Re: Blacked out headlight buckets

Thanks. And not to many problems. The drivers bucket isn't perfect under the headlights and The lines aren't perfect. But I didn't wanna scratch the paint.

Looks nice bro, you going for the Z28 look huh ? That's how my Z28 has em. The RS headlamp pockets came in the same color as the rest of the body. I see that the lower spoiler lip has flat black on it what's that about :?

Re: Blacked out headlight buckets

Well It actually started out with just doing the lip black but I had some left over so I put it on and I liked it lol. So I mean I guess I'm kinda going for the z28 look. And I did the lip because it was scraped up so bad that it looked horrible so I wrapped it to cover it up. I think it looks pretty good and it protects it from scraping a little bit.

I also noticed this but I was not sure if it was just me.

I laughed out loud at the two guys talking about above or below, sorry guys it was just to funny, either that or I have a very strange sense of humor ha ha.

Anyways this looks great man I have always been a big fan of the blacked out buckets.

Re: Blacked out headlight buckets

Checked out the photobucket, car looks awesome man reminds me of my 91 RS

I noticed yours has the pinstripe going along the side I have never seen this on any other Rs besides mine, and i always wondered if the previous owner did this himself, did yours come this way?

Re: Blacked out headlight buckets

Looks very nice,

I like that you used a solid strip of vinyl where the stripes usually go, to create an aesthetic lip along the lower front ground effects.

I just recently read a post where the owner used garage door rubber molding to create a front lip spoiler effect... imo, ruined the entire look of a very good looking Camaro and looked like euro/white trash supreme!!!

Re: Blacked out headlight buckets

The black looks out of place on the blue chin spoiler, mybe a clear wrap would have worked better, thats just my oppinion. As for the rubber it looks good since the car is black. Reminds me of the 99-04 Mach 1 mustang lip. But to each his own ryte, love it or hate it, it the owners preferance not ours.
