I like the way they both look. I guess it all has to do with the owner of the car. If you like the way it looks on your car, then dont worry about what anyone else thinks. Our cars are to the point where they are cool no matter what, and it is the owner that makes the car unique. I would do it just to go the extra length in being diffrent. I would also do the c1500 headlight conversion and stick some hyperwhite blubs in there, then clear markers on the sides, oh and clear bulbs in the turning signal, as opposed to the standard amber. If you do all that on the color blue your talking about ( basically any blue besides baby blue), it will look sweat! Of course thats my opinion. Im doing that in about a year. Good luck and let me know if you do it, how it looks. Later.

I think the mufflers need to have a level taken to them first

actually the mufflers are level but arent spaced evenly, but of well i took off my system and now its being sold on the net to a guy, so i dont really care, because i also made them even, but now im gonna run a custom X-pipe and race bullets, to crome tips and size exits and 4th gen tips.
