I think the rear looks really good on that one. If you like it too then go for it.

Bezels good, the rest is not for me.
I'm amazed at how many people cannot align exhaust tips. They can be a pain, but certainly not impossible.

Those are both very popular mods. The rear valance is really easy whether you paint it yourself or put on an overlay from a supporting vendor.

There are many threads about the bezels. Read them. Good advice on how to do it without getting glue all over, and how to clean it up if you do.

I think it looks best on yellow more than any other color. The darker colors don't contrast as well and red...well, I think red vettes should just be left alone. They're perfect the way the are!
