Default Taillights?!?!

I was never a fan of my taillights. Anyone have some better suggestions? What would look decent on my car?

Nightshading them could look good, along with some black CAMARO inserts.

Nevermind my car is black, but the darker taillight covers would look good on your car...



And if you get the right kind, drivers behind you will still be able to see your lights turn on. I would also suggest going with a set of black CAMARO inserts.

Go with some LT1 tail lights and put 1-2 coats of vht with some clear over it. Should come out looking really good imo.

And as for the tails I think blacking them out would look good...

Really? I think they're worth every penny, especially since I'm the only person (That I know of) around here with them.

I must say, I'm not a fan of the exports but your car pulls it off pretty well
