I have a good bling idea OPINIONS PLEASE
IM thinking of getting black out covers , i dont know the exact size measuments yet but, if i drill a three inch hole and two smaller ones in them for the blinker and brake lite and running lite and having them painted to match my car , pewter, also i am thnking about doing it to the hi and lo beams in the front but i think it will ubstruct the lights in the front, has anyone tried this, anyone interested let me know and after its done ill post pics.
also let me know if you think it sounds ricey, but i think it will smooth out the back of the car nice!

Blackouts aren't the epitome of rice, but slotted covers like Pissed is talking about sure is. Don't do it for the sake of everything that is domestic. Either slap some blackouts or leave em plain.

And then later you say you have a set of blackouts in your garage.
Anyway, I agree with what was said earlier. Either blackouts or not, but not with anything cut out of them.

IMHO Shaded covers are "OK" as long as they aren't too dark, but opaque? (!)
I guess as long as you have enough intelligence to take them OFF while driving, then go for it!
(Remember those lamps are that BIG AND BRIGHT for a rather obvious reason!)
BTW, Isn't that "bling" thing only good for "urban minorities" with "pimpmobiles"?

ive learned to embrace the concept of "bling" but i try and use it only for good.. not evil..
Example.. 18" full polished HRE wheels = good bling 26" spinners on your hummer = bad bling
Oh, back to topic -- i would think that would not let enough light out, would get you hassled by "the man" and if you got in an accident i could see you having more liablilty since the other driver may not have been able to see your turnsignals or brake lights..
There are also melting problems associated with the increased heat generated by the blackouts..

everytime this comes up i don't understand it. i have blackouts front and back, pretty much always have and i love the way the car looks with them on. how are they rice??
i've had them on the car pretty much the entire time i've owned it, almost 6 years and no heat issues or whatever..but i do have a friend who's tal light has an indentation melted into it from the heat being trapped by the blackouts.
so i guess my junk is rice then.
