Default After market tail lights?

I have stock tail lights on my 3800 series, but the one has a small crack in it (it was there when i bought it), so I was thinking about getting new ones. All the one I've seen on eBay I think are too ugly. Anyone have any ideas or have after market tail lights that look good? I just put in black angel halo lights in the front, so I wanted something to compliment them in the rear.

The only aftermarket light I've ever liked are the LED ones, I think stan has a set. Otherwise I would look around for some good condition LT1 lights, they look the best (in my opinion) on the camaro's. You could also spray tint any tail light, then the style doesn't matter.

Here's my Camaro. Just some cheapo VHT with clear on it. You could get a set of cheapo aftermarkets or some faded stockers and make em look like this. Mine are full of moisture, can't tell

I think black l.e.d. tail lights tinted would look awesome. I've always thought about getting some but with a 97 the taillights are kind of a signature.
If you can get yourself a pair of euro spec it would be awesome but you have to hunt down a used pair and prob pay a pretty penny. (Off an imported camaro, not the circle ones you see on ebay)

My next set of tails will be the LED ones tinted professionally at the body shop (black paint with clear in it, much better finish). I've photoshoped them time and time again, and drool everytime.

E-mail me a pic of your camaro, straight from the rear. I can photoshop those in, or any other lights for that matter.

my email is jeepwagoneer@gmail.com

Aw thanks, I'll have to send it to you sometime tomorrow, it's too dark and dreary out now to take a picture. Thanks in advance. I'm very particular about things like this, it's easy to get it wrong and have it look really bad.

The pic you sent wasn't perfect for this, but after some touch up it seemed to not be too bad.
