Any details on the color?
Is it a standard white or a color on any current productions cars by chance?

Out the booth and back in again for the black tailpanel









Final assembly





One of the machined details we added to the car, it was on the rear quarter glass as a vinyl decal on the original car, sums it up pretty nicely:

One detail we wanted to adjust was the grille opening itself. We wanted a slightly deeper, cleaner look to be incorporated with a waterjet honeycomb mesh.







With the addition of the twin recessed scoops on the hood, we wanted a machined bezel for each opening that picked up on the more aggressive, contemporary details we were adding on the car.





New honeycomb mesh we created for the large opening below the bumper. Fun fact: the lower honeycomb pattern is a slightly different (taller) shape than the vertical grille above. The lower one sits on a 45 angle and the upper is vertical. The taller pattern on the 45 then looks the same as the pattern on the vertical even though both meshes are at different angles.

The creativity on this Camaro is really good. I'm impressed with how this one is turning out.

Why wasn't the Charger given similar details?
