Not trying too hard... just trying to find a unique fix to a problem. If you saw the lip as it is right now you'd understand. I do dig this look though. And no, colored tires are not happening.

I was completely joking I know whatcha mean. And im also one of those people who trys to find 'new' things to do to my car to make it original. But, the best analogy I can give, is think about that guy down the street thats obviously got a $1000 invested at pep boys on his car. All the colour matches, but its just so tacky cause there is so much. I like the lip the way it is because it diffuses some of the red. Dont get me wrong, i'll admit it that I think your car is one of my fav camaros around, so dont think im hating on you or anything

Oh I know. And even if you are hating - sall good. Everyone has thier opinions, I wont bash people for thier opinions (like some would). Just I'm trying to tie everything together on the car. The silver was the plan to tie the emblems, grill, lugs, and tips together and should've worked. But the more and more i look at her, there's not enough sliver there to justifiy the huge silver lip. The red flows better IMO. I like this look. But, if it's one of those "well, it looked good on paper..." things. Then I will pull all of it off and re-apint the wheels. But if i do re-paint - the lip will be thinner.

I agree with that. Sounds like a good plan. Do it and see how you like it, if it never fits right, pull it off. And definately make that lip thinner. I've personally never liked the really thick lipped ones, hence why I painted my zr1's instead of buying them predone with the big lip.

Either way, good luck, and show me some pics!

Not a fan. Interesting thought though...I like the way you think so differently.

I didnt know it was vinyl pinstriping. It would look good with a painted red lip.

I know what you were tryin to accomplish with the silver lip- stick with it. I think the red lip is tryin too hard. I honestly hope its a better on paper idea on this one..

Honestly grant I would stay with the polished lip. But it is your car and not any of ours so you do what you think is best for her

Did you strip the clear and polish it or just leave it the way it is and paint the middle?
