Question What tail light blackouts to get?

One of mine fell off so I need to buy a new set.

I know GTS is no longer around. So what's the best manufacturer to buy from? Looking for 93-02 Camaro tail light blackouts

Personally I would get VHT night shades and tint them...
But if you want blackouts I heard "WADE" brand are good.
I think Jeg's sells them

I have a set of tailblazer blackouts for sale. These are good because they don't trap heat and warp the taillights like some blackouts have been known to do.

Pics of the tailblazers in my sig. (Page 4 and 5 I believe).

IMO, don't get AVS. The AVS don't appear as dark as the GTS ones while at the same time they barely let through any light! The GTS are darker and allow more light through than the AVS.

Also, I do believe GTS is back in business but maybe under a different name?

I looked on Summit's site and did not see anything new.

I don't want trail blazers. Don't wanna spray them with VHT either.

The only ones I saw were the AVS. I will probably end up getting those

At one point (a number of years ago) I had both the AVS and GTS taillight covers. The GTS were more of a BLACK color where as the AVS were more of a smoked color. During the day, with the AVS, you could barely see my brake lights or turn signals. The GTS allowed MUCH more light through especially during the day. I've had them side by side and the GTS let through noticeably more light.

Like I said though, this was several years ago... maybe AVS has changed their plastics a bit?
