Default Tail Light Covers

Does anyone know if they sell tail light covers for camaros that are not completely blacked out like the GTS one, so that way you can still see the tail lights? Im curious because I think that will go good with my theme, and I wanna see if you can still see the lights when you step on the brakes. Does anyone have pics with some on?

GTS makes a carbon fiber-look cover you might like. I couldn't find a Camaro pic but here's an example

Yes, You can see the lights when they are on, behind the covers.
If you don't want to go that dark, ..., Search VHT Niteshades or something like that, & then you can spraypaint them to the level you want, ...

I just wanted to make sure that you can still see the tail lights with the GTS covers on because they just look too dark for anything to go through.

I've got the GTS covers on my T/A and you can see the lights just fine during the day when you use the brakes, and at night when the lights are always on they just look like they have a clear cover over them. You'll be alright.

i have a single GTS carbon fiber cover, ill stick it on and take a pic for you.
(had them in the ttop space at the track, put my helmet up on the fuel tank hump thing, forgot about it and accelerated, it landed on the covers and broke one ekjrnfkdlwed)

edit: its too dark to get a good picture, if you still want one tomorrow, ill get it. you can still see the brake light perfectly. it is more of a tint effect than blacking out, i really like it.
