Rear end idea
So heres my car now: (Its completely stock rear end)
And heres what I think I want to do: (About a 45% tint on taillights and reverse but tape around the clear part, and paint the chevy logo blue and SS logo blue. Also paint all "SS" logos throughout the car blue but this one in particular)
Sloppy photoshop, didn't take much time just did quick to get the right idea across. I don't want dark dark taillights so only 1-2 coats I will do. I don't think completely black would look good on the silver. Also to get an idea I'm tinting my windows to 35% front and debating between 20% and 5% for the rear window. I think a shades of darker blue would look better on the SS and chevy logo probably too. Looking for opinions, Good or Bad!
EDIT: Darker blue logos

If your gonna tint the tail lights and the windows I would go with a flat black with the chrome edging still showing. That blue makes it look like a girls car.

i think you should remove the cobalt ss and the turbocharged or supercharged logo (whatever it is i cant remember) then remove your rear wing and get a shorty antenna.

The wing looks good with the factory bodykit.
Cut stock antenna looks nice and is cheap.
I'm not a big fan of badges, I think I pulled everything except for the supercharged one. Tinted tails look good on a silver car, the darker the better, but it can get you in trouble.

Haha. I'm keeping the wing I also like it. I got the silver turbo wheels and am enjoying those. Although I got the stock rims which are black mounted on winter wheels. I would only debadge the chevy logo. I also like the SS logos and supercharged. Why make it look like its not?
Mines debadged, but im keeping the high rise. And Im going to do bronze wheels. **** looking like everyone else
