That looks great. I carbon fiber wrapped my targa top & mirrors. Now I'm thinking of doing the same to the rear. It's a good look.

You were the inspiration for me doing the same to my C5. Mine is done in a carbon fiber to match my roof & mirrors.

Looks very nice! Another mod to check out is the LED Halo taillights from Radioflyer or JW Motorsports. When you see the lights in your hand then look at the factory ones you will be glad you spent the money. Cant express enough about the quality and finish from Radioflyer.

I purchased my four waterproof red 8" light strips from eBay and a roll of 3M auto mobile two sided adhesive. Put the light strips on the tape then install on the top side of all four vents and wire them into your running lights. Wha La about $25.00 that's because the tape is about $20.00 Just wanted to share what I've did. I don't know how to post pictures or I would.

You could certainly do that. But I don't have that expertise, what with all the prep that has to go into painting. Easier for me to wrap...plus it's not permanent.
