I suppose for ignorant people, that would be closer to what some people consider "rice" since it is a "Asian" part on a "American" car ?
Know what I mean ?

LS1 interior on a LT1 ?
4th Gen seats in a 3rd gen ?
C5 Brake upgrade ?
Porche brake upgrade ?
LS1 taillights on a LT1 ?
Export taillights on a American Z28 ?

Anyways, the rice ordeal... I for one do not think that a hybrid conversion to vette tail lights is rice.... (Some may) Anytime i see a rice comment about something it is usually a custom design or something someone doesnt like, so right off the get go they yell rice! and everyone joins along... Pitiful if you ask me, who cares what other ppl like.
anywas back to the vette tailights. that price is not bad for the euro vette lights.. But will they work on a 93? and is the camaro lettering still going to be there, or shaved? I for one would still like it.

The Euro tails look good, but I think the all red ones look the best.
Screw the backup lights
Whoever did the red Z with the chopped back bumper- that looks pretty cool. One of the things I dont like about these cars is the big overhangs... too much car in front of and behind the rear wheels. The back looks good short like that.
