Looks a hell of a lot better now. I'd just say to paint match the door handles.

I usually hate painted stock wheels, but that paint looks good, kinda has a fade effect. Nice. Next mod: ram air hood. end of story.

yeah, I think the sidemarkers stand out too much, but I dig the wheel color. looks like satin black chrome.

It's cool. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm liking the tint so far...only finished a few hours ago. Maybe I'll change my mind...Who knows.

Also...I definitely want a WS6 hood and some nice tint. Then I will be done with appearance mods for a while...maybe. lol.

These are the best corner lights for LT1's. A smoke lens rather than a VHT'd stock lens. Here's my old 97

Mine was cheaper and looks almost as good. So IMO mine is better. I don't have 40 dollars or however much you spent for smoked signals. I'm not trying to be a dick....I'm just stating why I chose the route I did. I looked into buying them but when I can spend 2 hours of my time and 10 dollars I'm going to do that. Especially since it makes you feel like you accomplished something every time you look at it.

Wow, that thing looks mean now. Thats actually one of my fav. wheel/tire combos Ive seen in a long time, nice departure from the larger wheels most people run. I think they give the car more of a "classic" muscle look.
