Too busy IMO. But i've always been a fan of subtlety in the looks of a car. Maybe body coloring the grill work? Powder coat it to match? Paint the bowtie to match instead? Definately dump that front SS emblem (kinda ricey). Gotta do something my friend, i just dont know what. Been in this predicament myself for some time now. Still got the stock front setup, cause i cant make up my mind.

ok for sure tomorrow im getting a price on tints, will that help some? and maybe from there i can see what i wanna do, i already have somone who is willing to trade their stock headlights for my tinted one, now maybe jsut maybe i will remove the bowtie in the front and put the ss badge there instead, now the question is, should i paint the inside of the ss badge to a red or black?

not really a fan of blacked out headlights. And im not a fan of the SS badge stuck randomly on the grill divider. Sorry. Just too much going on at once in a small area in my opinion.

yeah i started to take off the tints on the headlights, a little bit of thinner works fine on there and it doesnt eat away at the plastic

alright guys the tint is completly off, i like it better all chrome the front, but i may do a custom eyelid on the headlights, jsut maybe

the grille is awesome, i'd replace the chevy badge with the ss emblem. i like the look of the lights, but seems out of place with the red. might be cool if u painted the white part of the ss black to give the lights something to match with.
