Tail light Cover, who has them?
 

Does anyone out there have tail light covers on there monte? I was thinking about maybe getting some and wanted to see a couple cars with them on to see if I liked it. If you have them could you post some pictures?

Welcome to MCF Jim. I haven't seen one with pictures yet, but you might be able to find some pics on ebay with them or at one of the major aftermarket sellers like summit racing.

i've seen them on a couple black monte's before...they look really cool

but remember this, if you get rear ended it is your fault(according to the law) and you could be charged by the driver that hits you...i've seen this happen so many times...

i like the look of them..but its not worth it...i even conisidered getting the ones with the ram head cut out of them for my dakota when i had it..but i was told it was the same thing...anything hindering any view of the lights is a problem

i used "smoke spray" on my taillights, it gives them the dark look but when the light comes on it shines through like theres nothing there. awesome look cheap to do and looks great

We sell that at work, called nightshades. I used it on my very first 2dr coupe (Chevy Beretta) It looked excellent,and hardly affected the light transmission at all. The most noticable change was during the daytime the running lights didn't stick out as well, but I never had anyone complain about the visibility of the lights. And I had been pulled over by the police with it on, and they never mentioned it at all.

Big difference from the taillight covers because one, it's flat black instead of glossy, which imho looks better, and also, it allows a lot more light to shine through. I had a friend that had a black IROC Camaro and had those. He got pulled over for it lots of times, but never got a ticket. I think theyjust wanted to look at the car, lol!

Yes...I have seen them on PFYC.comfor about $50. They are smoked acrylic that still allow light to show through. I plan on getting them myself, but I intend to cut out the slots for full opening and have them painted body colour (mine is silver like the one shown here).

yah those look really good when they're painted to match the car..i would just be worried about getting rear ended still

RE: Tail light Cover, who has them?
 

Well, as long as they are DOT approved in your area, getting rear-endedwill not result in acitation. Just have to check the laws in your neck o' the woods.

Idon't see there beingan issue with my plans to cut out the slots (Yay Dremel tool!!) because then the whole lighted area of each bulb will be visible.

RE: Tail light Cover, who has them?
 

Yeah I saw them on PFCY and was also going to cut the slots out and pain them black to matck my car. I think it would look pretty cool.

RE: Tail light Cover, who has them?
 

Exactly. They would look great on a black Monte with body-matched paint. If they had a black monte in LT trim when I bought mine, I would have gotten it instead.

I have similar ones to Bigg J, except mine came silver, actually they were on the car when I bought it.

Oh, and MassiveDB, I did find some stuff other than the junk you find on ebay.Carriage works makes a grille and you can order it brushed alum (great for painting, or whatever) and chrome. Don't worry because they're website doesn't show it, btw it's http://www.carriageworksinc.com/

If you buy a Oreilly special order catalog or call carriage works I'm sure they'll be able to get it for ya.

Other than that, some Euro-style LED taillights, and the occasional ebay partthere isn't much out there. Good luck in your search, and if you do have good luck, be sure to share it with the rest of us!!!
