How did you decide where to place the new emblem?

I created a rectangle around the original lettering using painters tape, marked the top and bottom center point and applied it from there.

For your viewing pleasure, after 8.5 hours, the detail is complete. The emblems are now on. I think this guy is amazing and he only charges like $150. Im not sure why that last image decided to turn sideways.

Shiny girl
That is cheap as ****

Yeah I know. He's the cheapest in town. He washes the clays the car. When he's done with that he buffs everything the seals it with Jet Seal. I called all around here and most want $350-600 to do what he does. I bet they also wont take their time like this guy does either. Granted now he doesn't use a heavy compound and tear into the clear but it still looks nice when done. Id love to have it paint corrected but it wouldn't last long here. I have a good many chips in the front bumper from interstate driving back and forth to work every. I may as well wait a while and make it worth it to repaint the bumper lol. I asked him the first time I had him out why he was so cheap and he just looked at me and said, "Does it look like I'm sweating this? I love doing this. Now if I leave town I'm getting paid but around here its my hobby." Cant argue with that or his work for sure.

I need a paint correction too but probably just spray front bumper mine is all chipped too from being driven in New York. My windshield is pretty bad too thinking of getting that replaced on day too

Oh I feel you on the windshield. Mine in the right light looks like the stars came out lol. Florida is horrible. Sad thing is I only go maybe 10mi one way on the interstate and I get this much damage. Granted I put like 20K miles on my car almost in the first year going back and forth to work. Its all good though, she is my baby and I plan to keep her for the long haul. When the kids and grown and gone I want to do heads/cam/stall then twin turbos. Then Ill be happy.

Crazy how pitted these things get. Until this generation of cars, I do not recall any of the previous vehicles having a windshield like this. lol.

I am in the Pensacola area.

BEAUTIFUL CAR! I'm in the process of changing my badges ,logos and rims to black on my yellow 2014 vert. Looking at your car, I know I made the right choice.

I put these on because, I'm old and old school. Plus, I really like the way they look. I even put one on my dashboard.

Nice, looks good. There were some young military members that was sitting next to me at the light when I was leaving base one day. They had their windows down and I could hear them arguing that my car wasn't a Camaro because it didn't say SS on the side. One was saying if it doesn't say SS its not a Camaro. I looked over and smiled and when the light turned green I let her rip and and pulled in front of them so they saw the SS on the rear lol. Bet they stopped arguing after I gunned it lol.
