Did some appearance upgrades today. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Carver1 · 07-10-2011, 10:15 PM

I tinkered around today with some things I have been wanting to do since I bought the car last week.
Since it is white, I thought it needed some highlights.
I trimmed the polished wheels with a thin red pinstripe.

I also plasti-dipped the front. (Not sure if it will stay)

The Bowties are both painted red.
I also painted the engine cover and added some stainless hardware.

I didn't get a good pic yet, but the CHEVROLET is painted black.

Interior is next!

It's just vinyl pinstripe from AutoZone. I bought two different widths, but went with the thinner one. 1/8th inch maybe?

Thanks for all the compliments!

The pinstriping on the wheels is a great idea!

Nice looking start to your Camaro..

It's just plain ole $2.99 roll of pinstripe from the sticker rack. I am thinking about putting on the thicker roll, just to see if it stands out too much.

Looks real good, post pics with the thicker roll.
