Shoot, they can make it out of it all. But, this one on the Camaro looks to be aluminum, I presume.

I have seen them do it both ways... For instance.... Rampage is carbon but other projects I have seen are thin wall steel or aluminum. Whatever the project calls for and the application.

Exactly why I said the can make it out of whatever you want them to. They'll even carve you one out of billet with that fancy 5-axis machine they have if you want them to.

Funny, I am an Aerospace engineer and we play with cool hardware all day long. In spite of that there is a certain lack of creativity because every part has to have pedigree and be at least somewhat like the last one we made. There is a little kid-like part of me that would just like to chuck it all and go sweep floors at the Roadster Shop and watch all this happen. Of course that isn't possible but I can dream !!

You'd have to get in line behind me and I'm sure I'd be in line behind 100 other guys. Lol!!

To me, that small detail gives the illusion that the front grill and tail are larger than they really are. When in reality, it is just the black paint extends onto the bumpers.

What he said!
Big leap of faith from an owner that has all black cars to go white on this one...how does that conversation go? Obviously the right decision, basic white has never looked so good! Love it!

This Camaro is sick! It's gotta be one of my favorite builds put out by the extremely talented crew at the Roadster Shop. Well done, well done.
