I think blacking out all the chrome will really look nice with the red.

Yeah, some black ones would look nice. Over on ls1tech.com in the ls4 section a guy has a red SS with black projectors, wheels, and emblems. It is sexy! His name is "monte with a ls4" or something similar.

I have no experience with the projectors. I have heard that they are cheaply made.
I have the depo black headlights. I really like them.

Here is my car with the black bowtie and then the black SS.
I have been debating about switching back to the bowtie just to mix it up.
Anyways, rickakated, you can see how Mr.Burns will look.

I would say go with the depot lights and do black overlays on the "ss" and bowwtie, ditch the monte carlo letters like i did and do black rims or something, you've checked out montewithanls4 car on ls1tech so, don't copy but i think his the best looking non black monte i've ever seen...

Please forgive the spelling and grammatical errors im posting this from my rooted nook color and touch screen keyboards make me crazy
