advice needed!

has anyone applied the endzone graphic chrome bumper inserts on their camaro? (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2422125040)

any advice on applying them? i know this is fairly easy, but should i wash/wax the bumper first - any tips? i wanna do it right the first time.

also - i'm ashamed - but i'm pretty clueless about my camaro in general - is there any1 who would be willing to teach me just a lil bit about my car - like basic mechanics? and please, don't be snarky about it - i just want to learn more about my car.

thanks.

I would say that they are probably ok - but may be a little tricky to stick on. Most of that chrome stuff like that is VERY thin - making it almost impossible to work with. But it may be worth a shot - especially for just $6. Although - the guy doesn't know his Camaro's (94-03...)

What general tech are you wanting to learn?
Most people aren't going to be mean to you just because you don't know a lot about your car. Try hanging out in the V6 Tech (although it's not very fast moving) and learning a bit about your engine, drivetrain and such. Just to learn about the 93-97's in general, you might want to frequent the LT1 Tech just for knowledge.

Edit: Forgot to mention - I wouldn't wax before applying them - just wash - and then, get out of the direct sunlight, and put some soapy water on there where you are applying them - stick 'em on, and get them where you want them. Then let the sun dry the soapy water out.

lol, I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing with you. I put that, because I didn't see it in your post at first.

So did you use soapish water or not vampire slayer??

I signed your guestbook on cardomain. Try racing stripes to go along with your rear inserts. It'll look really hot then.
