I took that picture about 3 or 4 years ago. I still see it floating around the Internet every once in a while. That car was such a botched abortion. The pictures don't even begin to describe how lame that car is. I think he made those vette tail light panels himself out of a set of GTS tail light covers. You can't tell in the pic, but they fit like ****. The inside of the car is done all in cow print fabric. Half of the striping is actually chrome tape.

Supposidly that car had a stout 350 in it. When it drove by me, it sounded like every other 2.8 thirdgen I've heard.

ya i love our lights at night, they are cool... and you can tell them apart very well compared to many other cars

i used to have the first set of lights, but i took those out and put in the TA lights (diffrently than all the other TA's) and i was forced to take the neon plate frame off.. too many tickets

That rear looks better on the Accord then on that Camaro...matches the lines of the car better. I imagine some people dislike it so much due to the principle alone...? *braces for it*

I've seen a full size truck with the lateset vette taillights in Wisconsin. I was in a bus going to a cross country meet.

Nope. On the 'Maros, it looks kinda slapped on there...I dunno, at least the Accord, or whatever, went all out with the full rear-end look...much more complete, though I don't really like how any of them look. Imagine flying down the freeway at night to catch up to that badass....ACCORD? I mistake Corsica tails for Thirdgen Bird lights at night, from a distance all the time...

Or mabey the camaro's tailights looked slapped on because they are real, and the accord is photoshoped.

I dunno.. It looks crooked to me, as if the right side were shorter than the left. Also the paint on the vette part seems to be less shiny than the rest of the car. And the third thing that looks weird is the bottom left hand corner, it just looks smudged to fit.

I wont believe it till I see a second pic.

The Accord, while I certainly don't like it, looks like it was done professionaly. The Camaros look like they were some GTS tailight covers with vette cutouts...probably costing oh, I'd say $50 bucks.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like the Accord either.
