heater hose mod helps, but in my experience only brought it down to even with the front, so lowering the front more would just give it a raked look.

throw on some strano's and you'll be looking good even on stock rims. drop+rims ftw though.


its all preference though, everyone's gotta make their own choices

definitely going to black out tails and turn signals, might cover the headlights, but from my experience it gets way to dim to use at night and also can be annoying to constantly take off and put on. thinking about going with solid black wheels and a lowering kit, but that only thing that worries me about lowering is my ORY and exhaust. they hang pretty low to the ground as is, I probably only have 4" of ground clearance as of right now at stock height. Also I don't think I will do the CME, i love the way it looks but I think I like my current exhaust better.

I may leave my headlights alone and just black out everything else. I do a lot of night driving so I need all the visibility I can get. How do yall think a blacked out car would look with black wheels w/ chrome lip, new z28 badges (silver), silver lettering on the rear and silver lettering in the grill? I think the silver and chrome will help break up the black a little bit like 6le said.

if it was me i wouldnt even bother with the VHT, i would just get say black clear corners where the inside back part is black cause i had my corners VHT'd and it didnt look right cause i look at it like when you look at the headlights they have depth to em and when you VHT the corners that just throws everything else off as far as lookin like it goes well together up front but the back that would be fine to VHT the tails cause they dont have no depth to em and also id get the blacked out side markers for the rear cause even from the side it looks tacky to see red side markers with clear front corners and i took and put amber bulbs in the back to break up all the red say at night when your tails are on
