Jason, did you even bother to look at these? They are not taillight covers but a smoked bezel. They appear very similar to '70 Boss 302 bezels when installed.
No I didn't see those. Sorry. All I saw was the tail light covers.
I'd really like to see how they look on an actual car. I'd be very interested in getting a set if they don't have that plastic look like they do in the picture.

Kevin, that looks really good. Totally wouldn't work on my car... trying to leave as much black as possible... but looks great on yours.
Thanks! I thought about possibly getting black, but since I have the billet grille I figured it would go better with the chrome.

I received mine today. They are made by Auto Vent Shade and are smoked/translucent. I plan on painting them with SEM trim paint (semi-gloss black) before installing. I'll try to post a pic this weekend if all goes well.

David, I got them from Auto Krafters (check out my earlier post on this thread). They are made by Auto Ventshade. Price was $59.95 plus $10 S&H. Thanks for the compliments!

I like the one's Donna has, but the one's from Auto Vent Shade look too bulky for my taste. JMO

The Ebay chrome ones are simply your standard chrome trim strips that you can buy and cut to size from most any autoparts store. I bought them off ebay as well. They do look good, but if you want to do it yourself you can probably do it cheaper if you just buy a roll of the stuff and cut it yourself. I'd rather have someone else do the other junk for me so I went to ebay. They really make the tail lights pop out and I love them. Hope someone comes out with a one piece deal later though. These look great until you get up real close and see they are not one piece.

That is exactly my thinking as well.

I did the same thing but I bought it from pepboys for 12 bucks....it is just the wheel well molding that they sell for trucks, you can buy the pack for $12 and there is enough to do 3 cars if you are conservative with you cuts. I know because I was really picky when doing it with how good I wanted it to look so I did it three times.

Not too bad. I like the way those look. They really separate the lamp sections out better than stock. It'll look killer with a blacked out Xenon tail panel.

yes thats exactly what it is....its made by 3M and they sell it in a roll at any parts shop. this guy selling this stuff on ebay must be making a killing. the thing is though if you want a perfect tight fit in the two verticle center lines you need to buy a second set that is slightly wider because they are wider than the outside edge. although the one size only leaves the smallest of gaps on either side of the molding in the center lines.

Update. Today I noticed that my chrome molding around the tight turns had begun to crack. Tiny little cracks. Have to be close to see it but annoying. Still holding out for a one piece chrome metal assembly.
