4th Gen Pontiac guys inside please.... Just gauging interest on a possible new accessory....
How many of you would be interested in getting a 1-piece taillight blackout assembly for your T/A, Formula or Bird?
A single blackout that covers both taillights as well as the center filler (that's right, you won't be able to use the key)
I think it's much cleaner and looks more like a factory piece than the blackouts that are available right now....
Anyhoo, lemme know what you guys think....

There is not much for us pontiac guys out there at all, I want to get blackouts. i have a CE it goes with the theme. And since that car is yellow its not looking all that bad. What kinda prices would we be talking? I dig it.

You're going to be miles ahead if you develop a second prototype mold that includes a keyhole. Power trunk latches were not standard equipment on all Firebirds, so the guys that don't have this option are automatically eliminated as potential customers. That's a significant portion of the market share.
I think you're definitely onto something here though.

Aside from that, part of what makes an aftermarket item have value is the fact that all the footwork/engineering to make whatever application it's being used on look/perform better has already been done. People want something that is ready to be used straight out of the box.

I love the way my taillights look too, the honeycomb is just awesome IMO but I would be willing to try them if the price was right.
Would the filler panel part of the blackout be completely opaque plastic that would be better if it is , because I want to try blacking out my car but I dont want to take my decals off the filler
