What Not to do to a White SS

Lets stay away from Matte Black Hood Wraps








Stay Far Far away from the Trunk Lid Blackout
Notice the white/black overlay on the third brake light.....



Wrap on the Mirror. Not too bad...but, I just don't know.



HRE 101 21" - meh

I don't think it looks bad at all. Not what I would do, but to each their own. I'd be more likely to black out the roof than the hood and I think, with the dark lenses, the rear black out will look fine. I'm also a big fan of those wheels though I'd keep them to 20". They'd be my first choice if they weren't $10k. But, again, to each their own.

I might be alone here, but I think the gen6 needs some individual touches. Not everybody will like what somebody does but, because it does look so similar to the gen5 (not saying that it isn't improved), I feel like it already need additions to make it look fresh. Ford won this round design wise.

The hood wrap looks great, imo.

Would skip the mirror accents and what they did to the rear though (other than the SS relocation, possibly).

I think the hood wrap is ok. Don't love it or hate it. IMO the 6th gen Camaro has a really awkward hood line, so this really just makes it more noticeable. Look at how it juts inward toward the windshield. This is another example of something that used to work fine on the 5th gen with minimal effort, but on the 6th gen, it's not quite so simple to pull off.

Those sideview mirrors. Ugh. Big ugh actually. Not sure wtf is going on with those. It's like they are trying to cram all 3 main colors of the car — red, white, and black — into a very small space that should not normally have too much attention forced on it. Plus, the overall design isn't appealing, and the pattern is kind of random. I would keep it simple — just black out the sideviews entirely.

I think the rear blackout in this case makes the rear end look very, very tall because you start with a black diffuser, then go to a white bumper, then go to black near the taillamps, then another strip of white near the top decklid, then an air gap, then a second bit of white from the stanchion spoiler. That's SIX LAYERS of different crap going on in the rear! I feel that the blackout only really works well if you have a dovetail -- nice and simple by comparison, and does't look ridiculously tall.

If the hood wasn't shaped like a toilet lid, I would like the wrap a lot more.
