Default Smoked rear side lenses for a 01 T/A?
I have them for the front but have been un lucky locating any for the rear. Anyone know anyone or any place that sells smoked lenses for the rear side markers?

Are the rear ones on my car the same as the front ones on Camaros?
If so is there anyone that sells smoked lensed for Camaros that I could fit on my car?

Help a fellow F-body guy out if you can please

Do you mean the rear quarter lights? If so, ebay has smoked sets selling everyday. Just got some clear ones off ebay this week.

Yeah those are the ones. I bought some from a company saying they were smoked rear quarter lenses but they ended up being the front ones. I was pissed. I am having trouble finding some. I even bought those on Ebay and they were the only company who was selling rear smoked ones at the time for the T/A.

Those are some good pics (staringback05)

Well maybe I will just have to get my old lenses tinted then since I can't find the rear ones in a smoked lens to match my front.

What do you charge 95GreenZ28?

I ran into the same problem trying to find smoked rears. I saw the ones on ebay but I knew those wouldn't fit the rear. I think I'm going to sand the stockers nice and smooth and apply some 20% window tint.

That sounds like a plan. I was just thinking that too.

90% of this board has probably used the VHT nightshade to smoke their corners. It's very common around here.

I was checking ebay for you and I kept seeing the rear smoked they list are the firebird front and camaro rear since they are interchangeable. I found nothing on the firebird rear only so you might just want to do the vht.

Thanks for the pics. Those look good, I can't wait to do the same for mine. Will look great with my really bright LED bulbs behind them too.
