vette brake lights?

im sittin around today thinking of something i can do to my 87 Z, and im thinkin they make roll pans for trucks with corvette brake lights in 'em, so why couldnt i do this to my camaro, anyone have any pics possibaly? or would this be a good idea, cause i know it would drain a nice hole in my wallet, so input on the subject would be great, thanks.

I have seen a Camaro around here with this done. It replaced or covered the existing tail lights and was painted the same as the body color. It had the four ZR-1 or late model squared Corvette lights. It did not look homemade so you can probably find whoever makes it somewhere. The car was a red convertible Z28 or IROC and says IROC ZR-1 on the door.

forget that idea. there has been a loss in the Chevrolet family , Saturday night November 25 I totaled my Camaro. Some jackass ran a stop sign and took the passenger side of my car with him and put the rest of me in the ditch about 20 feet off the road.

J.B.'s 1987 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc-Z28 350 RIP. My baby will be missed.

my insurance company is gonna give me a lil more than blue book value, which is about $4800, which sucks, because 1. i bought the car for 6500, and 2. the engine wasnt stock, it was a after market 350. so my insurance company didnt know i had a 350 , they thought i had a 305, because that's what was on the serial number. so im screwed there. BUT i found a '92 25th aniversary RS with a 305, and its a stick (which was what i was looking for the first time i was looking for a camaro, cause i wanted a 5 speed.) for about 4200. so im goin to look at that, so wish me luck guys .
