Taillight Options

I was thinking corvette taillights in the rear of a camaro. What every one else think?
I think it would best with a 91/92 spoiler or possibly no spoiler- to add to the covette look. let me know what you think. If anyone could photoshop this that would be cool

There is/was a kit to put Vette lights on the thirdgen. In my humble opinion it looked like crap.

To each their own, but that is one ugly car. Love the blanket in the hatch and the double spoiler lol.

THat guy is from the town right above mine. Its a decent car, I think what killed it was the back up lights and the ugly paint job with the stacked spoilers. It is a good car though. I've run against him a few times and we've come out equal until I put in the 350 now its no contest. The body work on the car looks awful up close but it was because somebody did a terrible job mounting the bumper.

The reason the blanket was there from what I was told was because he had a woofer in back that he wanted covered...

I think it would look really good if you just did it one solid color and had someone that did good body work attach it and fill in any cracks. I was told that you can do the back up lights differently too. I would maybe use clear parking lights stacked two high with a little space in between for the backup lights...

I think it might look okay if tastefully done on a solid color car and minus the double spoiler. But that car just looks like crap.

i've seen the kit on a car one night...the car was dark green and the light kit looked really good. the rest of the car sucked...spoke rims sticking out of all 4 corners, gold trim on the hatch, etc... i have been thinking of the kit for my 82, but i'm still debating it.

I think it would look a lot better if it didn't use the stock bumper. Something more in line with what Callaway did for the '93 Camaro maybe.
