now as it stands....I hope the guy wrote everything down!

Some odd choices in there but maybe it will end up pretty cool !

As for clear coat, yes, just polish the living $hit out of the rims and then have them cleared with the same clear they are using on the car. I've had it done before and it does NOT peel and is so nice to be able to just wash the wheels off and get the shine back !

I'll wait till he's done painting the car, once she gets it back I'll polish them and have him clear coated. No sense trying to do it now, since they might get overspray on them during the paint process.

Quite frankly, I can't wait till it's done. It will definitely be unique in town.

What do you guys think of "blending the Berger Panel" and blending the black of the hood scoop in? Is that trying to hard to be different or will that look good? I am kinda against blending the Berger Panel, but on the scoop...it might look ok...not sure. I am not much for fancy schmanzy blending stuff.
