I've got a stock 2009 VR Z with tint and chrome spyders and am thinking about black out rear tail lights. What do you guys think, is this a worthwhile appearance upgrade ? One issue I've had with red vettes is the lack of contrast with the lights and body color that I love so much with the grey, silver, yellow, and blue cars. I don't want the car to look too "ghetto", but I'm OK with a little "mean".

Any recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

PS: for those who recommend it, what kits are best ?

Do you have a red car ? Did you do the other lights too ?

Thanks !!

I was behind a C6 with blackout tail lights in West Palm Beach. He hit the brakes and I never seen the brake lights come on. Lucky for him, I do not tailgate.
I did not like the lack of contrast on my red C6 so I put these louvres on the tail lights. To each his own

Interesting, the vendors all market them as "brake lights easy to see". You setup looks sweet !

I'm had this same dilemma last summer...whether or not to pull the trigger on the blackout tails with my Victory Red Z. I came to the conclusion that I would be breaking up a matching, clean combination with the red tails, red parking lights, red car. It's uniform, and if I put the blackout kit on, I'd be breaking that uniformity. I think that is one of the reasons why so many black Z's use the blackout kits, so it looks uniform and stealthy. If I had any other color, especially orange or yellow, I would most certainly do that because the red lights don't match orange/yellow paint (not hating those colored cars at all). This doesn't mean that I won't do it eventually, I'm still thinking about pulling the trigger. I'm def. getting rid of the ugly amber parking lights in the front though, the orange and red don't match whatsoever. Hope this helps.
