VHT Nightshade vs LS1 Tailights (pics anyone)

Trying to decide if i should VHT nightshade my tailights, or buy some LS1 tailights. Car is an Arctic white 95 z28, and my corner lenses have already been smoked. I plan on doing tint soon as well. Any opinions?

Keep the lt-1 lights and leave the reverse clear so it flows w/ the lines of the hatch...that would look very clean and match up w/ the front of your car since its smoked. My .02

I love the VHT Niteshade that I did on my car. I didnt completely black them out but I pick niteshade, and its also probably cheaper than LS1 tailights too.

I've seen some lt1s with those kind of tail lights, and I'd have to say that they would just look better completely smoked.

And to the OP, definitely dont buy some ls1 taillights. the lt1 look better anyways.

I have just always used regular black spray paint on tailights and turn signals. 2 really light coats normally does a good job of blacking out the lights but still lets colored light shine out...
