considering how much cheaper its going for in that add compared to hawks or fbodymotorsports (like 499.00) thats a steal....if it's what you're looking for
There is no reverse light with that setup, gonna have to make something custom. I never really planned on doing that but wow that is a good deal, gonna have to watch that auction hehehe who knows maybe it would be cool if the price was right ...

I wish sombody would step up and make that same panel with C5 Covette lights. What a perfect world it would be.

That thing in that auction is actually something I might try.
I thought it was those ugly panels that slipped over your stock tail lights.

i think its ugly personally, it sounds like a good idea, but when you see a car with it, it just doesnt flow at all.

When it's actually on the car, you can easily tell it doesn't belong there.

seems like if u wanted to u could always mod the corvette lights for a different kind of light maybe like old camaro like the 60's. i know someone did that on this board with some 68 camaro lights.

It's a Valid attempt at trying to fix the biggest eyesore these cars have.
(The Rear Lights) With a little modding to the plate it might not look so bad.

i like the tail lights on our cars. a cool cheap mod is to paint your amber section in the light red. takes $3 maybe and looks trick.

This may sound ridiculous,
But those Vette lights might flow better on a Trans AM rear,
more so than on a Camaro rear.. because of how the two cars
tail light designs flow.. The only possible reason why no one
has done that mod to a Firebird is rather obvious, lol
Who would but a Corvette style trademark on a Pontiac

That might look half decent with this spoiler...
I'm bored at work so I did another one... Not that great, but gets the point across.. If someone with any sort of body skills took a crack at it, I bet it would look sweet! If you either moved the bumper inward(I don't know what's behind the plastic shell in the rear.. never taken it off) and if that wasn't possible, build up the rear behind the lights so that they were flush with the bumper. That's a really tempting project! I might try it in the next couple months..

Take the 0 out of the 305 and you got a deal. But you never what it looks like till you see it in person. I saw plenty of pictures of 4th gen dashes in 3rd cars. I never liked the way it looks. But then I saw my friends IROC with a 4th gen Camaro dash in it and it looks awsome! Now were going to be doing one in my car. You just never know what anything is going to look like till you see it in person. Adam :-)
