“It’s always exciting to see a component you’ve been part of the creation process on functioning in the market place. It’s even more exciting to see it on the big screen in a major movie.” Say’s Scott Lammon of Phoenix Proto. “When we originally got the request to build this particular prototype I had no idea how it would be showcased in the future.”
The program was for the GMX 511 platform better known as the 2010 Chevy Camaro. Inner Plate A-1 finish made out of black ABS thermoplastic resin, a Mid Housing A-3 finish made from Noryl resin, a Outer Retainer from a grey PC/ABS blend resin with A-1 finish and a Back Cover A-3 finish from ABS.
