They're not my thing, but if you like it that's all that matters.

I like the stock original tail lights. To me the add on lights, Lick and stick spoilers etc have to much JC Whitney flavor. Just my opinion.

Not something I would spend money on and don’t care about the sequential signals. Aestheically, I think they look good. Looks kinda like the Ford GT’s tail lights.

I like it. I have a black 2011 ZR1 so this is a great preview. Still waiting on mine to arrive and may do the same mod when the light come.

Was this a DIY or did you have it professionally done?

I like it. Painted the centers? What was the process for that?

Yes, painted centers. I did not like the way they looked with the red reflectors. Spray black base coat centers of taillights. Carefully wipe away over spray from the outside of the center with reducer. Spray taillight with tinted clear coat.

Looks fantastic on your gray car. Would likely look awesome on black and white Vettes, too.

They look great on your car and tie-in quite well with the colors on your car!

Really a big improvement with the darkened centers.

Very nice. I would FUBAR this mod so may have to pay to have it done.

I wouldve kept the entire outer 2nd ring and just smoked out the middle circle piece. Looks sweet though👍🏼👍🏼

Love it! I really like the black center/lightly smoked outer ring on black vettes for the subtle contrast it gives.

I think it looks good on your car, thing looks wicked.

I am more curious where you got the "supercharged" raised letters?
