Default Custom Tail Light Covers/Louvers

Does anyone know of a shop that can make a custom design tail light cover/louver? The stuff offered in the catalogues I've seen are all the same. 1 bar, 3 bar, etc.

If you've seen Nitro UKs tail lights that sounds like good advice

I'll give it a look, and if it turns out to be something cool, I'll try to post pics of the finished product.
Thanks

I'm currently in discussion with Vetteorama, check out their website, and so far they have the best idea for the tail light covers that fit the style I'm after. They are VERY prompt in returning inquiries be it by phone or Email. And their quote is reasonable too!! I'll keep you posted on the results when things are finalized and when they arrive.
Thanks for all the input. Corvette Forum is the BEST.

Vetteorama is in the process of making a set of tail light covers for me. Should have them in a few weeks.
If I can figure out how to add pics to the posts, I'll show the results.
