And lastely, i stripped the entire interior. Gonna give it a shot when I paint the car and then laying down the Black carpet I got from Summit Racing over Peel & Seal from Home Depot because dynamat is outa my price range. I'll post some more pics up throughout the sanding/priming process. Didn't buy the paint yet but im %90 sure I'm gonna go with Obsidian Black Metallic.

looking like your off to a great start! To fix your spoiler some bondo and a bunch of hours smoothing and sanding should get it to look as good as new! Remember the more time u put in the better it will look. I just finished up mine and for a first timer it didnt turn out to bad! Good luck and keep us posted!

thats why im selling those and getting fourth gen leathers. But now that I rolled my daily driver less than two hours ago(civic), maybe it'll give me more insentive to work on the camaro harder.

The peal and seal works really good ive got a layer throughout my floor pan , Just get a seam roller to put it down and get it to stick better.

It really helps over the passenger floor over the cat to cut down heat, and my interior has never been so quite, to bad my AC went out right after I got my interior in so I have to drive with the windows down.
