Z-Man what wheels do you have?
Are they bolt on or did you need spacers?
How about the tire size too.
Thanks.
Those look like the cp-200s. I love those wheels. They look like a 17 to me. They also go under code names of coke bottles and daisys.

The question is, what would YOU do with them? You're the one who has to be happy with it. If you're looking for originality, go back to $tock. If you're looking for individuality/uniqueness, keep it the existing setup.

Assuming the headlights work fine, just do the grille. Properly done it's lighter than stock & looks fine.
The rule is If it won't go faster, leave it.
Works for me.

If done right it will look pretty good. One thing though: Check your local laws regarding lighting. Some places have regulations on how far down driving lights can be. These laws are why we have popup lights in the first place.

Re: Is this UGLY? (wackedvette)
I think since the rest of the car is modified I would leave it. If your going to go through the trouble of putting the lights back to stock then you might as well do the whole car back to stock. I usually don't like modded bodies but I don't think yours looks bad. Just remember its your car. I would paint it black :cool: . :cool:
