What do you guys think?

I know my car is dirty but here are some pics just so you get the idea.

Blacked out.


Stock 93-96.


Or 97+.



Ive been running around with my tail lights blacked out for about a year now. I blacked them out with VHT niteshades. I havent had any trouble with police so far, but im sure i will and there is always the risk of getting rear ended because they are "too dark" even though they emit more light than regular tail light covers, and you can clearly see them in the day and at night.

But im just wondering what you guys think.

Re: What do you guys think?

Personally love the blackouts, but if you have to get rid of them, go with the 93+. The amber in the 98's suck.

Yeah, definitely blackout the light on the spoiler. It'll clean the back end up perfectly.

They are stainless steel. I got all of mine off the same guy on ebay. He makes great products. But here is another site that has the same stuff.

Re: What do you guys think?

blackouts look the best, i always wondered though what the rice altezzas would look like with backouts over them, thatd be different, and you really cant get made fun of for having rice tail lights because youll have the blackouts over them

p.s. those are some perty wide tires you got on the a** end of that beauty

Re: What do you guys think?

I say stay with the 93+ tail lights and spray a LIGHT coat of the VHT on them just so they are in between the darkout look and the stock light look. I had darkouts on mine until I almost got rear ended like 3 times, that was enough for me to change mine.

Just my 2 cents.

Thats exactly what i had in mind. Keeping the stockers and lightly tinting them for a smoked look instead of blacked out. Kind of like this, but not as dark.

Re: What do you guys think?

I also think that you should have them blacked out. If you decide not to, then the '93-'96 lights are the way to go.

Re: What do you guys think?

It would look perfect with some export taillights.
