Default taillight seals?
I bought a set of these for my Corvette to keep water and dirt from accumulating around (especially underneath) the tail lenses. It's always been a peeve of mine with the Camaro as well, so does anybody make them?

Tail light seals... gaskets, whatever you want to call 'em... something to seal the area around the tail lens on the Camaro. They're available prepackaged for the Corvette. I know how many times I washed and dried my car only to back it into the garage and have wet dirty streaks running down the bumper from all the crud around there

Just curious what exactly you used.
Was it something off the shelf at a hardware store, or an auto parts store, or, ...
Just a roll of foam or what?

Well the set I purchased for my Corvette are pretty much the same "Frost King" ones I saw at Lowe's today so I'll be going that route with the Camaro.
