Blackout tail lights on a pewter Z?
Hey everyone, Im debating on getting blackouts for my tail lights or a berger panel on the back of my Z. Does anyone have pictures of their pewter Camaro's with blackout tail lights or berger panels? I have a picture of my car if anybody doesnt mind photoshopping or something. Thanks
P.S. yes I know next will be wider tires....one step at a time

I would highly suggest not getting blackouts. On the Camaro's from 97 and up with the newer tail lights, the blackouts will cause the tail lights to melt.
I had this happen to me twice before I found out why. My buddy's also had this problem, so it isnt just a one car thing. Tail lights are $300 to replace.

Half of the cars on the LS1Tech Calender have blackout taillight covers.

It seems like some people try to to talk bad about blackouts but i think they look good and get rid of the ugly *** stock lights.

The only two I have hosted. I have others but were lost in my hard drive when it crashed.
Personally I've always liked them. I could care less what everyone else tells me, it's my car.

that whole melting thing DOES happen. I have had my blackouts on for like 1 1/2 years and once you take them off, both taillights have indents in them, but as long as you leave the blackouts on, its not really a problem
