Nice job. I probably would have gone with a darker charcoal color. Looks good, nonetheless.

Looks good.. but since your doing black ZR1's I think gloss black CETA may have looked better...

well im only doing black zr1's because they were cheap, i got the set of 4 with 4 tires for 400 bucks, so i figured it was better than stock, eventually im hopefully going to get chrome c6 zo6 rims but not for a while, and i didnt want to go with black because everyone with a red t/a goes with black and i wanted to keep my red/silver theme going.

Here are some pics with the tailights back on, i tinted them with VHT nightshade, i put some of the clear in a can on but it looks bad so im going to shoot them with some regular clear, i am going to be redo-ing the pass side because it ran a little bit at the top.

actually it is darker, i think its just the angle, cuz the reflectors at the bottom of the lights are tinted too and they came out really red.

Yeah, they always seem to look lighter in photos unless you get the right angle with the right lighting.
