Whistler...make C5 taillights fit Camaros!
I was just reading about the Targa Top Camaro, which is absolutely by far the best camaro i've ever seen, between the custom nose and the targa. Anyway i used to have an IROC with C4 taillights (still have the taillight kit, but not the IROC, pics are in the link in my sig.). i always wanted to put C5 taillights on my 95 Z28. i never knew who to talk to about this until i saw your work, and it looks like you may be the one to ask...can you make a mold??

I can tell you now, from a profit stand point the C5 lights kit to replace the factory lens only would probably go over big. If you were to make a complete rear piece(s), elimate the hump on the rear bumper like the Callaway C8 kit does. http://www.callawaycars.com/Carsforsale/'94%20C8/94C8rear.jpg

I was thinking just a piece that fits into the taillight hole because of cost. we could just go to the dealer to get the lenses/fixtures. how much $ do you think you could make a mold for? do you think there would be enough profit/interest in making these?

The rear tailights are not big enough to fit the vette tailights, and if you could they would be way to close together. the best bet for that would be to remake the rear Valance panel with the CAMARO embossed in it. That way you would not be limited by the shape of the stock tailights. It would probably be easier as well. While your at it you might as well redesign the whole rear bumper to get rid of the massive overhang, a-la the Calloway rear bumper, but with different tailights, and without those nasty side vents. That would be sweet! PHOTOSHOP TIME!! I'll post pics when I am done!
