Changed out the Rally Stripes today

After one of my peacocks decided to dance on the hood of my car and scratch it up I saw the opportunity to change the white stripes to metallic silver after I buffed it out. Hard to tell from the pics but the silver flows better with the car. The last pic shows the white Rally Stripes. Now if the UPS truck would arrive with the Hex Vents I will install them.

Nice....the Metallic Ray Blue and silver stripes are a great match. Super classy look. BTW - that's what I have ;0)

I like the IBM and silver combination. Like you, I changed from white to silver and like the difference in contrast. Hex Vents sounds like a good addition. Post pics when completed. Do you plan to install the vents keeping the Rally Stripes? Painting vents or leaving black?

The vents will be painted the same color as the stripes. The grills and drip pans will be painted IBM.

Nice man! If they would have had IBM for 2014, I would have totally done it with silver stripes. I always loved that combination, BRM just isn't the same... Keep it up. She's a beautiful ride!

It must be the IBM they like because they are attracted to only the Camaro, I usually have it under shelter protected from the birds. They have good taste anyway.

Those look like mine. Chrome wheels. Mine are factory wheels from CalChrome.
The absolute best look imo. www.calchrome.com
