Oh shit, sorry dude...then I would categorize it as a fail, in that case.

Dude, the stockers from a boneyard can't cost shit, and will do wonders for the looks (and resale) of the car.

Agreed, if the headlights are smoke then the rears should be too.

I never understood why manufacturers avoid grey/black interiors on white cars... it's the best look IMHO.

My '07 Silverado was white and had a graphite interior... I would go to dark grey if I could. I've eye'd mats, seat covers, etc but I don't want to be more "Pep Boys"...

May be worth it to put out feelers to local junk yards... You should be able to get the whole interior for $1k or so... Maybe craigslist someone for a trade...

Yea, leather seats and everything... I don't know, I think that I'd rather have the dark interior but hey maybe it's better considering where I live and the heat/sun factor.

See, I think it really looks "better" BUT I'm not crazy about the tails either. I would consider making them even darker but I kinda want them to be visible....

As far as the bug shield goes, I didn't get that for looks, I got that for function. Again, I'm not crazy about it but I'm even less crazy about the chips I've picked up already. Unless, I find some thing better, the bug shield stays...besides, I turned 45 today so it's about time I start looking older too!

I mainly just wanted to lose the clear Altezza lights that were on there. They combined the "Pep Boys" look with the stock look- double yuck!!! I want a "smooth"/non stepped tail light, smoked and led... What I'd really like is a light that mimics the look of Cadillac's leds. They look like there's a million separate lights in there. Oh and my tails sequence like those you posted... Red for tail and brake, yellow for turn signal.
