Default Pics of my tail panel

I want opinions guys. I still have my stock white tail panel so I can switch back if I get too many disses on it or anything like that.

After I got my black fill-ins:


Black tail panel, blackouts, tinted windows:


Give me your honest opinions everybody, I really like the way it looks, but I want to know what everyone else thinks. Also, what are your guys' opinions on what I have done to my car? I am talking about my black theme I gave my car. Black wheels, tinted windows, blackouts, suspension pieces, tail panel.. How does everyone really feel about my car? Did I turn my car too "teenaged"? lol

I think it looks good. The only thing I don't like is the tail light covers aren't good for your car. They get hot underneath and warp the tail lights. I had a set on my V6 and the tail lights warped, both of them. I then couldn't take the covers off because it looked funny with the dented tail lights so I left them on till I sold the car.. Otherwise it does look good. Reminds me of a Cop car..

Some polished inserts from MBA would finish it off quite nicely ($59)

I too love the black pannels....looks good on the car. I do also agree with Mark, some polished inserts would be bad *** . All in all I like what you've done with the car. And nice license plate frame

I like what you have done. The white with orange stripes brings in some Camaro hertiage. I know I am biased on the black wheels (wonder why) but I really really like them on your car. The black panel looks great as is but accents would look good on it as well.

I don't care for the tail light covers.

Alright, thanks for the opinions guys. I think this black panel really brings something to the rear of the car where it was basically naked before. I think I will take the rear blackouts off and see how it looks now with the panel. Also I plan on getting white reflective fillins for CAMARO. I really like the front headlight covers because I have just never really been too hot on the LT1 style headlights. But they do really cut down on light.. I think one of my summer mods will be upgrading to 90mm hella high and low beams. Thanks again for the opinions.

Can the lights shine through those black outs? Parking lights are already crappy weak as is...

I agree w/ everyone else, get rid of the black outs.

Your car really looks great! You have a tastful theme going. Do what you like.

The issue with the light covers is if the orginals were tinted or something it would be inhancing the orginal, (hard to discribe what I am saying) which would look better. Then when you step on the brake or turn the lights on they would turn normal...like the Smoky & the Bandit TA's tail lights...

Maybe Hugger Orange Camaro inserts.

BTW your car sounded awesome leaving Quizinos!!
