I have them and I love them, really like the way the lines follow those of the trunk lid. Kind of look like candy corns, but haven't even gotten negative comments although maybe people keep them to themselves.

Thanks for the feedback guys... I really like them a lot more than the niteshaded lt1's I had on... and they own 97+ tails to me. Added a before shot.

Honestly, I prefer them over the "regular" LS tails or the LT tails. Tails looks good UnVMySS and ECU Pirate.

I'd leave em the way they are. Even though you can wet sand the tint off, I still wouldn't want to take a chance at messing them up.

Where did you get them? I don't like the LS1s but I like the LT1s. These Euros are the best I've seen!

Very subtle but cool. They look to be a slight upgrade over the look of stock ls1 tails.

For people that have bought these before, what's the usual price to pay for these?

I saw a black SS years ago with those red LED 'Anzo' brand tail lights that I really liked, but I always think once I buy them, I'll just completely regret buying them and have wasted the money because they look to ricerish on my car.

These export lights look like a nice change from the usual without going for full blown aftermarket tail lights.

Here's a picture of the other tail lights I'm talking about. Looked really good on the dark colored car as it was driving by and when I walked past it while it was parked. I just get the feeling I wouldn't like them after installing them.
