This is no Kit car. There's no oscillating red light on the nose and she doesn't talk to me. Well, sometimes she growls but doesn't speak. Personally, I think it has a stealthy look to it and like it a lot. As they say, to each his own.

I've never seen them on a pewter vette but would think it wouldn't look very good. Of course one never knows until they actually see it. Maybe the next time I see CAJUNY2KC5 we can place the tail light covers on his and snap a pic.

Thanks Jim. Yeah, I know man, wish I could have made it but had other obligations.

No one got lost? I take it you weren't leading then?

I still need those rocker rails. Unless, you've already got them installed.

Here it is on Pewter! But I think you need to black out the license plate also.

a really pretty vette, very clean. BUT when you put black-outs over the tail lights you increase the risk of getting rear-ended. i, for one don't want a SUV bumper to hit me in the back of my head. think about it, we are so lo now that we get hit pretty often without doing ANYTHING that would raise the odds of getting hit

Nope they're not on the car yet. I'm just collecting stuff to put on the car. Give me a shout and I'll bring 'em over.

We need a tech day at Fletcher's so we can get all this stuff done.

The illumination through these are just fine. My wife was very skeptical about me doing this until she followed behind me and said she didn't notice any diminished illumination.
