Re: October COTM **Voting**
I pressure washed mine, then hit is all with a scotchbright pad in fine grit, and wiped with wax grease remover. I then used tin foil to wrap lines and stuff. Used the Eastwood Extreme Chassis black. I used the Eastwood detailing paints for the heat shields and fuel tank etc. Very easy to apply and has been durable enough for my limited driving.

Re: October COTM **Voting**
As the COTM editor, I have no powers to change the voting anymore than any other member by posting great pics of their cars. Its all member based and I can't edit the votes. All the nominations are beautiful camaros, and I happen to have one too... it would be a bit not fair to be excluded because I take the time out of my day to set this up every month for OUR community, because I help.

My apologies, it appeared there were other cars being submitted, I've removed mine.
For me, I've always loved the way BADNBLK looked. It's SUCH a unique looking touch to have the turquoise highlights in the ground effects. :-)
