    GTS makes slotted ones which I had on before I actually got my tail-lights smoke tinted from the inside. The GTS slotted covers are pretty nice and easy to install. Can't recall offhand where I picked them up, but it was online somewhere. If they make slotted ones, I am sure they make the solid kind too. The solid's are illegal in some states so I would check up on that before purchasing.

    I believe that it's an option provided by:
    www.clearcorners.com

    ...which, despite its name, is not a ricer site. They have some really cool stuff on there.

    The carbon fiber tail light covers dutchie posted above are by far the nicest I've seen on ANY vehicle, but $300+ is WAY out of my budget for something like that.

    I agree with Tone - safety should be a serious consideration when purchasing mods for the VX. As much as I love the look, blacked out headlights and taillights are illegal for a good reason. They're fine for show cars, though!

    mbeach - it's hard to think of a practical civilian application for something like that, but it would be fun as hell to hook them up on a 4x4 for some dark offroad fun!

    I purchased a set of the "striped" covers...awesome and really dark. They are available from GTS (Catalog # GTS121962-SY). Still legal in all states and they look just like the ones Dutchie has posted,without the carbon fiber look.

    Got the GTS smoke covers adn removed the huge GTS stickers but after one week one seems to be coming loose. Anyone had this issue and if so reco a good adhesive that will not harm the stock outer lens but tough enough to withstand the hot sunny weather daily here in FL??

    I used the spray on tint and it made the back end look sweet. I masked it up and only did the turn signal and back up light. It looks sweet. I will get pics up for you if you want.

    Hope you used the alcohol packet to clean the lens. If so, just keep pressing the spots that are lifting. Mine did that at first , but have been on for a year with no probs.
