Did my tail lights and reverse lights today. I haven't put the clear coat on yet...and in fact I'm kinda loving the satin finish look for the time being.

I like the dark look with the black letters on the rear.

I just don't understand why the "blackout craze"....IMHO it cheapeans the look of the car, it is a safety issue, and it is against the law.

Let's see what else JC Whitney sells to put on Corvettes.....may I suggest a big "ironing board" rear spoiler.....chrome fender wells.....how bout some Landau bars!!! Yeah, thats the ticket......

but I guess if that is what is going to make you happy.

Plus the black out LED's are brighter than stock.
