Awesome.
Jennifer Lopez ain't got nothin' on you.
Seriously though, this is one of the best "straight up wide booty" conversions I have seen to date. Nice job.
Are you planning on doing the front too?

Looks great! What I find interesting about your pics is that on your car the rear side marker reflectors, which I usually find detract from the flow of the car and clash with the color scheme, actually accentuate your motif. My next vette may be a black one!

Thanks for the response guys 
I've been debating about tinting the sidemarkers. I like the way it works in with the red calipers though, so we will see.
The car is slightly lowered on stock bolts, no clearance issues, would like it lower but I dont want any problems.
And I would love to do 20% all around, however, any tint what so ever on the passenger and driver side windows is illegal here in NJ. I had tinted my old car anyway, with not too much hassle. However, I've got AR Headers and Bullets, so it's hard sneak around the cops without them hearing me or looking. But we will see, if i do tint it will probably be closer to 40%
As for the front end. I'm waiting to see how much the fiberglass front end kit will cost when it becomes available. As for now, i'm perfectly happy with where the car is. I might do some small stuff like black mesh for the vents, but other than stuff like that, I'm not going to be spending an major dollars on the car for awhile.
Thanks again
