WHY!!?!?!?

I don't like the look of the stock ones because I have clear corners and clear side markers, all that red isn't doing the car any justice. Blackouts aren't really an option as I feel it clashes with the clear corners and clear side markers. I've seen all the altezza's made for camaro's and none of them really excite me.

DOESNT ANYONE OUT THERE MAKE ANY AFTERMARKET TAILLIGHTS THAT LOOK ANY GOOD??!?!

They should've put cooler looking taillights from the factory in the first place (IMO)

I actually love the factory tail lights. I have a black on pewter car (black hood and rear fascia) and I don't mind the red.

I HATE the altezzas. I don't even think that the designers of them actually looked at the car when they made them. They probably had never even seen a Camaro. They are just a bunch of circles on cheap shiny crap.

Have you ever looked at the European tail lights before? They are different looking and unique, though still nothing that special.

They do make decent looking taillights. They just happen to be the stock ones.
