Excellent work! I could have used this a few years ago when this happened to my rear driverside tail light housing. I ended up replacing them with LS1 tails but would have liked to keep the LT1 flavor and done this.

Again, well done.

Thanks guys. Glad to see this is still seeing some traffic even though it is old and getting lost in the shuffle. I know a lot of people have bought new tail lights because of this problem. And buying used ones off ebay is a crap shoot. It is easy to hide that delamination problem with pictures, so you don't know what you are getting until it is in your hands. This method can help save a lot of money over buying replacements, even used ones.

That turned out sweet . It looks perfect with the entire lens tinted just a few shades darker than stock as opposed to blacked out . Nice job !

anyone know how much the set is? Have 2 sets of the grids and 1 honeycomb set. Drivers of my grid are almost perfect, Passenger side on both is screwed. Definite sticky!

Any chance of a vinyl set for LS1 taillights? I'd like to repaint them at the same time as my car.

Bumping this old thread since I may not be the only one that never saw it.

Going to be reviving some LT1 TA tails pretty soon with this.
