Re: What do you guys think???

Just my opinion mind you, but the front fender one looks gawdy to me. The back is ok. Maybe it would look better smaller and on the hood. I don't know.

Re: What do you guys think???

What do you think of this...and also putting it on the other side of the hood...?or do you think its too much, and just leaving it at one side?

Re: What do you guys think???

I would think you would want it on each side, or just one on top of the windshield.

No matter what other's may think, It's your car, do what you want. As for the hood stickers, They are not bad.

Re: What do you guys think???

They might look better if they followed the same font that is used for the Camaro. The bumper font is way too large. It should be sized to fit between the edge of the hatch lid and the starting edge of the black in the taillights.

Re: What do you guys think???

The big fender stickers that no one liked might look good on the doors where the IROC-Z stickers usually go....

Re: What do you guys think???

I'm not trying to bash your idea, but I think it'll look tacky anywhere but on the rear bumper. It gives the impression of euro/***** with all the stickers.

I'd recommend holding off, and having somebody do some cool pinstriping on the car when you have it painted. Have a professional do it. It's amazing what they can work in.. that might open the door to some more ideas.

Re: What do you guys think???

If you decide to take them off the hood I wonder what they would look liked on the sides of the chin spoiler in front of the front wheels...

Re: What do you guys think???

I sort of like them on the hood but for whatever reason the 0 in the 5.0 seems that it should have been made to match the O in the H. O. Just my opinion of course and I can understand why you may have wanted to differentiate them from each other too.

Re: What do you guys think???

It's your car so you do what you want, but here is my ...

Why are 5.0 liter stickers so important when you could obviously spend the effort fixing peeling paint, finding different wheels to better compliment the car, taking off all the other stickers, or just detailing your ride!

When I see all those stickers it makes me , do you have a 5.0 H.O. in that car, lol!
