Listen do you know what the best tail lights are? The stock ones, if you wanna be different, use blackouts. I'm telling you. You got a muscle car, not a rice burner. But whatever... Depending on the color of your car, you might be able to pull it off. By the way, what kind of shifter are you putting on? Do you got an SS, Z28, RS?

They just don't fit or flow with the car at all. If you have the originals, I say put those back on.

Well, here's a bad comment on them. They ******* SUCK! Hopefully you don't plan on leaving them riced out. I would have changed them in the rain, even a meteor shower, before any pics were taken, so there was no record that I EVER owned a car with ricer taillights.

I don't think I've ever seen something that looked so

LMAO. I smell a in the near future. We all agree those ricer lights suck and the OP is an idiot for thinking of buying them, end of story.

thanks for a civilized answer will be changing them out first thing tomorrow thank god i dont have to pay for a set of originals (tho 93-96 tails would be quite nice... i love the simplicity of those)

i might take these and use them as a vht night shades project.

if i was to vht the "rice" ones, how would that look, would the euro show through? if not thats the way i might go when i get chance. also how well does the light tend to shine through the nite shades in the camaro tails (ive seen the posts with the trans am that had it done, but would ours be as visible?) i want it to look good, but dont want a ticket.

Well, if you put a *** out in the sun and he gets a tan, it's just a darker skinned ***.

seriously if they are completely dark you'd never know your post is absolutely worthless, give reason instead of just bashing. if all you are going to do is make comments like that you are of no use to a tech site.

if you went with the all black covers you wouldnt even notice them,so that would work,but i would just throw the stockers on because you wouldnt have to worry about wasting 50 bucks on some covers..I think the stockers look good enough how they are imo...

406malibu, You ask an opinionated question, get an answer, then get all pissy when you get a response you don't like? Grow the **** up.

Okay, here's your technical response then since you want something technical about spraying your lenses with vht. Technically speaking, they would still look faggoty if you spray them darker. Happy?

i asked an opinionated question, your right. but i was expecting a mature anwer (those look terrible, they dont flow, go back stock, etc.) wasnt expecting someone to come on here and start with the immature comments, with no backing. no need for calling calling people "****" because you dont like their lights. guess maturity is too much to expect from a 29 year old... yea i should grow up
