What are you talking about? Powder coated rims and a professionally painted CETA outclasses a shitty rattle can tint job any day of the week. No one is saying that blacking out his lights would look bad, but the quality of VHT is a bad choice. If you honestly think VHT is "okay" then you must not care much about the quality of your car. How can you even compare VHT to a professional paint job?

The fog lights in there are the same size as the stockers and about 15 times brighter.

I have seasonal rims. My stock 01 ws6 rims for winter then black z06s for spring to mid fall. I can't decide on if I wanna sell my winter rims and tires cause they go for some $$ on ebay.

Get some clear side markers and a chrome steel overlay for the front bird! Oh, and a re-tint. I thought it was legal to go any % on the rear glass?

Nope.. http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/AL/

And in IL it's illegal to put any tint on the side windows..

Yep. I don't care though. Only time I ever got bothered with my side tint was when I got my first and only ticket on an highway. State cops are not very nice to sports cars when they speed. Got a warning and kept the tint. Local cops don't mess with me. Knock on wood. Spend a couple bucks and get some dark side and rear tint. If you get a warning then rip it off. If your like me and don't care either way, leave it on.

Shave those side marker lights!! That really cleans up the looks of our F-bodies...even more so since yours is white! Plus it's cheap and easy to do it yourself! Swat

I gotta second the suggestion of some better rims, the torque thrust are way played out, I put the bogarts rt's on my car and it was a night and day difference on the way people reacted to the car.
