chrome fender trim; yes or no!!
I just got my camaro and this thing is loaded. all it needs is a good paint job and driver side seatbelt and there is no rust its just the clear coat is coming off. one of the "extras" that came with it were aftermarket fender trims. however the back one on the drivers side has a crumpled looking dent and is pulling off the fender a little. What does everyone here think about this aftermarket look? too bling bling? I feel bad about taking it off cause i already took off the cowl induction hood on it and replaced it with a normal z28 hood i like better. should i replace or get rid all together?

You could keep the chrome wheel flares if you put gold wire wheels, a mini steering wheel that looks like its made out of a chain and maybe a big hood ornament to go with it, those things seem the same to me.

Do you have any idea of how bad that looks?, It's horrible. Oh lord is it ever horrible....
I've seen one personally, it looks horrible, so stupid.
Please don't put them on, I know its your car and everything, But if you are asking for advice, theres mine

You can always put the 91/92 RS GFX on there, along with the high rise spoiler, and maybe a 2" cowl hood.
Tint the windows real nice and depending on the paint remove those shopping cart protectors
Throw some Neons under her, some mild 17" rims, and put some mesh in your air dam.
Paint up your calipers and scrape the rust offa ur brakes, paint them nice and shiny.
If you got more money, Shave the antenna, and drop her down anywhere from 1.5 - 4 inches
