Custom smoked tail light?

The P.O. had bought some black outs and must have stenciled out a chevy sign and then cut it out. you can tell it's home done. the job itself doesn't look all that bad, but im just debating whether or not i want to leave them on the car.. what do you guys think?

You know those guys that like to put a big Honda sticker on their hood? I would put this same category. It's one of those things that make you say "oh...my...god."

Re: Custom smoked tail light?

I have a bad enough time with people behind (usually too close) not being able to see my turn signal or brake lights that I wouldn't want to diminish them anymore than they already are. Thinking of adding turn signal and third brake light to the top of the rear window.

Re: Custom smoked tail light?

Someone did the same thing with the headlight covers that came with mine, the bowties also had flames in the middle.


I guess it had bowtie tails like yours as well but they got stolen a few years ago.


my front signals also had what looked to be rebel flags over them as well...

I completely agree. It has "cheesy" written all over it. IMO i'd get rid of it.
