yea it aint that bad though...I think the way the picture was taken it made it look like the steel belt was coming through. I got her inspected last month so I still have alittle tread left. I knew I would get confronted on that though

thanks Matt!!

Well, you have T/A lights on a Formula and you have the bulbs in there in a different pattern, looks like the center red llight in each cluster is the blinker, personally, I'd use the outer one as the blinker.

do you think that looks better? I must have swapped them out forever trying to figure out which way was better... It might since both lights would be together and there would be no space...

probably..look at this crazy SOB. that car probably aint worth more than 5,000 yet he thinks it is some kind of classic limited run vehicle or something.

But really unforgivin, the thought did pass my mind, but it really does not matter to me what other people think. I am still a 27 year old kid I guess...

On our Trans Ams, the center two blink while the one farthest out stays on when the parking lights are on.
Brake light is the two innermost lights, so when the parking lights are off and you hit the brakes, the two innermost lights will light up.

When the parking lights are on, all 3 lights are on in each cluster.

Hey Formula90, how far away are you from Leauge City? If your not very far, you should go to League City Park on Friday nights from 7:00-9:00. There's a car show there every week, and I'm there when I have time. Maybe we could meet up some time. I think the record for most thirdgen camaros seen is 4 at one night.

I guess I need to go ahead and get the harness then. Thanks Zepher

Hey 92RSB4C whats up. I live on the island in galveston. That car show sounds good man. Unfortunaltly I work weekend nights waiting tables and if I take off a friday or saturday night, well, lets just say those nights are what keep the lights on and the food on the table. But, I live about a half hour from you, maybe I can mail ya and see if we can meet somewhere and bull**** alittle and check out your Rally Sport. take care man...thanks

this is what they look like before....

now this is what mine look like blacked out..

That's too bad you can't make the car show. I really don't have a lot of time either, plus I still have to get my liscence (end of May), so I'll have plenty of time to repaint my car and rebuild the engine. Right now, I'm 1/2 way done with polishing my rims, so I should be done in a couple of weeks. Maybe when I get my liscence, I'll see you on the road.
