You'll have to go to your local dealer to buy/order them tho, ...

Or use the search function for taillight covers or autoventshade.
(FYI, I can't get the damn search function to work right now, or I'd have it for ya, ...)

You can get AutoVentShades at your local AutoZone. $36.99 They have to order them, but they are delivered to the store (at no cost to you) in a few days.

The fronts and rears will snap on, you will have to open your hood ( or hatch) to install them, and adjust them so they are straight. The rears have some velcro that you attach if you want.

Also, Camaro's have been known to have the 'melted taillight' syndrome after using the covers. Most would recommend the spray-on tint instead. But then you're committed if you do that.
And most people who would do the Berger mod, most likely wouldn't 'stoop' to the cover mod, ..., Not likely going to find photos of them together. But, ya never know, ...

nightshade yeah ive heard of it and covers seem more practical to me as you can take them on and off, i dont see why people dont do the berger and covers together i think it would flow good and look good also. what if you nightshaded the covers? you know make them not look so shiney and then they might flow better and it will be a darker tint aswell.

that helps out but maybe it is kind of an overkill with both, it looks good but that is the reason i would want blackouts just so i could change every now and then.

buy two cans. u will only need one, but if u mess up u can start over. and also if u decide to do any other lights u have a can left over. i prolly did 2-3 coats on mine, with a few coats of clear, if u really want them to hava shine, zaino them once u paint them looks awesome if u can afford some down time, send me all the stuff and ill do it for u

with zaino


without
