It might work if everything was striped (outer tail) instead of just the inner...

why so horrid? i don't see whats so bad about it. i think it would look cool with having the front light bezels painted black. i think the back lights on our cars are sooooo ugly.

the outer is supposed to be done too. the picture i pulled from the old thread was a progress picture where the guy had only done the inside one so far.

I hate the stripped tail lights with a passion. That's just my opinion though!

i wish i could see some in person to get a complete idea of how it goes with the car. i know it looks more like a grand prix or grand am, but i thought it was more original and safer than smoking the tail lights. i wonder how it would look if I were to simply trim the edges and not do the horizontal stripes?

If i was to do it i think i would use a cover and make them look kinda rounded instead of striped, and make them the same color as the car. The striped look is not my style but to each his own.

IMO it looks okay. A nice alternative to smoking the tails. In my year of being a member here, I had never seen this.
