To be totally honest with you, I completely hate the all black wheel trend. Therefore I thank you for getting the chrome lip because it looks awesome on your car. Definately one of my favorite LT1's on this site.

I told him the same thing. with limo tint all the way around. it will look pimp. I also said he should lower it. but his headers is going to make it hard for him to do that.
