thanks alot for the great comments guys. i really appreciate them. i love the wheels, they are 19s. the gauges are reverse glo gauges but i cut them to fit into the bezel. the mesh behind the grille is actually gutter guard from lowes. i cut it into circles and pushed it into the foam behind the bumpers. its stuck pretty good and looks good. i have considered painting them black.

what 02gtp4now posted up is exactly what i had in mind. i would tint the taillights exactly like that, maybe a lil bit darker. but i still would do flat black. and stainless steel camaro inserts.

I always see your car in your signature but now that I see full pics it looks even better. I would do a gloss black manta and berger and stainless fill ins and call it a day.

Not a fan of the halos or those white gauges (there are better ones out there), none-the-less the car looks very good. I think the flat black manta stripe will look good if you decide to do it.

^^^ yea i love the rims. i get so many compliments for them. i only wish they were wider. i was thinkin about widening them out to 11 and putting some 305s or 315s on the rear. but then i looked at prices for tires that size and it was like $300 a tire, so the hell with that. maybe when i get a lil bit more money.

your car is badass, i think the rear end looks awesome as it is, but tinting the taillights would look good. do the flat black manta not the berger panel
