The name doesn't ring a bell, maybe if I had some more info. . . .

If you really mean (only the best for my baby) forget the vinyl !!!Keep your eyes open as you get around and ask people you know if they have any idea where you can pick up those parts.The vinyl will never bend and fold nice on the ends and it will look way out of place when put next to the other plastic.Used plastic for those cars should be .05 and a .10 just my .02 worth!!

I've already seen this done to numerous cars, and if you do it correctly with a heat gun, you can get it to bend in any direction you want. I've already made up my mind, and I don't think you can change it. Regardless of what most people say, I'm probably not going to find any panels for my car that are in good condition for a cheap price. It's really pathetic how companies can charge so much for the parts, just because they carry the GM logo. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

What im trying to say is if you bend it over the edge, the part will not sit flush (level) with the next part.And you can't just hack it off at the end of the plastic you are covering because we all know what that looks like.
My experience is that I was never happy with the cheap and easy way out of anything,, keep looking for plastic.Go over to the camaro site and list a want add for the parts you want and you'll be suprised.But hey if you want vinyl,, vinyl it is!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
