Now, how hard would they be to replace?
However, I'm not sure this is such a great idea as the amber/front and red/rear color coding provides useful information to other drivers at night regarding the direction of your car. This is almost certainly set by federal and state regulations. It's not that anyone is likely to notice and give you a ticket, just that it's a change that isn't functional. (Of course, I'm the guy who also thinks that tints over tail and marker lights are similarly a bad idea--so factor that in when evaluating my opinion.)

Color Decision
Anyone have the Watkins Glen Gray with the factory red dual racing stripe package? The picture generated by the Chevy build site looks pretty sweet, especially with the two tone black/red interior. I'm getting ready to order a Grand Sport and keep going back and forth between this gray/red combo and the Long beach Red with the carbon flash stripes. I was all set on the LBR, until I saw it in a cloudy day. As much as it pops in the sun, it's dull as hell in the shade. I've seen pictures of actual cars with the LBR/carbon flash stripes, but not the WGG/red stripe combo. If it looks as good as the Chevy site rendering, then I'll probably go with it.
