Car looks very nice but I agree, black stripes and blacked out tail lights would compliment it even more

Yeah I had them paint the taillight bezels too.

I'm going to black out the taillights, but not totally black. You'll be able to see a little red showing through.

I actually ordered that emblem from them but once I got it I didn't care for it. Looked cheap to me.

I like the blacked out look on the tail light bezels as well but I kept the chrome as I'm trying to keep the "old school" theme of the car and I liked the way it matches that more.

Love the SS badges as well! Old badges definitely the way to go over the newer SLP style.

When you see them in person you can tell the difference, especially on the rear emblem.
