(I really need to LED mod these 07 tails already, so I can get them tinted)
I got my LED tail lights this week. getting them tinted tomorrow morning. My friend works at a body shop and does them for me for $40. they look just like car paint when hes done. but its a little cheaper becuase i sand them for him and he paints them. Heres my led tail lights with no tinting and i will post some pics up tomorrow after they are done!

yeah i know what you mean, my bro in law loves my car especially when my cutout is open. well after we raced that V6 10' camaro we went and showed the video to one of his co-workers, he asked what kind of car i had so i told him GP GXP, he looks outside and says " my daughter has one of those, a silver GT i said mines a GXP, he replies, those 3800's are pretty nice arent they?" i say no mine has a V8 5.3 ltr he was like so i threw him a rev with the cuout open as we left.

Looks pretty good, did you tint the third brake light?

I'm having Flip tint my stock tails and I am going to try to get some decent LED bulbs.

IMO, I think you should have left them with the LED look. I personally like the led's actually showing lol. But it still looks pretty good!
