Default Tinted tail covers

Yes, i know i should take them off properly and tint them but im a bit slammed at my shop right now. And i simply dont have time to do it. Does anyone have this on their car? would like to see how it looks, thanks!

I personally don't like them blacked out. But it's your car. Do it right if your gonna do it.

NO!!! They look horrible in person in my opinion... like the car is trying to be a modded Pontiac. They literally lay flat over the whole tail light.
The ones I bought were actually on Amazon thru Southern Car parts. Search: "2014-2017 C7 Corvette Molded Acrylic Tail lights Blackout Lens Package for Taillights" They were $250, but I think the quality and they are contoured to the point that to look at them they look completely stock.. except that the are dark instead of white

Here they are versus mine.... I'm telling U.. the flat ones looks tacky. I kno there is a price gap of $150.. but seriously worth it on a car that U spent up to $110K on

Here are mine. There are two vendors who make the molded tail light blackouts. One vendor is GS Creations and the other is RPI Designs. RPI has the cheaper set and the molds are very good.

My post #3 has a list of relevant threads. The one entitled "Blackout taillight before and after picks" is a good one.
