Default Color scheme for a pewter SS

i have an '02 pewter SS with a billet grille. i'm going to get smoked turn signals and rear bumper lights and black out the CAMARO lettering on the rear bumper and do with whistler mod in black and tint the windows. will a black hockey stripe along with a manta graphic(the one that make your whole hood scoop black) be too much? thanks

My manta stripe is painted, not a sticker. I don't believe there is a sticker on my car anywhere

The berger panel was mine from my previous vert that I had painted flat black.

I have a set of smoked turnsignals and sidemarkers that I just haven't tried out yet. They do look good on pewter though

how much did it cost ya to get the manta stripe and the berger panel painted? i'll probably try to find a used panel and get it painted black, i was under the impression that you could buy them new pre-painted. and your car looks really good, man.

It cost me $0000.00 to have mine painted

You would probably be looking at upwards of $500 to have it done though.

Thanks

ok, i'll probably end up going with the manta stipe sticker set but i really wish i could find one that runs into the berger panel like yours does instead of stopping right before it.

$500.00??? Wow, didn't know it was that expensive in Tulsa?

My manta is also painted, cost me around $350.00 including the front clip.

It's good to have friends.

$350 for the hood scoop alone sounds about right. I assume since he was asking me about mine though, that he meant down the entire car which also includes the spoiler and hatch, not just the hood.
