Rover, there used to be a company that made an entire rear facia that allowed the use of 4th gen corvette lights. If I find it I'll post it. That's the only vette conversion I've seen for our cars.

CamaroGuy, those are probably it. It's been YEARS since I saw it and couldn't remember who sold em. I thought the rear fascia I was thinking of had sorta ferrari luvers to the side and had door gfx to do with em that matched....kinda Testarosa style....WAY guido!!! I thought they were ugly as sin but hey, that's my and I'm sure there's a gathering that thinks my ride is ugly too.

The original people who made those was Baldwin Motion. The original ones were 2 different pieces and did not go all the way across. I really dont like them... there is too much blank space left over

exactliy my thoughts,.....our rear's our so big and pronounced, that I feel our tailights do them justice....if someone were to make an alternative they would have to be the same size, yet offer something different

Reason why I don't think it looks that good is that all Camaro lights are either rectangular or real real close to being rectangular. If one wouldchange the headlights to dual or tripple round ones, change the blinkers, sidemarkers and install round or oval fog lights, then it would look alright.

ive seen a few like that b4, and the first 1 or 2 i saw i thought were ugly as sin, and couldnt understand why someone who do that to such a nice lookin car already, but now that i saw those other 2 pics above, i guess they arent too bad, but i still wouldnt do it on my car (if i has one).

I dont like it, those tailights just look out of place on a camaro, vette tailights should stay on vettes, but vette rims on the other hand look much better on f-bodies
