    People still make those??

    Of all the ones I have ever seen, they never covered the center panel and looked pretty stupid IMO with that left alone.

    A better alternative IMO is VHT Nightshades. I have used it numerous times on more than one of my cars and some friends vehicles. The stuff is very easy to use (if you have any spray paint experience at all) and you can control how dark you want the lights to be.

    Light passes through them much better than the old covers and lasts for years. You will need to spray a good automotive gloss clearcoat on them afterwards because the VHT dries flat.

          Yeah, I remember GTS, had them on an SL many years ago lol.

          All i can remember seeing from them is the end pieces and not the center panel. The more I think about it , that was on first gens.

          Also remember, most of the taillight/center panel stuff is held on by velcro on those kits. That is easy to steal and can come off on the highway,etc..

          I am not knocking on your choice any, I am just giving my opinion (from experience) that the spray method looks better and functions better.

                  i kno its not the same car but an idea. and yea they are on by velcro wich sux cuz you gotta worry about them falling off and you get a nice 1/2 inch gap between them. if you just paint them its cheaper and easier.
