Droped the car off at the body shop

Took the car to the body shop yesterday to get fixed and repaint the whole thing again.
heres the list of stuff i gave them todo let me know what you guys think of doing these things negative or good i wanna hear it before it gets done incase u change my mind
shave antenna
shave rear hatch keyhole
shave camaro off the back panel
remove side molding
and remove front emblem
also getting them to reattach the gfx with some new stuff instead of tape and they are gonna repaint the whole car and re do the stripes because they are off a **** hair too much on the back

What are your opinions on removing the side molding? look better or not? do you like the camaro shaved off the back or like it there?
thanks

Hey dobe, I just had my car repainted in March and had the side molding removed. I think it gives it "cleaner" body lines.

Here's a couple of pics, they're not the best but all I got right now!

Don't know how much it is going to cost yet.
they are also installing the PA tublar kmember and another set of longtube headers they wont let me do it my self at home because they have to align the car the car before it comes out the shop

Nice car Mike! yeah that does look better with then moldings removed. Will also have that duel purge coming out of the cowl soon also

i kinda do like the camaro on the back though but mmm

After I get all the parts, fenders, mirror, front bumper cover, etc it will be about 3 weeks after that tills its done.

Any thoughts of the 98+ SS spoiler? unsure how the two little "poles" that come down from the spoiler to the hatch will look like with my stripes.

Should look good, just have to figure out how to place them on the spoiler.

Well the stripes are gonna be painted on in the same place
my stripes are not like the other stripes on most cars
they look simular to the stripes of a dodge viper they go from the front all the way to the back, bottom of the car, and where the spoiler is they go over and under it and on the hatch

Here's some pics of the side moldings, emblems shaved, rear letters filled and pinstripes removed. Not the best pics, but the weather in NY hasn't been that great. I'll post better pics when i can.
