Default Does anyone know of a good FULL Blackout kit for a C5?

Hi All,

I can't seem to find any good molded blackout kits for my C5. I'm looking to blackout my central brake light, reverse lights, and rear fender reflectors. All I've been able to find so far are flat lexan panels that won't fit right, and thin films that I'm concerned will peel or warp over time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Seems like you'd want people to SEE YOU, all the black put stuff I've seen on other cars made them a giant target.

I have a set and, I am running stock lights and had my son follow me and he had no issues seeing the brake lights during the day.
I cannot remember the vendor, but he is located here in Florida if I remember correctly. I'll see if I can locate him for you.

Here is the rear of mine.


I also have the blackouts on the front.


I found the link to his site.

The only ones I've ever seen are the flat ones which I have and they fit fine. Got them on eBay for 65$. I also made my own cover for the reverse lights/rear license plate all in one. As far as the side markers on the quarter panels the vht niteshades spray tint is what I used and the only thing I've seen. If you don't want to use the flat covers you could use niteshades on all the lights.

My concern as well. I really like the look and it would look great on my black '00 FRC but am worried if people will be able to see the brake lights in day light.
