    Ok just bought my gtp around a month ago , Love the car its the best of both worlds for a dad who need a family car , Now i have the family car , but also got the power and speed i want when im alone. Freakin Love the gtp. Dont even miss my camaro. Anyways Its a Black 99 gtp, I just figured it would look better with darker tails , Gonna get some black outs for the fronts. I think i went a little too dark , i wanted to stop at 2 coats but a dragon fly landed on the left rear and got stuck, had to wetsand again to fix and do a 3rd coat. Let me know what ya think. Thanks chris

    I think it looks real good. It is really dark but since you have a black car it looks great.

    That was my 1st concern, They where perfect after 2 coats , just had the smoke look. Atleast i have 1 more set of stocks , so worst case i get a warning and throw those on or do 2 coats to them LOL

    Looks good. You should take a picture of the whole rear end so we can get a good idea of how dark they really are. The black car can make them look alot darker than they really are.

    Now do it with the brake light on and the running lights at night to see how the light output is.

    Looks sick but I think it might be a little too dark for the Fuzz. One of the better VHT jobs that I have seen.

    Yeah, you're going to NEED brighter bulbs. Those are WAY to dark for any cop. But they do look extremely good. Wire up some LEDs and tada.
