Well, it slants the same way as the black heart on the hood!

ha, in kinda does look like a heart. I always thought it looked like the top of a rattlesnakes head or something. either way, i did it because I liked a black hood on a white car, but not cutting off where it did and making me think of a toilet seat lid. doesnt look bad with just a black hood, i just liked what i did better. to the stripes though, yeah they go with the slants, which i like.

Leave it alone as they are really not noticeable!

CBren · 09-20-2019, 05:08 PM

I actually think it looks pretty good, I'd say keep it.

the way you did your hood would look really nice on a 19 hood with that bumper cover .

I actually like it. I’ve been looking for ways to add more red to my black car and will think about adding that. Any chance you could add a close-up picture?

The differences in the lower grill are barely noticeable by comparison to how that hood blackout dominates the front end. Since GM never made a blackout that extends all the way to the grill, and neither do most car manufacturers, I think most peoples eyes are going to get drawn upwards because its a little bit of a non-traditional look for a Camaro. Since you're likely used to your own hood by now, I think such a small change to the lower grill will be something only you notice, so do what you like best. Not sure if any of that made any sense at all.

Its so unnoticable...don't waste your time.

It made sense, and thank you for the feedback. I did notice them a lot from the mock up with white tape, but that could be because I'm obviously looking for/at it. But it's still just a little touch I think makes it a little more unique without looking bad and may or may not catch peoples eye. The paint is very white so the contrast literally couldnt be any more stand out-ish on that black... I'll mock it up again this weekend or monday and take more pics. close and kinda far back.

OP, you need to see it with the DRLs on.

They will be divergent, and not look good, IMO.

But it's your car, so make it your own.

That's a very good point, sir

The stripes are make a very nice, but subtle improvement! Go that way!
