will 2014 tail light and cover swap to a pre 2014 car???

Id like to swap the rear tailight setup to an older gen5 camaro. Is it possible or are quarters different? From eye balling the two at different times it appears it could work. Anybody confirm this???

You would have to replace the entire trunk lid as well.

Yes, you can do a swap, but as shown on the link 2 posts above, it would be pricey.

It took me this many years to like the car but I still cant stomach the tail lights. Just hidious and im sure its what shorted the sales numbers as well.

Now who has pics and details on the 69 light swap??? That im interested in to see.

That's why it's a good idea to include the quote you are responding to in your post. It's helpful to the conversation.
