i found this in another post in this forum a while back
looks alright

PontiacRacing

Yup, those are the Mustang euros IROC2NV has on his car. I think they look so much better than the stock tail lights.

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure those are photoshopped

PontiacRacing

Yeah those are Photoshopped, the ones IROC2NV actually has are the black version.

Avenger007

they actually make those lights for our cars? and in black?

They are not a direct fit. You will have to fab them and make them fit.

i wish someone mill make some cool taillights like that for our cars but this guy is making custom taillight kits i e-mailed them and they said they should be done in a month or so heres the link http://www.camarokits.com/info.htm

PontiacRacing

I wish he'd post a picture of what they look like, however considering pretty much everything else has on there looks tacky, I don't have too much faith in the tail light kit. I think we should start a petition for APC or some other company to make euros for our car. I'm not sure how many people here I could get to sign it, but its worth a try.

euro's on a camaro=RE *** damn DICULOUS...icky...why would you make a muscle car look like a ***** eyed R I C E burner???makes no sense...thats like wipin before you poop, just don't make sense...i feel sorry for any camaro or firebird that has to go through with a custom fabrication of cheap plastic and fake chrome taillights...

Well he did what he wanted and he likes the look, so good for him. Save us all the hating because we've all heard it a million times. We all know there are alot of people out there that dont like that look. Please spare us from having to read about it some more. Thank you.

I believe the ones he put on there were the Carbon Fiber ones, so they match much better with his paint. Instead of the chrome reflective stuff its black. I cant say I'm a fan of those style taillights either, but I respect the ammount of work it took to get them on there, as well as the rest of the work that has gone into that car.

At one point I wanted to do something crazy like that too, but I could not justify the cost. I didnt want to use taillights from another car, instead I wanted to have a shop make me metal enclosures that mounted just like the OEM pieces. Then I wanted to make my own design cutouts in those enclosures and use LED lights (like the sport trucks do). But the shops that put out good work were asking a little too much to make em for me so I said forget it. Instead I decided to get my hands on a large number of stock 91-92 taillights and go crazy with DIY LED mods and weird experimentations.

spearson

anyway you could post a picture of how they look with the lights on, especially the blacked out part?

iroc2nv

APC wont even listen to you. I have tried on numerous occasions and they pretty much told me to go f**k myself and they will never make any..

plus..the apc tails are **** anyways, they leak and fog up...trust me, the ones i did put on my iroc were apc ones and i had nothing but trouble until i drilled some 1/16 holes in the bottom of the light ..now they are perfect

I think that the factory lights like graboid has are more attractive than the grids. I think that first pic with the vette lights are okay, I definitely think it would look better with only one spoiler. If I had to choose which spoiler, I would go with the 91-92 aero or the "mini aero" like my 88 sport coupe has on it. IMO, that would look okay.

tamatt27

Mine are semi-custom. As far as I know, I'm the only one who's done this.

Won't work much for 'Maros though....

irocbirdbuilder

Personally i love the look iroc 2nv has, dont care for the vette look since all the custom trucks have em think its overdone, blackouts look good if sprayed i had avs black outs on mine for a long time but after awhile thought they looked kinda cheesy on my car. I prefer good old polished stocks, during the month and a half mine was in getting painted i spent alot of time polishing my taillights and reworking the border on my custom clear fronts, kandied i think had told me to polish the tails since it looks cleaner, and i did and am very happy

I dunno, alot of people I know around here are loving the '80's.

I personally like my car looking like a 22 year old car. If I wanted it to look like a newer car I'd sell my cars and go buy and drive a new car.

PontiacRacing

Maybe we could try some other company like TYC, I'm sure if we could get enough people to express interest some company might consider it.

slammed_z

i know that if enough ppl request to have custom taillights made they will start...they just dont wanna do it if only say 10 ppl wanted some...im not sure on how many ppl u need tho......even try ractive or ya tyc..

slammed_z

i think the best tails for are cars would be the all clear tails..like are reverse lenses colour..someone photochopped it in one of these threads i though it looked really good

91rsowner4life

this is what i really want to do to a set of taillights

slammed_z

thats what i really wanted to do to

Back when I had my Dodge Daytona I considered modding my taillights like this guy did. Basically, he just took the reflectors out and stuff. Maybe something like that can be done here...

klumb15

iTrader: (1)

that looks awesome...i wonder how hard it is to do....

PontiacRacing

It would be pretty sweet if someone did make some clears like that for our car. Those tail lights on the Daytona look kind of cheap. They like exactly like what they are tail lights with the lenses removed.

TheGreatJ

Here ya go.

klumb15

iTrader: (1)

there we go! now those are awesome...should've used some black rivets or whatever there....that looks awesome tho...

TheGreatJ

They're allen-head bolts. I agree, they would have looked better black.

It doesn't matter now as I ended up pulling them off the car. The turn signals weren't quite bright enough to see in full daylight through the blackouts and a couple of the local cops liked to harass me about it (although they never actually DID anything.)

Re-doing the turn signals is another project I haven't gotten around to yet.

i dont know but those look AWESOME for some reason.

I really like the clear look with clear parking and sidemarker lights on a white camaro...think it would look sweet

id like to see another photoshop on a farther away picture those look cool.

Thundering Z03

Here's mine. Nothing really special I guess, but I've not seen any done this way around my area.

OutLaw305

Those are beautiful. Any idea on how you would construct those? If i couldnt build em, i would most def shell out hard cash for a nice set like those.

91rsowner4life

well heres some custom taillights that he just got done with i do not know about these i was wanting some thing alittle diffrent

slammed_z

i somewhat like them..but i doubt i would ever do those

91rsowner4life

i would have to see them on a stock camaro with out that body kit to see if i would buy them

tsb09000

I like that they are painted to match the car but to me they look like blackouts with trailer lights screwed to them. I'd have to see more pics before I make my final decision.
On the other hand, I really like the all clear/white taillight chop, especially on a white car

z28kindaguy

Seeing this thread makes me realize that GM did a great job with styling these stock tailights. Aftermarket = Puke

MurcoRS

I'm digging that look and was thinking about doing that myself! Did you section them?

vindeezl

iTrader: (2)

I am wondering the same thing too! Those look GREAT and that's exactly what I want to do.

Do you have to unbolt / cut / split the tailight to paint the amber from inside, or is it painted from the outside?

TwinTurboROC

You know i was thinking about that but with the euro c5 lights

tornado

wow those look awsome, dose anyone know how to do that???

Zrated83

iTrader: (17)

Thanks guys. What I did was take the taillights apart and painted the amber sections from the inside. There are 2 or 3 little small clips on the top part of the taillights. Just remove those then carefully pry apart the taillight. They are held together by some type of adhesive. Thats basically how the taillights come apart. Not to hard, just take your time so you dont crack them. I painted them with testors transparent candy apple red paint.

iTrader: (1)

Were those clear tails photoshopped or are they real, and if so, how were they done ?

Teal91rs

Yikes that looks nasty i think that takes the cake for the most tasteless thirdgen ive ever seen

Stevo

iTrader: (45)

91rsowner4life

92Transam

tamatt27
