I have the blackouts on the back of my 02 trans am and the only problem i had was that the plastic that holds the top on was kind of long and it was rubbing on the hatch lid so i had to trim it but ive had them for about 4 years now with no problems. O one big note i got some of that industrial velcro the kind with the plastic not the fiber and i put it where it doesnt glow and it works great.

well i got all sets on, and i guess they do hang on real good. but still the rear passenger side cover does not hook right. its loose, the other side is descent, but the loose side feels like it can fall off any moment, and their is a lot of space between it and the light.
