Beautiful camaro! But, I.M.O those tail lights are a bit hideous... as are those tips. That's just what I think. I think it'd look better with OEM LS1 (even better, LT1) tail lights, smoked. And as for the tips, just get some normal polished round tips and I'd say it's damn near perfect hah. It's your car so make it look how you want it to look, nice find though!

Car looks visually perfect. Don't mess it up by adding anything else. Those candy corn lights are my favorite. I had them on my '99 Hugger. How much was a car like this?

I say go for the e cutout! It will be great on your exhuast setup (assuming you have a magnaflow catback since you have magnaflow tips?) Having a cuout will give you that great sound when you need it, and a more tame sound through the chambered magnaflow when your cruising. A small power gain when it's open too. Go for it.
