Thanks for your comments

But get behind one at night...looks mean, if not evil... Changed my opinion.
Took a long time for the C7 tail lights to grow on me but now I like them !

I think it looks great! Nice work! Ignore the C7 tail light haters. Those dusty old f**ks are still pissed off that they no longer have a rotary dial phone.

I admire your drive to get a project YOU wanted completed.
