Default Pics of the car in the museum. 1/10/09

Hey everyone, I took a few new pics of the Camaro in the Tupelo Automobile Museum. They are having a Camaro exhibit this month and wanted my car to put in there for the next few weeks. It's been in there since Tuesday and I cant wait to get it back! Anyways, I just recently had the manta stripe painted on and I wanted to get some opinions from other people on how it looks. Also, should I go ahead and paint my tail panel? I can't decide so i thought i would see what you guys think? Any input would be appreciated.

Car looks great. The manta looks good on there. I would get a new grille, either the SLP SS one or maybe a black billet style one with a red bowtie or at least get the Camaro inserts for it. Are you asking if you should do the berger mod or continue the stripe to the tail?

Thanks. I definitely need a new grille. My car was the only car in there with the factory one still in place. I think the gloss black grilles with either the red bow tie or red SS emblems look really good. As for the rear, I was referring to the berger panel. I don't know if that should be flat black or gloss. It's a 99 so the mirrors and top are gloss. With the manta also being gloss, would flat look bad?

I think gloss would look better since everything else is gloss. It wouldn't look that bad in flat black, but gloss would flow a lot better. Would you go with the polished Camaro inserts or red ones then?

Our cars look identical! I say do the rear panel, but just get one off a black SS. That way it's already got badges on it and it's gloss. Thats what i did. I also just started a thread today about getting the rear hatch stripe put on...i'm on the fence about it too.

Do you have red/black fender badges on your car? If so, can you send me a close up pic of it? I'm doing that to mine but haven't see in on any other car yet.

thanks! and your car looks good!
