Default camaro tail light covers

i apologize if this has already been covered i searched and havent seen anything...

i already ordered some and will be here soon. i know most suggest to use VHT but i had some headlight covers awhile back and they worked great fr me. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get they to stay tight and flush without the risk of falling off? most clip or have velcro but are there any other suggestions?

oh btw i bought these taillights a couple years ago when i was 16 and have fallen out of love with the carbon fiber but i like the look of the light pattern with blackouts on (i tried my buddies on for an idea) and think it will look 10x less rice with them blacked out i just dont want them to fall off.

any tips from first hand experience?

my advice is to ditch those for some stockers, and vht if you want them "blacked out"

the idiot i bought my car from had blackouts on the tails, now they're warped pretty good

The Camaro covers have a history of melting the taillights. Search 'covers' & 'melted' & you'll find the history.
Covers on those, Not a good choice in my opinion either.
As mentioned above, VHT those or VHT a set of stock taillights.

I think he meant the tips. I kinda agree with him, but the covers make it look way better.

i think those covers look great! i think the tips would look alot better with a nice rear valence to make it look flush...i kno the rear valences for the CME are hard to come by...doesnt RK sport make a body kit that has a valence made for a CME??
