I like that they're different. I would not like them on my car, but that is because I am going for a different look than what you may have chosen. They're not that bad at all. I think the red also looks fine, but the panel bird overdoes it, IMHO. The rest of the red isn't bad. I've seen tons of other Fbodies that are black with red accents. It's all about balance and having just the right amount. Overall, though, I think it looks pretty good! And if other people don't like it, tell them to get up off your nuts and let you be happy That's all that matters in the end; are you happy with it?

They aren't so bad. If I were you, spend a couple hundred to get the rears widened an inch or so, then put some wider tires out back, lower the car and I'm sure people would have a different opinion about it.

You might be surprised at how different it would look by removing the red accents. Even the red brake calipers going away would make a significant difference in the car. Someone here could Photoshop that up for you.

At least the Corvette FRC's will bump the horsepower up.....

Thanks for sharing.

Different doesn't always mean better. I personally like the red accents, I just think they need to be re-done as the ones on the side are starting to look a little pink but maybe thats just my ghetto computer.

Are you a few rows down from Alamo? Saw the car yesterday and IMO you need to loose some of the red. There is way too much of it. Besides that th wheels are ok if you like em

Hey dude, bottom line is that if you are happy with it, then all is good! The mods that you have made, make it your ride.

BTW, wheels do look good. Can't complain about the "edginess" of them... I mean, ever seen Zo6 wheels?

As for accents... I'm a truck guy.... we shave and de-badge everything. If I had it my way, my truck would be black from the belt-line down... only exception being the wheels.... tinted lights, shaved bowtie, shaved turn signals. Adding more color is just something I don't do. But I can appreciate the style. If it were mine... it'd be red calipers, red "Trans Ams" and no birds, no red vents/grills. But it's not mine.
