Exactly. If the customer is happy, I am happy.

Very nice job, and huge improvement. Car really stands out now.

My self I would not have added the lettering on the mirrors hood or top. I do like the designs on both.

That said, its still fantastic looking.

Mods:

-Powder coated wheels
-Showstopper Stingray LED turn signal mirrors (carbon flash metallic)
-Showstopper ZR51 series spoiler (carbon flash metallic)
-Tinted tail lights
-Tinted side markers
-Custom painted stinger hood stripe
-Custom painted roof panel with jake logo

Before shots:







After shots:







All that work and they leave the UGLY Front License Plate Holder on the Car?

At least Modify the Aero Plate to mount the License Plate so it fits inside the Grill, geez.

Yes, the Two Plate States suck.

Default LED Mirrors

How difficult is the LED mirror installation?

It is not that bad. If you have done any auto wiring in the past, you can definitely handle it.

Any larger pics of the roof?

I put Jake on my hood:


I think I might pull it though - more dramatic than I wanted.

But nicely done and obviously it has it's fans. Might be an age thing.

And they did change out the wheels going with black or am I missing something?
