I have AutoVentShades(slots) on my truck tail lights, I love them. Should be easy enough to spray-paint yourself. Just make sure your color is right!!!!!Lariat#1

I have the GTS slotted tail light covers on my flareside. They are clear smoke colored, but I scuffed them up with some sandpaper and painted it with plasticoat color match spray paint and clear coat. Looks pretty good. I will have them repainted professionally when I get some more paint work done to level the cost, but they look great for now.

Most of the plastic slotted tailight covers come black but any of them can be painted to match the vehicle. A nice add on that doesn't cost to much. You can get these at your local auto supply store. I got mine at pep boys.

Thanks for the feedback...

I bought the AVS (auto vent shade) ones. Good price and they fit like a glove. Also, they are countoured the same as the grooves in the lens...so they look like factory. They are being painted blue to match and goin' on soon!
