Amazing shape, and I love the subtle stripe. I think it is the only hockey stripe setup I've liked.

Respectfully, it's too much wheel for me, and I'd lose the vette flags on the sails. Since you have clear front markers I'd plop clear side markers on as well.

And since tail lamps are so cheap, have you thought about blacking out a set or maybe blackout leaving the reverse lights? Basically just keep the contrast theme going. It's hard to get a good pic of because of the contrast but this is what I mean:



Lights swap out easy and you could try it for like $60, total.

Doing that you'd have straight black/white/chrome them going and it'd look nasty.

It looks insane, I love the wheels, very original, they will be that much better when you get them painted.

the rebels did look great on the car, but i didn't want to wait for another couple months for the black ones before they stopped being on back order, once the wheels get painted they'll look great . as for the theme of the car i'm going to be keeping the clean retro look, adding the whistler headlight mod, changing out the taillights for the 93-96 style tails, nightshading the rear bumper lights, and painting the wheels to match the stripe. alot of that should happen in the next couple months as i can afford to do them.

If you make the centers match the stripes, then it will look amazing. Hurry up and do it and post pics!
