Installed black out kit!!!
So I installed the z06 spoiler a couple of days ago and today came the black out kit for the taillights. Peel and stick! Thanks Pete from Empire Corvettes. What do you guys think?

Looks good. Dunno about the gts logo. If you wanted. You could take the light out of the spoiler. Spray a few light coats of gloss black. Then clear and have a blacked out center light too. The LEDs still shine really bright.
Like the look though.

"Monster", as you probably know, is spelled with one "t", not two. Taillights and high mounted third brake light lenses are required by law to be red, not black, illuminated or not, if your car is driven on public roads. If someone "rear ends" your car they will have grounds to sue you for very large amounts of money because you intentionally reduced the visibility and intesity of your taillights and/or brake lights by installing the subject "black out" kit, and your personal automobile insurance might be null and void because of your unlawful automobile modifications. Other than that, your car looks, well, interesting.

looks great but yeah now you need to blackout 3rd brake and reverse lights. i used something similar to the vht nightshades in spray can works great and way cheaper than plastic covers.
