Default blackouts
hey i was wondering where to get blackouts for the rear taillights for my 98t/a. some people on here are saying not to get the blackouts but get the polished inserts instead because the blackouts will warp the taillights, what are these and what do they look like? and where can i buy them, or the blackouts, which do you guys think would be best?

Don't get them from ebay--get AVS blackouts from Summit for $40. Then you at least know they're packaged well.

Thats what I was going to say.

You must have found one of my posts on this subject:

(just a few)

They might not be on the shelf (Camaro ones typically are), but the store can get them in in a few days.

You can also remove the "AVS" logos with 3M PerfectIt-II rubbing compound.
