2fst4u is an unknown quantity at this point
okay, so anything but stock is lame? that's basically what you're saying troyer. most people who have stickers on their cars (3rd brake overlays, and olds window signatures) and 7 color side markers are considered "ricey"
as far as taillights, i believe that some "euro tails" look ok. but, you shouldn't get clear tails just becuase they make them for your car. that's stupid. what i did was to spray my tails with clear red paint. this gave them the red look without the amber reflector. i used testors translucent candy apple red, with wetsanding of 1000 and 2000 between coats, and 3 coats of clear, wetsand in between but not on last coat. they turn out a little darker than stock, but not bad at all. i'm using some white vinyl over the center lights so you won't be able to tell. you could also use red vinyl laminate.
