There were 3 black cars that had the red backed ones at last years west coast F-body gathering. I liked the way they looked. Haven't been able to find any pics, though.

I thought about doing LEDS in mine, but I don't want to ruin a perfectly good set of lights.. and quite frankly I don't CARE so much what the person behind me sees of my taillights, so long as he sees them and I don't see his.

I have a set of perfect 98+ tails in my garage, but that's cos I have a 98 car in my back yard they belong to. I just took em off when I was cleaning the car out. (there was glass inside em from broken bulbs in the past) and haven't put em back on yet.

the round lights make it look even more like a chrysler product. Don't we already have identity problems with chrysler products?

they might look good tinted, without it I wouldn't have em tho.

I completely agree there, i think they look to rice unless tinted (i think seeing all the individual leds is what is the hook like and sinker for me)

but with the tint they would look that solid black I think that would look pretty good

I love the stripe, the only thing is you need to protect it from bird **** until its fully adheared. Your not suppose to wash or wax for a week or two and a bird **** on mine in that time frame and etched a mark into it so im having a replacement rear section sent to me and I think I may just leave the paper over the top of the vinyl until its cured enough to wax over it. Also go with the pinstripe, it just looks way better then just being cut off with no accent around it. lemme know when u get em on so I can check em out. I love how no one in my town has these, actually I have never seen these in person but a few guys on here have em.

That is why I hate the base and z28 hoods even I have a hard time distinguishing between a camaro and a gay *** chrysler at a long distance sometimes. Plus I wear glasses/contacts so my eyes are fucked up enough.

The dents are what the problem has been?! The tinting isn't the best, but you could wet sand and clear them to look better. The dents were there before you tinted, guaranteed. They aren't uncommon on camaros and someone probably had those covers on before you. They are known to "melt" the lights like you said, and that dent is exactly the melting they are known for.
