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.

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.
Im envious of your CMEEDIT: After really looking at that pic, I can tell you were at an intersection by the reflection in your taillights. Very nice
