  • 3800 on 3rd Brake Light

    I just want some opinions on whether to do this or not. Everything on my car is either black or white on the outside besides the 3rd brake light. I was thinking about either blacking that out or getting a 3rd brake light overlay from bfranker. I don't want that to say camaro too. I don't want too much camaro on my car so I was thinking about having it say 3800 or just have the bowtie symbol. It will be in the same font style as the Z28 example I attached to this post. Thanks in advance for the opinions.

    I have the bowtie cutout on my 3rd brakelight. It's nice, but I think I'm going to remove it soon. Simply because I'm just getting tired of it.

      either will be fine. if you already have a 3800 decal on the back under your taillight though i would suggest the bowtie. i have one on my camaro as well because i already have a V6 decal below the taillight and i didn't want to be so repetitive.

      if you want the best of both worlds, you can do what i'm planning on doing this summer. i am gonna tint all my lights black, then, on the third brake light, i'm going to make an overlay that has the bowtie. that way, the light is still looks completely black but the bowtie still burns through.

        Well I don't have anything 3800 on my car so that's why I was thinking about having 3800 on the 3rd brake light.

        Yeah, that would look real good. I'll have to think about that.

          I think 3800 would look good on the 3rd brake light. I'm thinking about just blacking mine out completely.

            That's mine, but I like the bowtie idea.

              Yeah, I'm leaning towards the bowtie idea. I just saw some pictures of your car today and wasn't too happy. Our cars are almost identical, mostly on the rear. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2300862 Just take a look...I even have new exhaust now too..but I don't know if it's the same as yours. Just had the Flowmaster American Thunder put on. That brings me to another question..If anyone has had the Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust system put on, was it really low? My tips seem to almost be pointing down and seem to lie very low. It just doesn't look right to me, but all the hangers and everything look normal underneath. I'll post some pictures soon.

                  Yea, but with black Camaros, you can only do so much anyway. I like your body kit. I have flowmaster street series for my exhaust. I'm actually getting ready to drop my car and put 17 x 8.5 gunmetal c5 rims on it, so don't worry, we will have different looking cars. :) It prolly wont be until mid to late May, but that's what I have planned so far.

                      At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                      Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
