I had to use yours. It is the best looking Silver TA...and if it didn't look good on your car, it wouldnt look good on any silver LS1 TA's. Besides, since you take so many pics, it was easy to find a good rear pic of yours.

Here's two more styles on 02SilverTa's car. NiteShades and then something else I made up that I thing looks neat. Might look cool on someones car Heck, someone might even to it after I invented it. I shall call them, Vette Tails.

wow, i kinda like the round light idea....the black out is clean, not a fan of GTO covers, but the tint would look good..........

Hey, I beat ya on that one. I did some PS like that in Feb 03.
Here's a couple plus a ferrari style light. I know they look a little iffy, but I just wanted a general idea of how a little paint on there might look.

I like the 2 painted lights as well. Reminds me of this guy I know in Finland.

Another idea I shot down was to mount some lights under the wing. Then you really could paint the stock lights all black.

In one of the links I posted it describes the process. Basically you have to heat the lens to soften the sealer, remove the clips and gently pry it apart. Then reseal it back together when your done.

They suck.
Search for Breathless Motorsports. That's who makes them. Quality is bad, lenses crack, cost $1000, lighting is worse than stock, they look horrible up close, etc...
