I have been wanting aftermarket tail lights for my SVT contour for some time now. I was at my local Best Buy when i knoticed a Cavalier with aftermarket tail lights. I know this may sound funny but the corner tail lights on it looked like it would fit perfect onto my contour corner tail lights. Now i know there is going to be some body work that would need to be done in order to make them fit! I was just wanting to know if anyone has tryed it or thought of it?
Give me some feedback and if someone is good in photoshop maby they could post a pic.

I think it would look hidious...
Anything is possible with body work...
You would have to get the pre-98 trunk to make it even look half way non-atrocious, because otherwise you'd have altezza lights on the outside and the big red reflector everywhere else. It would look terrible. If you want to try it, by all means go for it. Too much of a hassle and I think it looks crappy.

Corvette taillights on a Mitsubishi Eclipse Rice-mobile don't look pretty. 
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

I've thought alot about this lately and I'm really considering doing it in the future. No chrome, clear ricey crap.
To me, those tail lights are almost like a stock Pre-98 but with some added style. Maybe it's just me, I don't know.

I think those would look good on the 'Tour. Nicely understated, yet better than stock.

It would be interesting to see if it works. How much would this investment cost you? You can always return them i suppose if it doesnt fit how you want it too.
3L process done

What if you took and cut the Tail lights in half separating the back up light and stop light. Then take that red reflector on the SVT trunk and shave and fill it in (then paint it back)leaving only the carbon fiber tail blinking lights. I too have a Black SVT and was looking at putting the carbon fiber one's on mine.
