Or not. Those flames are overkill and those wheels..ugh don't even get me started.

Just my opinion though.

Damn, I STILL haven't had a chance to take some better quality pictures... Believe it or not, I really am that busy. I haven't forgotten yet though!

I don't like it. Especially that car that "everything looks good" I guess I prefer a more subtle aproach. Props for trying it, and it looks as if many people like it.

I think I have to disagree here, I don't like it.

With the lack of the grill up front and body matching headlights, the front of the car looks really washed out. Like an LT1 camaro without black under the headlights...like a girl without mascara. I think painting the housings black and adding a black SLP grill up front would make it really stand out a lot more.

This is mine:

I don't know if anyone noticed, but procarparts is now selling LS1 style headlights that have been "whistler modified" for lack of a better description, they paint them.

I would agree with the dark grey accents on the grill and headlights for my car if I had any other dark accents on the car (besides the black roof). My polished wheels should go great with the polished grille though.

Once upon a time, I was thinking about doing gunmetal ZR1s with gunmetal headlights and accents but then I found a deal on my polished ZR1s and haven't looked back since. I'll take more pictures as soon as I can get the car cleaned up, it's filthy from a business trip last week.
