Just gauging interest on a possible new accessory....


How many of you would be interested in getting a 1-piece taillight blackout assembly for your T/A, Formula or Bird?


A single blackout that covers both taillights as well as the center filler (that's right, you won't be able to use the key)





I think it's much cleaner and looks more like a factory piece than the blackouts that are available right now....





Anyhoo, lemme know what you guys think....

Let me be the first to say, that that is really ugly.

 

he asked who would be interested not who wouldnt be. ls1tech is gaining people like this more and more every damn day.
There is not much for us pontiac guys out there at all, I want to get blackouts. i have a CE it goes with the theme. And since that car is yellow its not looking all that bad. What kinda prices would we be talking? I dig it.

 

Yeah, Id love to try it and be a little different. Whats the price?

 

intersting idea, but sorry i dont like it...

 

i tihnk it would look good on black or navy metallic., i do not like it on yellow

 

I agree, I'd like to see it on a black ta

 

oh yeah that is the wrong damn color for those lights, but hey to each is own

 

i think that it looks good on a black TA, I always have liked the way the pontiac has looked

 

I'd like to try it out, may not look the best on some T/A's, but everyone has an opinion.

 

i like my tailights the way they are.....

 

You're going to be miles ahead if you develop a second prototype mold that includes a keyhole. Power trunk latches were not standard equipment on all Firebirds, so the guys that don't have this option are automatically eliminated as potential customers. That's a significant portion of the market share.

I think you're definitely onto something here though.

 

one word, drill :p

3/4 will probably work well

 

Hell I'd give it a try, if I didn't like the way it looked I could always take it off.
Blown money on dumber things

 

a $50,000 insurance policy against the sky falling?

 

Have you ever drilled a hole in plexiglass? The edge of the hole turns white from the drill bit grinding against it. I'm sure that would look attractive.

Aside from that, part of what makes an aftermarket item have value is the fact that all the footwork/engineering to make whatever application it's being used on look/perform better has already been done. People want something that is ready to be used straight out of the box.

 

Not quite that dumb

 

I love the way my taillights look too, the honeycomb is just awesome IMO but I would be willing to try them if the price was right.

Would the filler panel part of the blackout be completely opaque plastic that would be better if it is , because I want to try blacking out my car but I dont want to take my decals off the filler

 

i would like to know a price also and see if you can post it on a black trans am. Im interested.

 

I don't really like the way they look
