Removed fender and SS emblems, added 1LE Splitter etc

AbsolutHank · 04-19-2016, 07:58 PM

Starting to make some changes to the car this week. I hate having anything stock

I added the 1LE splitter in black, which was a quick, painless install. I added Gun Smoke tinted film from Big Worm on the marker lights. I should have went with the darker film, but its ok for now. I ultimately want to go with colormatched lights with LEDs whenever someone starts making a set for the Camaro6. Finally, I removed the fender Camaro Flag emblems and the rear SS emblem. I really think it made a big difference.

Stay tuned, my GM Lowering kit came in today and my 20mm wheel spacers are coming in Friday. I'm also painting the calipers red with some new white Brembo decals. I hope to get it out for some good pics this weekend to show you guys the GM package. For now, some cell pictures from earlier.

That looks really good! The lip spoiler and split 5 spokes are awesome. I'm excited to see it with the lowering kit

Never been a fan of removing emblems, but with that Summit White, it looks awesome/clean.

thats a perfect white camaro

That looks great!!

Where did you get the splitter from? Price.

Going to look even better lowered and wider

Techn9cian805 · 04-19-2016, 08:24 PM

Why not remove the front SS emblem too? That would truly complete the look

Also, do you plan on wider wheels or just spacers with the stock wheels?

Joshfrisco · 04-19-2016, 08:28 PM

Looks good Abs, one of the cleanest summit whites on the forum.

Glen e · 04-19-2016, 08:28 PM

The ss and backing plate come off clean as if nothing was ever there

Sexy car!
If you are doing everything on the car as black and white why red calipers?

I'm not necessarily going for that look, it's just the way it looks in its current state!

I like the red, I just hate the rear SS badge placement like many of us do. I temporarily added it to the trunk lid and it didn't look right there either, so it's just not there at all right now. Here is a quick pic of it mocked up where I thought it'd look best -

Just don't go overboard. Don't ruin the image of the SS. Its cool to take of some badges, but you paid a pretty penny for the SS. So just show them the SS as they are checking to make sure you don't have any tail lights out.

agl_bst · 04-19-2016, 09:11 PM

Is the rear SS emblem just stuck on with like an adhesive or is there a screw in the bumper? Did it leave a hole where the emblem used to be?

Car looks great so far

Rear Badges are all tape
