I'm not usually a fan of blackouts but they for some reason work better on your car! Keep it how it is!

I think it would look better w/o the blacked out lights. Especially the front.

the car looks good to me.

Keep it the way it is.....Polish up the exhaust and that will add some contrast you're looking for.

Thanks for the all the compliments, I decided to stay all black. Just going to order some new tips and do something custom.
I agree with you mrws6speed, i need more shine from the exhaust. BTW nice line up for cars. Now your a Die hard Firebird fan
