GTS Taillight blackouts - good quality?

yeah they are great, I loved mine when I had them. See that LOVED part. They look soo good that people just have to be jerks and take them. I recomend you drill those suckers in to your tail lights. Mine werent on for a week and some one swiped them from my drive way. Better luck with yours

I know what you mean...I had mine on for quite a while until somebody stole them. I wasn't that happy with the quality of them though...it took me 4 pairs to get a set that fit somewhat right and even they didn't fit right. I mean I know they aren't going to be perfect but these were far from it.

Do they cover only the brake light section or all the way to the reverse light and numberplate?

They are attached to lights with velcro. I got mine on pretty good, just takes time. I had the head light covers.....THEY SUCK. I was doing 65 with them and went to change lanes......next thing I see is a small black bag go over my hook of my car....50 miles later I realized......IT WAS MY HEAD LIGHT COVER!!! No luck.....
