They don't hassle me at all with my AVS covers on. Just a bitch to keep the right side on the car. I had to use double sided tape on the right side only.

In my opinion, the brake lights light up fine. Not too bright but, haven't had any probs with anyone behind me seeing them.

alright cool. yeah because i live in the suburbs and the cops around here have nothing really much to do.

They don't pull me over for them, but when they pull me over for my loud exhaust they hassle me about it and when i show them that the light shines through fine they just give me a warning (gotten about 3 or 4 now I think).

Fine to me, you can really notice the difference at night when compared to other cars on the highway.

I wouldn't do it to any color 4th gen.
The T/A more so than the Camaro. The tails are just too unique to cover up.

I went for a dark look with my car. Couldn't bring myself to cover my tails....or put black wheels on it. Completely blacked out doesn't look right.
