if you did honey combs, i wouldn't tint them. they look great stock. i would consider the honey sticker on the reverse, or black that out.

I thought about doing honeycombs on the the LT1, but after seeing that the going rate is 250 bucks for the set, I think that its worthless to put up that much money to replace working/flawless taillights ...

first ill use the word formy if i want to... and i hear what your ssayen deadtread and there really isnt any malfunction with my lights... but in the last year they have started to get the condensation inside them when it rains like most of them do after some time... its not alot but still looks bad hah.... thanks for the imput... after i posted this i realized that my car isnt going to stay black forever so i dont think i want to black out honeycombs cuase it might not look so good on a diff color...although the black outs look good on your car adam and thats green... so ya never know... maybe on a lighter color it wont look so hot...

yea, i wasn't meaning to come off rude and tell you not to do them. Just for me, personally, its money that can be spent elsewhere.
I went to more expensive way to get honeycomb tailights and bought a whole car to go with it.

I've always been a fan of a smooth tail light where the center section is cleared as well. A nice polished look will give it a one piece look.

it depends on the overall theme but pretty much any car can pull off black outs. stock honeycombs look great though!

I think a set of honeycombs lightly tinted (not the reverse lights though) would look the best.

I think Justin is right. A light tint would go well with the little bit of red that is on the car and still not be so flashy that it stands out.

Why does everyone swap their tail lights to honeycombs? I love the look of the LT1 grid lights, especially when their lit up.

^^^^ what the hell do you need pics for... you know what the diff lights look like... i like the grid lights too but i still think the honey combs look a little more fitting on the car... grid lights make it look like its trying to be a thirdgen...
