A majority here will say it's tacky. But it's your car, so I say go for it if you like it.

Tacky... and, illegal in most places if activated on any public road.

Who cares if it is a "...TROLL THREAD?" Someone might look at it and benefit, anyway... YOU looked at it.

I had a friend with a C7 convertible that put LED's in every opening and crevasse of the car. It was professionally installed and totally screwed up his entire electrical system.

Would be awesome! I actually ordered them and found out you need them custom made to fit our wheels. They don’t mount centered, even the larger rings which is what I ordered. Key to looking good is not seeing anything when there off, would be great for car shows but not driving around.
