Now you see that isn't so bad. I also like iroc2nv's Setup.

while we kind of changed the subject to any taillights on a camaro, any chance 4th gen trans am (93-97) taillights would work with a little trimming?

I understand everybodies concern regarding the Fox Body Mustang lights on a camaro, but I think it's a solid foot forward toward the biggest black eye on these cars. Now I also scratch my head on the fittment issues near the quarter panels, but with a little massaging of the metal in those area's I think it would be a improvement. If not the Stang lights then somthing else please!!! Stock lights SUCK!!!!

Round lights look discusting on these cars...Stock lights look better then any rendering i have seen. I just hate the amber in the lights. I tinted mine black. Whether its tinting that or tinting the whole lights or even the red tail light mod we can make these lights look A LOT better...Now if only someone would make some clear lights...

I love my grid tail lights i have like 4 sets of them...they fit the cars perfect.

It's a photoshop that someone did on here. But man would I like a set of those. And along with a set of clear side marker lights. That would be sweet! Adam :-)

i don't post on here much anymore, but the car in the pictures, and the photoshops is mine. here's more on the swap:

Techcessive.com - Corvette Taillights

although yes it's not a perfect solution, i was just sick of the grid lights, and i thought it was something different.

Kind of on the same topic...Over the 4th of July at a carshow, I saw a Fiero with C4 taillights and I didn't notice they were C4's right away. It didn't look to bad actually, looked almost stock. The car was painted dark blue and the section for the C4's was painted black. Point is, if it was done right, maybe someone who doesn't know camaros couldn't tell the difference. A big maybe though.

if someone did that, it might be kinda cool. id have to see it first though.
nice to see someone got the idea. a throwback to the early second gen camaros. i was going to buy the hawk's 5" spoiler to complete the image, but i really didn't like the look of it in pics i saw. kind of funny how the very first picture i took of the *** end of my car with the vette lights is still floating around the net 6-7 years later.

Re: corvette tail light mod

Idk, you'd really have to work to make that conversion look good, and in the end I still think the stock looks better. Innovative idea, but wrong car for the job.

I would not mind a setup like this but with C5 European lights. That would be a change of pace.
