Tail lights warped/dented camaro 
Is there any way to reshape warped/dented tail lights on a camaro...im sure its from long ago when i had blackouts on them...heat from those and the bulbs dent them in...should i just buy a good used set or can the be reshaped?

Happened to a set i had on my old car due to the blackout covers i had on them. Luckily the set on my current car don't have that issue. As far as a fix i guess you could try to heat up that area of the light and then push the dent out but i dont know how well that will work
Yeah definitely not a factory option lol...its from the blackouts and heat from the bulbs...i will try to heat them up in the oven and see if i can press the dent out...might just go back old school and buy some more blackouts...tail panel is gloss black now...

As mentioned above, this isn't a "factory defect", it's from heat build-up due to the usage of blackout covers at some point (or some other type of exposure to heat which exceeds what would be seen under normal usage). The only ones I've ever seen in person with this exact type of "dent" are examples which were known to have had blackouts prior. FWIW, none of my three 4th gen Camaros have ever had this problem (and they've never had blackouts).

My SS had this issue. It was from the previous owner having used blackout covers on the car. I ended up just buying some non-deformed ones off craigslist for $40 and I later sold the deformed ones for the same price to someone who didn't mind the little indentations.
