I like the looks but tend not to bother. I also dig tinted windows but since its illegal in the state as its too dangerous for policemen...I respect that law as well.
The blackout done correctly is nice. Same for the tint..I'll obey the laws in my state to avoid any issue..
The corvette is screaming loud enough as it is.

I have a black 2010 GS & installed Eagle Eye, led tails. they were plenty bright through the black out covers. Unfortunately the glue that held them on loosened in the heat. They were kind enough to send me new glue, but I have yet to re-install them. Afraid its just one more reason to get pulled over. That being said, a buddy was behind me at night and commented on how bright the tails were and that may cause as issue with LEO. Everything else is blacked out, I kind of like the big bright LED's in red. They have a sparkle to them.

To clarify where I am coming from, I am damn near an anarchist and a proper Texan, and despise many rules, regulations, policies, and laws.
And, from even that perspective, this is one of the more naive comments about laws and their enforcement that may ever have been written. And, it completely disregards the fact that many laws and regulations are written precisely for the purpose of forcing change.

As someone who's held a TS govt. clearance since 1987, I could tell you a lot of things that would make you feel very naive.

There's hundreds of terrible laws out there and I choose to follow the ones I agree with. I run 5% tint on my cars, all windows but the windshield. Even though it's technically illegal here in AZ we're not bothered much because the smart cops know it's another dumb law.

That law is such BS. You telling me that tinted windows are more dangerous in NJ than in AZ or FL for cops? Right...

Anyone know the difference between the eagle eye LED tails vs the supervettes LED tails?
Couldn't one just purchase eagle eye LED tails and night shade them with night shade film that allows light OUT but no light in?

Sorry for the super late reply, I never noticed you asked a question. It's just Night Shades spray tint. It took a lot of wet sanding and buffing to get those results though. One can't expect to just spray them and be done.
