Yeah it was a little more than I wanted to spend, but I had seen another set posted for about $50 more and they were a little scuffed up. I will post pictures for sure once they come in.

I always like the popcorn export tail lights. I also remember paying somewhere above $500 for a pair back in the early 2000's. I also had the Camaro export side mirrors that folded.

I really like those, first non-oem (US at least) that I even remotely like. Tried a quick Google search for didn't find any additional info about them, or any for sale. I'm sure there are hundreds of new pairs sitting in some warehouse in Japan or UAE, now the hard part is finding them.

If anyone has a used pair and doesn't like them, I'll trade you my used OEM's and $100 cash for a swap.

I dont know if I like them, but its not my car. They are an improvement over the stock ls1 tails. But the lt1 tails still look the best.

Make the car look newer and cleaner, when the tail and head lights get old it makes the car look old.

It looks like your exhaust tips are on the wrong sides... the tip that sticks further out should be on the inside of the 2 to flow with the bumper.

Nope. They're the same length on each side. They're strait in person but do look odd in the pic. Maybe cuz it doesn't have wheels on it...
