Tail Lights

Okay got a 91 Camaro RS, I HATE the tail lights I think they are the ugliest things. I know I'm not the only one. LOL!! Has anyone done any kind of tail light swap?? Wondering if theres any out there that can be done. I've been told Corvette tail lights, but seems that would be quite a bit of work to swap them over to that.

yeah, which tails you got? I am pretty sure that changing the tails would be pretty difficult. Maybe take a look at the taillight covers. They look allright on some cars.

i was thinking of taken my taillights to a metal shop and have them cut metal to fit them perfect. then cut out three bowtie on each side on for each light. im sure it would cost alittle bit it should be well worth it. it would more and likely me cheap then corvette ones.

I'm assuming they are called the "grid" tail lights, Not 100% on the proper name for them other than stock tail lights on a 91 Camaro RS. I LOVE the look of the corvette tail lights, think I might be sold on that one.

To the wraith: IF i do decide to go with this swap would you mind helping a girl out if I have any questions on them???

If you just want a subtle change, you can try painting them red.

This is photoshopped:
