Lightbulb Taillight idea...

OK, so here's my plan, filling in the stock tails and replacing with ZO6 'Vette Taillights! I just need to get a ZO6 rear bumper w/ligts to cut out the surrounding plastic to graft it in. Once I can get that, the guys in my club can fab the filler piece! Whatta ya think a that? Swat

1. C5 Z06 or C6 Z06 tail lamps?
2. You realize that Z06 lamps (either gen) are no different than a regular 'vette, right?
3. In any and all above cases, this is a bad idea.

Ummmmmmmmm... If you check out Whistler's car domain he did it on his Camaro and it looks Awesome!!! Don't feel like taking the time to copy and paste them on here but I'm sure someone else can do it for me.

please guys, no negative comments. Just wanting to see how creative people get with their tails, if you dont like other parts of their car, fine.

I am thinking of slightly tinting the clear and amber parts of my camaro's tail lights and leaving the red portion alone. does anyone have anything like this done?
