The lights are different on the Cobalt seeing as the Corvette's reverse lights are at the bottom of the bumper and not on the trunk lid. I'm wondering if you'd use the same setup or just eliminate the reverse lights all together.

I didnt really think about that but If it would look decent i would put them on the bumper like the vette has it.

ehhhh... doesn't seem like its worth it to me. I think theres a lot more appealing tail lights out there than the corvettes. Maybe vette lights with some led's in there, that could be pretty sweet.

I hate corvettes, ugly car imo, and the tailights probly worst . Like Ex said theres alot better tail lights out there, I was thinking about fabricated mazda's lights or skyline lights into mine. But its your car, do what you want. You gotta drive it

I always though Toyota Subra tail lights would look cool on a Cavelier.

I have skyline tails


and btw, its alot more work than u think.... so a "good" price might not be the kind of good price your thinking....




Re: Corvette taillight conversion.

if you are going to do the conversion, do the whole rear end conversion. what i mean by that is to fab up a vette bumper w/lights so the rear is one full piece and the trunk lid is small and flips up (like jeremy varner did to his trunk).

good price usually equals shotty work.

custom fabrication like that isn't cheap.
