Sorry but I don't care for them personally. I bought export taillights myself.

Re: Carbonfiber Tail lights.

no along with the clear tail lights i think they should be banned because they belong on imports.

I’m trying to determine how they would look I have a dark green 95-Z and was trying to visualize painting the back panel in satin black, adding an RK Sports three peace spoiler in satin black. Adding real carbon fiber CAMARO letters from RK Sports to the real panel and then finally adding these lights.

Can anyone visualizes these mods and give me some opinions?

On page five there are some rear shots of my car.

Here is the RK Sports Spoiler I'm thinking about: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0402phr_dress/

Re: Carbonfiber Tail lights.

I don't think it will look to bad. But you seem to have a Green/Chrome/Black theme going. I would stick to that. If it were me I'd do the panel black and put the 3D Chrome lettering, like I have on my car. Keep the chrome emblem as well. On the the 3 piece spoiler, I might add a thin pinstripe that is silver or chrome going all the way across from one side to the other. Towards the back raised lip.

I saw a pick of a Maro that was Gold/Black theme and it had that stripe on that type of spoiler, and man it looked great. But you will have a lot of black going on if you do this, towards the back of the car. To me it won't seem even. So to help even it out I would do the chrome letter thing and maybe the stripe. But that's just me. You have to do what makes you happy. Oh and maybe you should get some overlays from Brent for your Bowtie emblem in front and the nose one as well. I did it to mine and I love it. Plus it will keep your theme going. Just my .02

PS--I got my 3 piece spoiler off of Ebay for like $98 shipped!! Brand New and primered. The quality is very good. No one can tell the difference. Just a thought.

Hey man thanks a lot. I really appreciate the feed back, I guess I have some thinking to do but those are some really good suggestions. I never thought about the pinstripe on the spoiler and I was almost ready to pay RK Sports 250 bucks for their three piece spoiler. Oh, and I love your ride, real clean and very sharp. Like the set covers as well, I saw those on e-bay but didn’t know if they would look good so I hesitated, I’ll buy them now tough.

Te front Bowtie emblem now gone altogether so the nose grill area now is all black, sometimes less is more if you know what I mean. And as for the nose badge, I got the carbon fiber overlay from Brent which looks much better with my silver green black theme.

Anyway, thanks again, your suggestions really helped.

Re: Carbonfiber Tail lights.

I had blackouts on my taillights for over a year and they warped my stock taillights. Not cool.

That is an aluminum polished ball. I love the way it looks. I got it along with a short throw stick. This guy sells just the ball ***** in different colors! Or just the stick or both. If you don't see a combo or color you like you can ask him and I think he can set you up with something. But the polished one goes with everything. Here ya go:

This is the exact kit I bought. It's very good quality, the ball is heavy. In the summer it gets hot!
