Tail Lights, home mod I just got some euro style tail lights, but before you go off on how ricy they look, hear me out. I have a black Camaro, and am going to get some high temp black paint, to paint the shinny silver part black. I have seen this done on head lights and it came out very nice. After thinking about it with an open mind, I'd love to see your opinions. thanks

Re: Tail Lights, home mod I think your idea would look great. I have been wanting to get those taillights and work with them also.
However, the Vette lights on that Camaro look really out of place IMO. But that is an awesome job the body man did.
Here is a pic of my old taillights in my photo album:

And here is the eBay listing with more pictures:

Re: Tail Lights, home mod The body man that did that rear panel is Whistler.
Seems like everything he touches turns to gold.
He is selling the rear panels. Around $150 I think... You supply the Vette lights.
IMO they look awesome on there.
Much better than rice lights.

Re: Tail Lights, home mod Some more...
The 2nd pic hints at his targa top mod.
Too bad I don't have any pics of his custom nose and homemade CF cowl hood...

Re: Tail Lights, home mod Don't understand how adding lights not made for our car (altezzas) can be called rice - yet adding lights that weren't made for our cars (corvettes) is awesome?
Interesting dichotomy.
