that looks great. The manta and the rims go well with the black top and tint. I think you should do it.

I don't like ALL black rims but, with the chrome lip and your color scheme it looks good. I love the manta. It'll be a hot ride!

In light of the thread in this forum regarding opinions - I'm gonna say don't waste your time, ditch the friggen' camaro and buy a real man's car - TRANS AM

Seriously though, looks good - you might want to think of adding a small outline or accent stripe on the black manta in Red to add a tiny splash of color and coordinate with the red calipers.

Black, Red, Silver are great combo of complimentary colors. That's the color scheme I used thru out on my Black WS6.

I usually don't like black corners at all, but with the black on the wheels and black manta, it seems to tie everything together. I like it all.

If i did this i would probably want to get smoked taillights to kind of complete the theme. I have heard some about painting them, does anyone know if that is a good route to go, or just buy the covers? The only reason i wouldn't like to get covers is they get stolen, i had some on my 1991 RS i used to have, and i had 2 pairs stolen.

I've heard about covers causing more problems than they are worth. I would just leave them alone. Nothing wrong with a red taillight, it's legal when it's red
