Love the Recaros - Makes Corvette seats even more pathetic.

Hate the tails - Are those OEM? They look blacked out.

 

Hmm I'll thinka bout it. Not really big on nitrous but we'll see.

Lol 3 years yes, but 10 years definitely.

Yeah the recaros are amazing. And yeah the tails are the OEM taillights. They are all blacked out now.

 

How is that legal in Virginia? I know it's OEM, but I remember getting shit for my blackout covers on my Mustang in high school.

 

^they are red led(or something bright) ovals...they are bright, you can definitely see them on the road...not the most attractive imo though

 

They are actually very bright when hitting the brakes. I didn't know if I liked them at first but they have really grown on me. And at night they look pretty tight.

 

The plastic over the LED's is actually not blacked out. If you look closely there are 2 red reflectors down low on the rear bumper. The 2011-2012 doesn't have these because the tail lights have built in reflectors. I believe the DOT requirement is a certain area of red reflector on the rear of all vehicles so they can be seen on the side of the road if parked at night. Most cars have the reflector built into the tail lights. If they don't they have to add seperate reflectors similiar to the 2013 Mustang. That is why blackout covers are illegal. They typically cover the reflective part of the tail light as well and the illuminated part. they also make the illumination very hard to see in direct sunlight.
