Ever heard of VNT nightshades? Just buy a can from Summit for $10 and a can of duplicolor auto clearcoat at walmart and do it yourself to the stock lenses.
I didnt want to paint them black. It looks cheap IMO.

Wow, im confused. Were talking about the front corner lights on the Camaro's. Im guess your talking about the rear lights that are red? In that case yes, they do look good with that tint paint.
