Wraith, do you no any where, i mean any where else they may sale those things? Please help me oput, I have to have that piece dude. Oh and umm, can you promise me one thing... That if you ever decide to sale yours, that you will let me have first bids on it? Please help me out smoe kind of way. I was about to ask the Motion performance secratary who their manufactorer was that they got the pieces from but guess what.. She hung up on me! Can you believe that? You think I should call back tommarow and ask them that again? Or just please help me out Wraith, or any body!

it's not a corvette part. it's a camaro part. Maybe you were wording the request wrong? i'd try to call back.
I don't know of anyplace else to buy it from.

Hey Wraith, guess what?
Wraith, how can i ever thank you? Dude, when you mentioned the part where you said i may have worded it wrong, I thought about it and yes your right, it is a Camaro part. So, I called Motion back and started off by asking do you sale Camaro parts? She said yes! So then I asked do you have a Corvette Taillight panel. She said...................... YES! Wraith, was it called something like a Z-o panel or something, she said thats what is called, but dude i am so happy now. And you had the exact price, the oanel is $199.95 and the Lens kit is $249.95. Wraith all that I can say to you is Thanks!
I don't mean to be nosy but I was wondering what you were (or have already put-Wraith) this Corvette Tail Panel on. I have often thought the '91 T/A's and Firebird's would look cool tricked-out like a Corvette since the nose resembles one. Thanks and pardon my nosiness...

in order to install mine, i made up some mounting brackets out of a junk set of camaro taillights, and a drilled a few holes as well. It's up to you how you want to mount yours.

that wouldnt work on a 'bird. The camaro has the license plate between the lights. There would be a huge hole where the lock cylinder is located. Even if you fabbed up something to cover it up, i think that would bee too much empty space, and would make it look tacky. just my .02
Did you ever consider that you could take a Camaro rear bumper cover and hatch spoiler pieces and fit it to a Firebird if you really, really wanted that look? Once past the body panels, the exterior difference between Camaros and Firebirds is non-existant.
Some people might object though because it's too "Frankensteinish". I have no opinion either way, just the facts.

I wonder why they didn't put the reverse lights around the license plate like on the Corvette?

All in all, a ton of work. I wouldn't do it to a bird. The factory taillights are sweet on the ta's.
But it was worthwhile to do it to my camaro imo, because it was a direct swap, and i think the factory taillights are ugly.
Vette tail lights
saw a thirdgen down here in orlando with the vette light kit, interesting, but i dont know if it was just a bad kit or a bad install, but i didnt like it.

But putting those lights into a firebird wouldn't exactly be hard. Just cut some sheet metal to fit the tail light area, cut the holes for the vette tail lights and fab up a mount for the tail lights.
