It's sweet. I think you should keep it. With all the black...why didn't you go with smoked or black tinted corners and side markers?

Clean! Those all black rims give one the impression of a cop car though. I usually like a little bit of polished or chrome to set the car off - not a big fan of the mono-chrome look.

Looks good. I would change one thing: everything is black on it except for the diamond clear rear parking lights and DRL's which stick out like sore thumbs. I'd VHT them.

Very nice but how do you get by Cali. inspection with that window tint? I'd also prefer keeping my airbag. At least the driver side

I just got a window tint ticket for the first time. I knew it was only a matter of time. Thank you guys for your input. Yes, I did lose my airbag with the momo steering wheel. I like the look of clear lenses on all black, if they were smoked I feel like there is just too much black.

We dont have an "inspection" here in Cali. Just a gruesome smog check. Smog check just needs to have all stock intake, exhaust, egr, etc, and a good working gas cap. Tint is a seperate violation under our Vehicle Code.

Clean lookin LT1. Def needs some polished lips around those wheels w/ the corners and side markers. It'll offset so much better then the straight black.

If only I could convice the GF to take a drive out to Cali...lol

I am selling it because I can no longer afford the car. I bought it for $10,000 last august and only put $1,000 down. I have pretty poor credit so my apr is high. I pay $310 a month and with gas and insurance I just can't afford it. I want to but a used 600cc motorcycle for around $4,000 if I can sell my car.
