Defintatly re-do them and the hood insert black. I do however think that *MIGHT* look good in a glossier brighter red on a red camaro. Kinda C6 vette style like someone else said.

Thanks for all the thoughts on the matter. Now - do something different/ Make yourself stand out from the crowd!!!! Oh, for the smart person with the comment in regards to red and black. BLACK matches with all colors!!!! Didn't you learn that in school?

I see nothing wrong with it. Atleast you did something different unlike all the herds or people buying them you did something completely different. Nothing wrong with that. I think it looks good myself but then again I think anything that looks different is good. And to all you nay sayers, is this your car? If he likes it boo-hoo.

Maybe a nice black with candy red in it would look better? Don't worry, I'm on like my 6th set of headlights

Red and black do match...but that color red you used looks like ***. You made it stand out alright...in a bad way. That's not the point of modifying things...you are supposed to make them stand out in a good way or improve whatever you are modifying. You went a few steps back with this one.

Not feeling the red. Maybe redo them in a charcoal grey and paint the hood scoop black.

No sir, I don't like it. But if you do, then keep it. It's your car, do it how you like.
