Thanks guys... As my Avatar "location" states, I'm from Highland, IN.

The tips are 4" Magnaflow 35124. I bought them on ebay for $30 (Best Offer) each from Performance Peddler.

I definitely appreciate all the positive feedback. The car has been getting a lot of looks after getting the tint and exhaust done.

Everything looks great. I love your wheel choice even more with your tinted windows. X2 on the tips.

Nice, lose the bowties though, especially on the trunk. Replacing the front bowtie with an SS badge would be sweet as hell

Looking good! I'd lose the gold bowties, totally remove the one from the trunk and get a nice looking silver metallic bow tie to replace the one on the front bumper. Next up get it lowered with a set of springs.

Thanks. The tint and SS overlay's really complimented the wheels perfectly in my opinion.

Thanks. Honestly, I don't want to black out the tail lights. NiteShades can some times cheapen the look of a car depending upon application. I had it on my old car, and I don't want to do everything the sale. I'm going to leave them stock. If anything, replace them with the red LED tails.

Actually, no, I stuck with Mr. Tintz in Hammond on the Indianapolis Blvd. I've had a lot of good experiences with them so I decided to stick with what I was familiar with. Thanks!

The SS badges are definitely in the plan book. I personally don't mind the bow ties though. It's Chevrolet heritage. They'll be gone eventually though! lol It's in a stage right now though and will eventually go onto another one.

Thanks! As I said above, I like how Mr. Burns sits right now. In time he'll move onto a different stage. I definitely will not be lowering the car though. It looks great and everything, and I would love to do it, but I had my old car lowered and hate how it drove after that. Rode like ****. Stock ride height isn't bad. Thanks for the tip though.
