I really dont give a **** what you guys think about how they look, i asked if anyone sells them....As far as that stuff about them not belonging on camaros; i personally am tired of seeing a thousand camaros, all looking the same with the only mods being different style wheels....If you guys dont like them, dont worry, you can keep your car as plain looking as you want...I just want to try something different...Alex

Got the supra style wing and the agressor front end? Wings west body kit?
Do you drive a Camaro Type Rs.
List of mods include Akimoto cold air, HKS exhaust, DC sports headers.

******, what do you have against customization of a camaro....should no one vary from stock...I dont drive my car as race car, so is the BM Mega Shifter i installed uncalled for..I mean seriously...Why do some of you guys really care so much that you try to mock me or be sarcastic..Its like why put new wheels on your car, or a custom paint job?? If your argument of not belonging on my car is true, should i also remove my seat covers, tint, sterio, KNs, should i use only standard oil as opposed to the synthetic i use now????? Where should i draw the line????

While I don't do stuff to my car and I keep it stock that keeps me happy.. moding the car under the engine makes other people happy, and moding the the body makes other people happy.. instead of bashing each other, why not just let people do what makes them happy? I'm not one to like to see strange body kits on a camaro, but if the person who did it likes it, then good.. It's their car, they should be happy driving it

Your best bet is to go to Ebay (search on clear lens or clear corners) and find some that you could mod to fit. Go and check out the cars on the car lot. I got mine from a Prelude (IIRC) and modded the front bumper to fit. It took me a while to decide how to go about it and what would be the right lights but it was worth it.

By the way, you're right, it doesn't matter what others may think of your ride - it's yours do what makes you happy. Until some cheese**** is paying my bills or stroking me a check I'll do it my way.

yeah, he did ask where to buy them, not how they would look. I'm not saying I think they would look nice cause I think they would like like ****, but it is his car and he can do what he wants with it.

Car: too many ...
wasap brah ... dont let these guys bother you ... lots of them like their Camaro to look stock cuz of the whole american heritage thing or something. and to all you guys who say 'who wants fake lexus lights??' i think you got the wrong idea. im pretty sure ppl that buy altezzas arent going for that lexus look ... its looks different and different is good. if you find some clear's for a 3rd gen i'd like a set too. the blackouts are nice on my 89 but i would like to try something different. i think clears would look really nice on a 3rd gen. you see that white mustang with white wheels and the clears with black outlines?? it looks frickn dope!! i wanted to paint my camaro british racing green with white racing stripes and powdercoat white wheels but i think the cops r gonna mess with me too much ... so now im gonna paint it black with grey racing stripes and polished wheels (not as flashy!) hope you find those lights ... i would share my idea with you about the rear lights but its a top secret project im gonna do on my 92 project car ... never before seen ... being a part of the sport truck community has changed my mod tastes alot!! k den

Ever notice that people all modify their cars with the park-bench spoiler and clear tail lights to be "unique", and wind up with cars that look like every single other rice burner on the road?

yeah i am lookin for something different for my camaro and every time anyone asks they get frickin flamed. stock is ok if like that sorta thing, i want people to look at my camaro and think that it is both cool looking and original, but not ghetto. ricers copy stuff from us and we copy from them, thats just how it is. how many of you have a 13 second daily driver that gets 25+ miles to the gallon. i am friends with ricers and third gen guys, so unless you have positive input, go answer another post and leave this guy alone.

Well I was working on a set for my white 91. I too think that the car should reflect what the person that owns it and not the opinion of others. I say go for it and who the hell cares what others think. Personally I am tring to convert my front plain jane square headlights to round 3-4 inch ones. Though to do this I will be having to make a blank mask fr my cam, but hey thats the easy part right?. LOL


As a side note I was doing my white 91 in clears/euro "red eye" and my 92 in ZR-1 stlye...

EVERYONE ON THIS DAMN BOARD ARE SO FREAKING CRITICAL OF EVERYTHING!!!! WHAT THE FUC*?! Have an open mind about shi*! You may want your car to look the same as all other Camaros on the road. Others do not.

Have any of you been to any of the "*****" boards? Have you ever noticed that they tend to stick together and that they have very few flames? Think about it.

We're all proud of our American made muscle. Let just be happy with that and let everyone do as they please. Don't be so damn critical.

I have respect for any "*****" that does tasteful mods to his car. I have used many items that most would consider rice (see sig). 18" wheels, carbon-fiber, Sparco steering wheel, etc. Damn, I must be a *****. Just remember, while you guys rip on "rice", the owners of dope Supras are laughing at your "hillbilly" 15" Cragars, SR-rated tires, stock seats, and 14-second timeslips. To each his own. Oh, and I will remove my fender side markers when I see BMW, Audi, and Mercedes stop using them. Guess that mod should be called "kraut" instead of "rice".

GMI FAST: Do you have any pics of your car? I've seen the posts asking for clear taillights but no one ever has pics of them and I would be interested in seeing it. Don't flame me now, I'm not planning on ever doing that, but just curious to see what it looks like.

MetalliCamaroRS: Sorry, dude. No pics yet. The car will not be out of my body shop for a while. Hopefully by late summer. I have Turbo magazine interested in doing a feature on the car when it's done. Maybe you can see me in the Chicago 'burbs this summer at MFBA events.
