Stock. Not that the vette lights look bad, the problem is it makes the car look like a wannabe vette. I have always thought the rear ends of camaros could look better, but I'm iffy on the vette tails. Your call on that one.

Camaro tail lights are alright in the third gen style. I like them best with blacked outs it makes the car look really sharp.

As far as vetter lights, that makes it look to "I wanna be a vette"
Myself the camaro tail lights look way better then sticking that thing in back.

My personal view on what camaro taillights should have looked like coming from the factory.



I understand some people will not like this but I don't care Its a bad photojob so suck it

You know you could amost make a look like that by cutting up the blackouts alittle bit, prolly look gay but it might be worth a try to just see what it looks like...........

I kinda just drew them. lol

I modeled them after firstgen camaro/mustang GT500 lights.

They would be a totally custom job if someone were to do it.

like my link with the info says, love them or hate them. I personally like them, and hate the stock taillights. I also think that photoshop job, while better than stock, doesn't do anything for me.

ever since the day i started comming here people have been bitching about how bad 3rd gen camaro tail lights look. heall my brother even does! But i just dont see it. What exactly is so bad with them? I think they great.... just another thing that makes a third gen a third gen.

so 1st gen racer....
when you changing the lights? before the LS-1 the evo kit or the 4th gen interior?

are you going to college or what? how u gona afford these extensive mods?:lala:

Yes i am going to college, i got a full ride, i already have the money set aside for the LS1 because i decided that i am not doing the evo kit(u must have not read down that long in that post)and i already bought the 4th gen interior parts, i just need to find time to work on getting it in. DOnt flame because i want to and AM DOING stuff to my car, its an obsession of mine, i love working on my car, i am always thinking about doing new things to my car to make it look and perform better.
