I just changed my reverse lights yesterday to the PIAA extreme whites. Very nice. I also applied my reflective black "Pontiac" decal to the hatch. I also debadged the hatch. This all took about 1/2 an hour or so. The last part of this little facelift to my rear was to apply black reflective rings to the reverse lights to match the "Pontiac decal." The ring decals are NOT reflective pinstriping tape. I didn't want these to be looked at and someone see a pinstriping tape seem. So, I cut the circles myself from a stock sheet of refective black vinyl using a drinking glass, an exacto knife and a dremmel tool. Then I just applied and centered vinyl decal, cleaned up the edges and that's it. Total cost was about $25 bucks and about 2/12 hours time. Not too bad for a little (removed) lift.

Re: (ramenboy...)
Yeah, I actually saw your fog lights while searching, but I I've had the materials for this long before that. I am planning to do it for the fogs as well. If it's clean, I think it looks pretty trick - sort of like a poor man's angel eyes!
Re: (WaveAction)
Thanks. I think I'm going to put the pontiac symbol back on in the middle of the hatch below the license plate with the reflective black overlay. (Kinda like the new Vibes.)

Re: (waveresponder)
Nice. I guess great minds think alike. I have all the materials except for the overlay. I won't do it until I get the decal, but I'll definitely put a pic up when it's done!
