My tastes personally is to do all stainless and chrome. For example, get some nice chrome or polished wheels, get some stainless emblems, nice black tinted windows. Whatever you can replace with stainless, do so. Lol. Clean and simple goes a LONG way.

it depends on what you are going for. Black and chrome is always going to kick ***. I like my ALL BLACK look but after 2 years i have grown tired and will be changing the rims for some chrome. I think on black cars the tail lights should be blacked out but not the reverse light part.

Black car + chrome/polished rims = the win. Tint makes it look much better too IMO.

yeah, mine looks like 98z28's sig. I have the chrome rims and it is a triple black vert. I have even done the whistler mod but I am still looking for something to really set it off... maybe some z06 rims? Anyone got any for sale?

depends on how good your paint is, id say a good wax job, buff if it needs it bad enough, then stainless emblems and some shiny wheels, along with blacked out or smoked tails, and then some lowerage

I've always thought black and chrome look pimp.
