looks great except for the wheel choice... odd that you chose that style wheel to put on there.

Car looks good! I'm wondering if some of the black housing corners would be a bit better? What was painted with the VHT? Those wheels wouldn't be my first choice, but perhaps they look better than stock salad shooters. I like it overall, it's very subtle and clean.

Yeah I got the wheels and tires off a member here for $350. I actually always liked them, but would rather have some Z06s or TT2s. The tail lights are tinted with VHT, just not really dark. I did not tint the reverse lights. If you look at it closley you will see what Im talking about.

Ahh now I see it, I can't believe I missed it the first time. Have you polished the VHT out yet? I saw tremendous results after I used the Turtle Wax polishing compound on mine. I was considering taking them off they were so dull. I polished them and now I wax the lights every time. I have 3 coats of clear on mine, so I went right at it. Just a suggestion.

Nah, didnt get around to waxing the car yet, I had to be at work. I plan on waxing them along with the rest of the car. What about some headlight restorer, think that might work wonders? They arent really that dull right now, but they could look better.

The car is looking good. The wheels actually go well with the color of the car IMHO.

If you put enough coats of clear on, don't hesitate to use a slight abrasive on them. Just like wet sanding a new paint job. The headlight restorer works great on plastics, but now they are a painted surface not bare plastic. Just my suggestion. I really wish I took some pics of mine before I polished them, but here is an after. Once again, your car looks great.
