Thank you for all the positive feedback. I like all the honest criticism too. The car will be silver. NO STRIPES. I have to mention that Pascual Marquez has only been selling these tail lights with the red lenses. They are on the Mule and Jody's car. Mine is a prototype for the clear tail lights. Again all feedback is appreciated. It looks better in the sunlight and I will try to get better pics soon.

That car is such a timeless design, its gorgeous. I wish GM would take that same body, throw a new ls2 in it with a modern interior as well as modern underpinnings and call it the 2007 camaro. It would sell like hotcakes.
Wait, I think that's what Nineball and Steve are doing to their camaros..... LOL, great minds think alike.

I think the clear lights would look fine on a light colored car (silver, white) but would not work with a dark colored car..
Next thing you know they will say your white trun signal lenses are "rice"

Wow that is an excellent point you make Steve. I completely forgot about the clear tail lights up front on the car in the lower valance. Thats just one more thing that matches the clear tail lights. Good call on that one.
