I've never been a fan of bras, but the car looks good.

Let's see how long it takes for someone to say how sweet that neon in the back ground is :poke:

The bra is to cover up the damage on the front end until I can get it fixed. I have a new bumper support comin in the mail, and i'm hopefully pickin up a hood in August, then !bra.

LOL the Neon is the riced out Dominoes delivery guy.

Looks good man. What year is that? I want to do it to my 97 Camaro, but I'm afraid the paint won't be the same color and it'll look horrible.

Its a 2001. You gotta also check if the car was sprayed with the molding on, if it was its not gonna be just a peel job. If you take it off and its a diff color you can try wet sanding the door, or compounding it and waxing. What color is you Camaro?

I don't think it was sprayed with it on. It's red.

I dunno if Camaro has the 3 piece molding (fender, door, quarter panel), if it does just take off either the fender or quarter molding first and see if you can get it off easily without havign to take off too much crud, if not, get some 3M double sided tape and stick it back on.

I just pulled the small front strip off, and after you clean all the left over glue off, it looked good. I'm thinking of doing it all the way down, but I noticed something. It almost looks as if my modling were repainted. There's a small darker red streak (same red as my moldings) on the actual body in the little section in front of the door. I don't know if I pull off the molding if it'll look crappy cuz of that or not. I'll find out tomorrow I guess (getting hot today, and I've got to go to class) :P

Re: Side molding delete on the Bird (pics)

how do you take it off a camaro, do you just muscle it off, or do you use a heat gun?

Re: Side molding delete on the Bird (pics)

pull it off. Roll the glue off with your fingers. Do it on a hot sunny day. comes off way easier. I had both sides done on my camaro in 30 minutes due to hot sunny weather.
