Chevy was doing fine till they put those over size ghetto wheels on it. Camaro is supposed to be low and fast. Looks like a pimp-mobile. I hate it. Not your design just the car in general. They ruined the ground effect that Camaro has always had.

I know how you got the template of the shapes onto the paper but how did you get it into vinyl after that?

I give the customers 2 options
1. Oracal 8300 transparent dark grey
2. xpel smoked vinyl which is optically clear. < should be called Xpensive!

Looks great. Looking forward to seeing it completed ...
Thanks I should have pictures up later today.

After taking the pattern they are scanned and recreated in Corel.

Is it a good idea to cover your headlights?? Even with the hole you have to be restricting your visibility.

been doing this for about a decade now. This does not effect the projectors beam.
