Default RICE or BLING, EG Need Your Expert Rice Opinion......pics inside

Did a couple enhancement mods lately, let me know what you think??? (hadn't been washed in a couple days...I know I know....) Rice or Bling or just right??........EG, need your expert opinion as well.....
.....lights and screens so far.




Looks brighter from the front if you ask me.

From the side you can't even tell the bright yellow lights are on.

So......what's the verdict??

I think they are ok, but now you have to get rid off the yellow lights and get some titanium bulbs or spray yours silver.

I thought about that, but I like them bright orange/yellow, I've seen the white/blue bulbs for the daytime runners and they just don't stand out as much I think.

The blue/white bulbs definately look better on the silver or white or blue painted vettes.

Whats with the mesh under the corner lights? Are your corners just sitting down all the way? or is that the screen coming up too far?

I'm confused??

Compare mine to the blue vette pics, they are the exact same.
The screen under is the brake duct screen.

If you mean that little lip looking part with the light housing, it's not mesh at all, just the way they are made. You can only see that due to the extreme close up pics I took. They are properly installed I promise.
