Hi,
Question please. Your rear truck bowtie is blacked out.
Did you change it out or use an insert?
Any help would be great.
Thank you. NICE car.

That's a tough one because either way can look great. However, I went with a different option by replacing the chrome letters with onyx black letters.

Keep 'dem badges! Lets the uniformed know that it's a CAMARO and not a Mustang, Challenger or worse, a Charger.

Got rid of the chicklets and the bowties, once I found decent SS emblems. CAMARO badge works for me.

Debadge it! It looks great sleek and cleans up well in between washes! I only left the RS badges on the hood.

I am usually a fan of de bagging and do it to all my vehicles, On my 5th Gen I ended up wrapping with a matte Black the face of the letters so its Black and chrome and I like th elook. I do have a full set of Black letters to put on if I choose. At this point if the wrap starts to peel I think I will just remove them completely.

Yeah, it is still a matter of personal preference. You do what you like to make it look how you want. I was also looking at the black onyx lettering, but decided to just keep them off. Camaro looks great Bee!!!

Have some wrap laying around and decided it was nice enough out to give this a shot. Like you say if doesn’t hold up, off it comes.
