Default Maybe some Bling

Got some extra Bonus money to speed on stuff I would'nt normally. Looking for those $400.00 Tallamp Louvers, side Marker Louvers, and matching License frame. I've checked the catalogs from Ecklers, Mid America, Zip, can't tell much from the pics. So I know some of you have these or have seen these and can give me some insight on who has the Best. I want them in Metal and Chrome. Thanks.

Just 'cause it's in the catalog, doesn't mean.... you know the rest.

It's your car do WHAT you want. I bought the Phantom set from Ecklers. I know they have chrome and Billett Aluminium. I like the look but what the hell......its my car.

I've bought a lot of the stuff you mention on ebay. You can usually find the same stuff in the catalogs for a lot cheaper.
I have a yellow 2004 vert and I've put on chrome tail light louvers, chrome license plate frame, chrome letters in the rear bumper and a light fixture that has 9 red led's that hangs just above the exhaust plate in the back- all from ebay.

Go for the bling!!!

It's your car so if you like chrome, then go for it. I haven't seen too many with all the chrome accessories that you mention on the car though.

All good feedback, Thanks, it's that I had this extra money and thought I'd buy something stupid. I'm going for the complete Exhaust system, Headers, X pipe and cat backs, now give me some input on this one?? Thanks.
