Just heads up. I just spent the last hour or so trying to replace the support bracket. I can't get it off the car. I'm trying to avoid pulling the front fascia. I talked to two guys on Facebook who have done it and they claim it's easy. I say nay nay. I know for a fact I have it not attached to the car. I just can't get it out/angled to slide out (like they say). Not the first time I've wasted money. Guess I go to a paint shop and see about getting it clear coated.

I tried to get mine off one time, to no avail. After I gave up, some one said to unholy the hood latch. Don't know if that's even possible, but that's what prevented me from removal.

Yeah I just spent the last little bit looking online and JUST saw that. Man this is frustrating. I guess I will have to pull the front fascia. Ugh.

Might try to see if I can undo the front hood latch.

Hmmmmm......

Think I'm going to go with protecting in place (clear coat or similar). I'm pretty mechanical but if you guys are having issues....

I'd go that route, those autographs are special on the car, so if someone can clear those without messing them up, that's what I'd go for.

I put clear tape over mine. I may remove the strut bar in time, but for now, it's on the car.

I do know that, was trying to find someone that dislikes the spoiler as much as I do that relocated the antenna and booster so I could replace it.

Posted this over in the order tracking thread, but here is probably better....

Wanted to get thoughts on these two layouts.

Option 1 (The "Frame" is from the F1FTY poster packaging for reference.)


-OR-

Option 2 (Movie poster frame.)


This would be part of my "Camaro Overload" wall that will include the posters as well.

I've gotten some input already but was curious what some other F1FTY folks thought. Thanks.

You've got my answer already but here it is again. Option 2!

And I currently have my cards being mounted into something similar to your option 1. I will share pics when I go to hang those and the print from Atom Barry (just got it back from the framer).
