It completely depends on what you like. For instance, I'm blacking the bowtie next week (the black car/silver wheels/GOLD bowtie combo doesn't make sense to me) but leaving everything else for contrast. WE can't tell YOU what you think looks good.

But post some pix when you're done!

Yes. There's a really good DIY of taking care of the tail light rings.

I also agree, you have to decide what makes the car yours...

Is the lack of chrome trim around your tail lights due to being a 1SS instead of a 2SS, or did you remove the trim? On the orange cars, I prefer the look without the light trim.

Hi it is a 2ss car and yes i removed the trim around the tail lights. I found it on Hylton car as i think he did his first, To all of us this car looks good with almost any change that you do to it, Try to find things you like and make it your's, Its a lot of fun with out a lot of cost.
