The ride looks good. I would recommend you get the black corner to set off the headlights. Also some white rear fill ins or stainless steel fill ins would look good and set off the berger.

Already did black ZR1s a few years ago. I liked them at first, but it got old after a while. I think the right stance is imperative for black wheels. I'm waiting for the drop until I get my 12 bolt/9 inch. For now I like the shiney polished ones





Tint will come sooner or later. My son's carseat gets too hot for him in the back.

No big deal...different strokes. Black wheels were hard to keep looking like in those pictures. Drive through a tiny little rain shower, and everything looks like crap - wheels are brown and tire shine is gone.

I like the current version of your car better than the black wheel/stock headlight combo.

You should call your car the "Storm Trooper" edition....has the same theme of white and black like the Storm Troopers in Star Wars.

Nice car! I have to ask though, is it really an SS? The wheels look like they are aftermarket. Nice car non the less.

+3 on the clear (or at least smoked) corners. The orange just looks soooo out of place.

Yes it's an SS, and yes the wheels are aftermarket. You asked that question like those two statements are mutually exclusive
