The Daytona photo shows just how far off the molded camera really is.
The Darlington photo is from 2021, that's a Gen 6 car. |

Based on the decal preview, the roof camera is STILL in the wrong place. Why is this so hard to get correct? It was too far to the right on the Camaro. This company is such a clown show. |

For the rear quarter windows I used the kit decal from the 9 as a template, masked the front part that stays clear, then shot them primer, paint, flat clear, and then the black decal border. |
