Blackout Lenses
Gang,
Who makes good quality blackout tail light lenses? Not the kind that stick on with velcro or sticky tape but real plastic smoke lenses that mount in place of the OEM lenses.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Supporting vendor, PFYC. They are made by GTS. I have them on the front of my '04, and they look great, especially combined with the black powder coated screens from VnM. One note of warning. These front blackouts come with GTS stickers that take some time to remove.

(use black covers and black reflectors)
[Edit: Oops, just noticed you are looking for taillight blackouts! They can also be found on the PFYC site.]

Cscokd,
I don't think you would want to replace the OEM lenses. They still have to show red when you step on the brakes. I bought a set of carbon fiber from Mid America and carefully drilled holes to match the stock locations. Then I bought some black sheet rock screws from Home Depot that were the same size as the stock screws but a little longer, and installed the black out lenses over the stock. Worked out real well but you have to be real careful when you remove those damn velcro pads. - C.
