I dont think that would look good, but only because of the shape of the lights. Now if it had C-5 lights I would jump on it

damnit, i cant believe someone did that already ... i was planning to do a 'secret' bodymod exactly like that cuz i've never seen it done and someone already did it. doh doh doh!!! oh well i like the look but like you guys said, if it used the oval vette lights from the c5 it would look way way better. i have a conversion like this done on my truck (the ZR1 lights in the rollpan) and its pretty cool ... just makes me wish my truck was actually fast. hehe. hey and btw, anyone who plans to buy that keep in mind you will have to fabricate reverse lights ....

Some guy had a similar setup on a blue 91-92 Z28 around here and it looked tacky as hell. To each his own though I guess...

who really needs reverse lights? just wire them up under the bumper somewheres or glue them to your hatch

better yet, use foglights!! it'll make the person glad they're following you, they won't be able to see the rearend of your car anymore and hopefully they'll run into it for you!!

Is it just me, or does anyone agree that Motion Glass makes some of the ugliest crap there is.

Says it doesn't include the ZR-1 lights or the housings which you can easily buy in a junk yard--Yeah right!

well they don't look bad. Remember the body man makes the conversion look right and good. I may buy a set just so I can get the solid panel and make another one using the oval lights. Or even make thin slotted lights...

Hey Demon Z28, It's strange you mentioned having foglights for reverse lights because that's exactly what I have in my Jeep CJ7 back home. They are wired up to work as reverse lights and can also be switched on manually via switch on the dash. The primary purpose of having those lights back there is teach a lesson to those irritating ****** in cars with xenon lights who insist on using the main beam all the time. Had to quit doing that though, after my brother got chased and shot at by some dumba$$.
