Much better ::golf clap::

The molding on the LS1 was discoloring and looked ugly, so that was one of the first things i did to it.

All you need to know is that it looks much better without the molding. Free mod and its well worth it. Seems Camaro's benefit more from the mod than the TA's.

thats one of thsoe things i have to do but havent gotten around to it blah. it will make waxing a bit easier on the sides.

Nice work. It was one of the first things I did to my car, and I think it made a huge difference. Looks even better on the birds.

Never noticed mine, if its still on there Ill have to rip it off before I send her in for paint...btw the TA looks good.

DevilDougWS6 03-14-2009 11:56 PM

just out of curiosity what is the best way to go about this? ive heard of fishing line, blow dryer etc.

maroman88 03-15-2009 10:17 AM

i used a heat gun, fishing line and goo gone

first i heated i up with the heat gun, the slid the fishing line thru removing the molding. then i used the heat gun to heat up the remaing tape and peeled it off with my fingers, then i used the goo gone to clean up the rest and the old dried wax and dirt.

97slpss 03-15-2009 05:52 PM

looks good man... such a little thing makes a huge difference

bobb1589 03-15-2009 11:49 PM

hmm... definitely going to do it now after seeing some pics... ive been thinking about it for a while

CJDZ24_Z28 03-16-2009 08:20 PM

It def is a MUST on a Camaro. Out of all the firebirds I have owned and my current i haven't done it.

Teds89IROC 03-19-2009 02:22 PM
