Too wh0red-up?
My wife likes these tail-light louvers but I'm not crazy about them. I think it looks a little over the top. What do you think? Please tell me your honest thoughts.

I've seen a few cars where they worked with the rest of the mods done on the car. But, overall; I'm not a fan of those whether they be chrome or body colored. They typically do appear a little "over the top" in my opinion.

I have those myself, so I'm a little biased and love them. So what if it's a little extra bling. It's a vette, it's supposed to be over the top, to an extent of course. Between that, the SS letters, and the Borla exhaust, that's enough bling for the back of Maggie.

Not a bad product, I guess. But they don't offer enough contrast to the silver paint. Looks out of place.
My girlfriend loves EXCESS. She wants a 98 Pace Car Edition because of all the graphics. And I'm sure she'll add those tail light covers lol

Ha! Good point! It's MY car and I'm in agreement with the consensus here. I'm glad I did not screw them in. I'll take them to tonight's "White Elephant" Corvette club CHRISTmas party. Someone there will love them and they'll ride-with-pride!

Go LED's and forget that stuff UNLESS you use those stick-on 3 fake vents on each front fender, they must add a lot of class to whatever vehicle they are on.
