Excellent fit! Good quality product from aVs. These are uber easy to install. Completely covers taillights with no gaps near the edges of the light and bumper meeting point. Since these vehicle taillights have odd angles with the contours of the car body, this is where fitment can be tricky. Takes some patience and would recommend a dry run until you can get them to completely cover the light. Pay attention to the edge alignment, not the aVs logo. If the aVs logo is angled strange with a perfect fit, it can be removed with a plastic-friendly solvent and immediate wash/wipedown, problem solved (removed mine before installation). If you can't eyeball it, I'd suggest you get them lined up to total covered surface, tape the cover to the tail light (masking tape or painters tape) where the tailshade doesn't cover, cut the tape CAREFULLY with a razor where the shade edge ends and the taillight meets on the taillight face, remove the cover, pull the lining off the adhesive on the tailshade and reinstall permanently while realigning the cut tape edges/corners and voila! I used these to cover my LED "circle" tails to cover the side of the taillight for added effect and "upscale" appearance. The adhesive is not as visible when applied to these types of taillights upon illumination, but I can see where other taillight setups where that could be an issue.

The tailshades were easy to install and being that my Cobalt is black, they really give it that "stealth" look that I wanted!!!
The only drawback which really isn't a big one is that the manufacturer did not make them long enough on the sides and you can still see a little of the red tailight; but nothing that a little black electrical tape can't fix!

I just purchased this product last week. Installation is very easy, however there are some things I'm not happy with. (1) You can see the adhesive tape when your taillights are lit. (2) The tailshades aren't long enough. You can still see some of your taillight in the very back. Other than that ... They look great during the day.
