Default Whistler mod? Yes or No?
Not sure if the car would look good with the whistler mod or not. It looks great on some colors but not sure if it would fit in on mine. What do you guys think?

Here's a pic of the car now all of the badging and wheels are polished stainless/chrome...

Yeah, the theme is shiny and black... What I mean is the windows are tinted 5% the hardtop is black, the tails are VHT'd black and the grill is black but the wheels will be chrome, the SS emblems are polished stainless and the rear camaro inserts are Stainless polished so I'm on the fence...

Camaro lights should have come in black from the factory.

Well I'm not worried about actually doing it. Seems easy as hell. I'm just worried about how it'll look with the rest of the car...

The more I think about it I feel uneasy about doing it. I just don't think I'll be happy with the way it looks in the end. And I'll ruin a perfectly good set of lights in the process lol...
