I like everything in the after except the rear diffuser, not my taste. But great looking car though.

Both the before and after look good to me. But I like the after results better.
Looks good.

I like the before your Vette really stood out and had some pop to it.

God, that looks so much better...big chrome wheels on a supercar like that just looks ghetto.

Beautiful car either way but I also would have kept the original wheels.

Before. I'm not a fan of black wheels though. Diffuser looks too aftermarket to me. It doesn't look like it fits right.

Sorry, I've never cared for the blacked-out look whether it applies to wheels or lights (side markers in this case). I'm also not fond of add-ons that scream "Aftermarket!" which is what the diffuser does. Not trying to be a jerk, just giving honest feedback.

When I was thirty, I would have drooled over your "after", but now that I am in my forties I prefer the "before" look. Either way, it looks really good and now fits your taste, which is what matters. I wouldn't turn it down if you offered ot give it to me in its current configuration.

For me I like before because I don't really like black rims. Not a huge chrome fan either but those look really nice. I personally like the stock diffuser but all that matters is that you like it not us.

Agree. The black look great on a gray car, but the chrome really popped.
