Just find some with the internal corrosion/water damage to buy cheap, and then refinish them.

And yes, those decals suck ***. The scale is slightly off from the actual honeycomb, at least on the set I saw... A friend of mine installed them on his TA and it was a huge PITA, not to mention it didn't fully cover the lens since we didn't have a hair dryer or anything to stretch it.

Plenty of interest. At least 2-4 kits pre-sold already via this thread.

Just a thought, if you had lt1 tails with no pattern, just plain red, and you stripped off the red, then laid the honey comb over it, wild that be close? Just without the reverse lights?

I like that idea.. ive toyed with the notion of putting in lt1 tails cause they are smooth... and i love a smooth ***.. but anyway. I have a buddy I can get some LT tails from.. Ill take them apart and see whats up....

Might as well asked me if I have ever seen a Honda tail light....?



They are extremely unique, the shape and the cosmetics.
They may not look like Grand Am lights, but the entire TA light and filler panel looks like an upside down 92-99 Bonneville's sans honeycomb.

The Charger-esque design would turn all of our cars into big RX-7s...

Add me down to the clear honeycomb buy list.

Huh?! I wonder if there are more... It seems like GM was cheaping out on some of the design aspects of our 4th gens. Pretty much everything carried over for 10 years, minus just a few different appearance improvements. A lot of the appearance was pulled from several other GM cars (or at least designed alongside them).

Still waiting to see if someone is going to make the clear honeycombs....that would complete my visual modifications pretty much (sans better letter inserts and tint).
