I don't like em personally. If u want something different get a set and have them painted the color of your car in a candy paint. This would make em blend in with the car and allow the lights to still work.

My 10 yr old nephew asked me why people put them on their car. I said I guess they like the way they look. (no repsonse from him) Then I told him they make them for Camaros. His response was, Yuuuck!

Wow i've got them on my car. Did'nt know it was that big of a deal. They were on it when I bought the car though, but since then i've added halo headlights too, because the stock ones were totally yellow and wayyy too far gone for wet sanding and polishing (I tried). So are Halo's rice too? If not, what's the difference? I'm just curious, not trying to be a smart *** or anything. Here's a pic, don't dog me out too bad, like I said they were on it when I bought it, but i've always kinda liked them.

Don't take it personal, but it's kind of ricy (ricey? riceish? you know what I mean!)

LS1 owners generally feel that you only go so far with exterior mods - most mods go where you can FEEL them! As far as stickers go, LS1TECH.com stickers are about it aside from the legally required ones! Wings?? Don't even bring it up!! Ground effects? Only if it was factory installed. Wheels? Sure, but nothing over 18 - you stick 22's on there (don't laugh - it's been done) and we don't know you!!

I've seen halos on the front of a couple cars, and they don't look bad. But they don't make you any faster - personally I'd rather put that cash aside and save up for a 383 stroker! (Every dollar saved is a dollar closer!!)

I'm not partial to the clear corners. They don't look bad either - I'm just not partial to them.

If it were my money to spend (so far she keeps telling me it isn't) I'd do a lid, Corsa catback, suspension (the whole works, one part at a time) a 12 bolt, then the 383, in that order. With the 383 I'd gut the car to bare metal and have it painted and put it all back together again.

But that's just me.

I say if you like them, then go for it. I've seen them on a couple camaro's and they didn't look bad. Clear taillights is hardly the riceist? thing you can do to your car. Up to you, it's your car.
