Wow. I like the idea of LED lights but god the way it's done makes the car look even older than it is. At least it doesn't have a **** poor V8 swap in it

The tail lights are pure ****. Look really closely at them, I dont think he even measured a damn thing. The gap between the middle and outer lights are different and the gap between the outer lights and the bumper are different. Maybe its just an optical illusion or the way the picture makes it look.... but I could do a better job laying that out with a bottle of crown royal and a sharpie.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

Lights are from a tractor trailer type deal... I thought about using something similar... BUT have them behind the stock plastic... mainly I just want brighter tails and stop lights.

Well then, is that a volunteer stepping up to go by and kick this guy in the head for us all?
Seriously, I won't knock another man's work like that - he probably thinks he did a fantastic job and some would agree. This is definitely not my taste, but in all honesty I probably couldn't replicate it and have it look that nice if I tried!

To each his own!

Why must everything have Corvette tail lights? It's pretty nice work, but come on! Also, take at that nastyness in picture #23. Theres some horrible stuff going on where the driver's door meets that quarter panel. In my experiance, this kind of stuff is always way worse than it looks in pictures and the picture looks pretty bad.

83rx7boy92 you said you live 25 miles away from guys right?
i think you need to make a road trip to his house and just give him one good back hand and then get back in your car and go back home, no explenations and no questions.
