My new tail light covers



for some reason it is see through in the pic on the left one. its not like that in person though lol.

over all im satisfied with these. got them from CA took maybe a week tops. though the thing bothering me is that at night, when you see the light shine through, u can really see the tape. and the way the manufacturer put it on is sloppy.

other then that i think it looks great with orange.

probably gotta get rid of the AVS logo on it and take off my italian flag plate holder and put a c/f or black one.

A quick Swipe with goof off takes the AVS off, But be quick, I rubbed and had to wet sand them to get them shiny again

Make sure they put flex material in the paint. Then paint the insides with just a brush and model paint replace the tape with new good stuff and ready to go.
I had to piant the inside of the cover because light was coming through and looked tacky.

No problems with the cops at all. I am thinking about getting the GM spray paint and doing something similar to the sidemarkers.

I bought them from cobal-addiction and had the body shop paint them. Cost about $120 to get painted. I had them put flex material in the paint like they do to bumpers so that the paint doesn't crack. I also used model paint and painted the inside of the covers black so that light would not show through the paint. I also replaced the tape because the tape on the covers were crap. Cost around $200 total, but well worth it. I think that they look awesome on the car.
