Thinking of blacking out my tailights... [Pics] Hey guys, I'm getting sick of how colorful the back of my car is so i think it's time to go monochrome. I wanted to completely blacken out the tailights but in my opinion that looks like ***. This is what I came up with in photoshop:

Re: Thinking of blacking out my tailights... [Pics] I'd say blackout the whole light and not leave the white reverse lights. I have a black Formula with taillight covers am partial to the blackout look.

Re: Thinking of blacking out my tailights... [Pics] I would recommend you get your lights smoked from a place called www.smokinlights.net. I know the owner of this site and he did my tail lights on my 2001 Z28. The result is great, much better than just a plastic cover. Also I have been pulled over for speeding a few times and the cops haven't said anything about my lights. The Z28 in the gallery area of his site is my car. Hope this helps.

Re: Thinking of blacking out my tailights... [Pics] I have taillight covers and have not noticed any melting. Then again, I've noticed that all those who complain about melting own Camaros.

Re: Thinking of blacking out my tailights... [Pics] I'm actually going to be using either VHT Nite-Shades or go to a tinting shop and have them do it. That way I can remove them anytime I want and it will look like it came from the factory rather than use thick covers. I'll see how it turns out.
