Looks good.

I had GTS tail light blackouts on my Z and light came through just fine. I now have AVS blackouts on there and light still shines thru great. This is a 4th gen Camaro, btw.

I will be using the VHT on my 2nd car because no one makes tail light blackouts for it

I have ordered the stuff through O'Reilly Auto Parts (if you have one local) a few times - only like $8 bucks a can - way cheaper than $13 + $8 for shipping.
Thats great that you could find it way cheaper in your area.. i couldnt find it around here. I had seen some guys with camaro's use Niteshades so i thought why couldnt I use it on my firebird

i was worried at first because ( to me ) cops around here pull you over because they cant see the lights during the daytime. You know ... you hit the brake and they see nothing. So i painted the lenses first and checked the brightness during the day and it was just as bright as it was before. So i did the tailights and they are just as bright as they were before. So i think you wouldnt have a problem. I also think someone on this board said they messed up once and had to remove the stuff and was actually successfull in removing it. What he used to remove it tho is beyond me.

You could probably remove it with acetone. So your saying the niteshades allows the same amount of light threw as a normal tailight....even at night? I really want to do this but I want to make sure that its legal
