Default GS Creations-Tinted tails

When I had my 2014 GS was a bit "beat down" with the long promised dark tail light molded plastic style...I have been out of the Vette real for a year or better I noticed he still is selling them on his web site..this is a 2 parter
- Can anyone share their experience with both GS and the product (please no speculation this ain't Oprah

-Beyond the white lens of the Z06 tail conversion has ther been any other successful methods used ( Night shade spray ect..)

I love the look, have the Cflash badge package and would love them to blend in a lil more...would not bother my world in the least if I do nothing ..just curious...

Had mine gel-coated/baked/polished. I had the guy who did these put a much lighter shade on the backup lights.

Thanks for the response. They use UHB tape so they are put on stay on ?? Also do they have a good seal to prevent water and dirt to get behind ??
Thanks

My GS lenses have been on for 10 months now and they are holding fine. Yes, dirt and water get behind them, but the dirt just washes out and I've never had an issue with them drying weird or leaving spots. They look good and I like them. If I hadn't bought and installed them already, I probably would have gone the route Patches went though.

Well... I popted for them... Went back and forth.. I looked at both JNnick & Davidtcpa 's back end and I just like the contrast and the fact that the effect is global on the whole lens.if I do not like them ...out they go . I will give my 2 cents after they settle in ...thanks for your comments and experiences it is what I missed being a part of...

I went subtle on mine because I'm in Kali and don't want to push my luck. I have already gotten fix-it tickets for my tint and no front plate on my Mini Cooper so I kept the tint in the midrange this time. The guy who does mine can go as light or as dark as you want and he charges a lot less for ALL your lights, including front and rear side markers, than for what the GS overlays go for.

Here are my C5 lights that were done by Richard as well. This was in Indiana where the local gendarmes were more lenient.

Wow, your C5 looks fantastic Patches! Is that the finished product or are you still working on it?

That was pre-mod. Trying to finish it up, though.
