Car looks very nice. Personally I'd remove the C5 logo on the taillights and black them out to match the front.

I'm pretty much with the rest here.... you haven't overdone it at all. I've seen plenty with 10x more chrome on here. Blackouts would be great, I love the look and am biased, haha. I suggest you actually tint the lights however instead of getting the blackout covers. Actually tinting the lights looks 100x better, much cleaner, less cheesy IMHO. I had the covers, and removed them and had all the lights tinted.

No way it looks good and not overdone!
I've never felt one could have too much chrome
Very tastefully done - Do the BLACK-OUTS you'll love the way it looks
Thanks,Matt

Definitly not overkill 
I think the car looks great.
I have this thing about logo's though maybe it comes from the vast aftermarket we enjoy with the vette, but it seems you can get just about anything, with a vette logo on it. So I often see pics of a car, and I count the logo's, if I can see any more than two from any direction, it sometimes looks like too much.
But thats not what Im talking about here, I think the car looks good.

Blackouts in front, chrome in rear??? They both look good but I would pick one and go with it. Once you have chosen, I don't think there is a such thing as too much of either. You have a great looking car!
