I think his pipes are good.. However, I do agree with your comment (..those pipes just don't go with the car). He has chrome pipes on an otherwise non-chrome car.. I think if he tucked those pipes a little bit more under the rear bumper, it would better.. Also, to help "blend" those pipes a bit better into the overall look of the car, he could get them ceramic coated black.

*Ceramic coating and powder coating are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT types of coatings. Do not powder coat your exhaust tips. I've done that a few times and each time, within 6 months, the coatings start to fade and end up looking like crap. Ceramic coating is MUCH more durable and they are able to withstand MUCH higher temps (mine are good up to 2000 degrees F).

Camaros run pipes, Firebirds run quads/ovals They look great though! CE bumper and blacked tails are very nice! You should send me a high res straight on back end shot for me to work my CME mod into. I haven't done it on a High Rise spoiler or T/A bumper. Might not turn out good but I'd like to try I agree on blacking the cans out though if he'd like to keep them for the sound.

Are those black rims on the Aqua stock Firebird 5-spoke powdered or are they black C5 rims?

LOL, one has the aggressive hood, and one has the aggressive spoiler. They complete each other, it's like Ying and Yang.
