blackouts

I was thinking about putting blackouts on the head an taillights on my Z28. Does ne body have them on theres or has ne 1 seen what they look like. I was just wondering. Also i was wondering what you thought about putting the chrome stirp over the tire wells (if it would look good on teal)

thnx

Fender flares are ugly and quite tacky. It won't look good on a teal Camaro, or a black Camaro, or a red Camaro, or... well, you get the idea. Got any pics of your ride man?

Personally I don't care for the regular front covers, so I made my own.
But the rear ones I really like.
As for the chrome fender trim, to me it looks really out of place on a Camaro no matter what the color is but that is just my opinion, so do what pleases you!!

Here is a shot of my taillight blackouts:

Hey Mark- the blackouts look sweet, but do cops ever bother you about them. Ever get any tickets?

My tint is also illegal, unless the fact a hatch back is considered the same as a truck rear window, trucks can have them blacked out. I have been pulled over 2 times in this car. One for supposedly running a red light and the other 47 in a 35. Neither time did the cops say anything. The one cop never got me from behind though. I say as long as you don't act like a fool or speed then the cops won't bother you. Of course there's always one or 2 that like to be ******.

Black car...?

Anyone have all around blackout on a black car? I'd really like to see it on a black car..


How do the front headlight ones stay in place? Do they just lay there or can you screw them in or what? I -really- want to get the front ones at the very least... the back is iffy... but it does look sweet...

You have to be careful with the front ones, they are known to fly off. Also I think using niteshade on the front and side turn signals looks good.
