A few questions:
* What are WS6 Blackouts?
* What do you want to blackout?
* What color is your car?

If your car is black and you are talking about taillight blackouts, you can buy AVS taillight blackouts for about $36 at AutoZone (Its not on the shelf, but they can order it in for no additional cost). You can remove the "AVS" logos with 3M FinessIt-II (its a fine-cut rubbing compound).

Here is a pic on my car:

I prefer covers because they are removeable (sometimes inspection places request their removal and you can change your mind and pull them off) and they make the taillight look like one piece instead of two (brakelight & backup light) and its cheaper.

I had them on my red ws6 for 2 years. I just recently took them off, since I did my ceta bumper mod. It was too much black. If you are looking to buy them, I have them for sale. Shoot me a pm

Check with your State laws. I know in WA they are illegal to run on the streets. You have to have corner reflector markers visible at a certain distance. I got pulled over by the state patrol one night after a show when I forgot to take them off. He was cool about it all and just made me pop them off and sent me on my way.
