I've made a couple myself, you can NEVER pass off
water slide decals as tampos so I'm sure people would
know it was a clone.
FWIW it's pretty hard to clone that car because the wheels
are kinda hard to find unless you want to cut up an expensive
car to get them
what I did on my last one was used regular gray wheels and then 
used bare metal foil to make the chrome rim area on the wheels and 
then used a white interior to paint orange (ever try to paint black plastic
orange?)

anyway, point is, even if you clear over the water slide decals you can
still tell that they're decals
not to mention the rivets on the camaro are really hard to duplicate, it's not
like the redline rivets work and the finishing nail head method looks fake too

BTW, any legally blind people want to buy a 95 camaro hunt for their collection? :-)
