Default Rear End Apperance: Did I do the right thing?

Okay just looking for some opinions. I loved the old setup on my Z... did a few changed just want to know which one everyone likes more


Before Shot


After Shot


only other thing I plan on doing is VHT (nightshading) the rear LED light on the new spoiler. What do ya'll think?

Thinking about putting some flanges on there so I can do some quick release under-the-axel tips with the old chomed Z tips. Thats why I wasnt so concerned that they werent totally straight. Besides.. they tuck so far back you barely see them anyway.

Thanks for the opinions so far guys.

Put the stock lights back on, or remove the covers firstly. Don't VHT that light, it will look bad. The thing about black cars is that "less is more". In my opinion your going overboard with the black, and ruining the clean look of the car. You took a step in the right direction with the spoiler, for that I applaud. Just go back to stock on the lights, and don't vht the third brake light.

I say just try to rotate the drivers side tip to match the passenger side, then paint them both flat black to hide them a little more, and I think it will look good...nothing bugs me more on my own cars than uneven exhaust parts.

After shot looks much better, but the turndowns look really low.
