Default Need Help Asap!
I got my new rims in and I was going to fix up the caliper area with some CAMARO letters from ebay.. I have the letters ready to go, But there is one problem. My calipers have a little seam the comes out alittle bit right where the letters would be placed?? Can someone tell me if it is safe to grind that part off for a smooth surface?

Its just fine to grind the calipers smooth, 100s of us have done the same thing to fit 15" drag wheels. They are aluminum, so they aren't too hard to grind/polish on.
