if you change your 3rd brake light (clear if you get chrome tails, tint it dark if you get carbon) i think you could make it look nice. i think those tail lights with one giant "meatball" light in them lookcorny but some ppl like them.

on that topic i just ordered tyc black tail lights from ebay. i ordered a clear third brake light too. my stock one is cracked. so ill either leave it clear since the reverse lights are near the top - or tint it wiht nigh shades or go legit and mix some black with some clear coat and spray it. i did it legit on my blazer and my buddys stratus. they look nice. the good news is these tail lights add just as many horespower as ebay intakes right? lol.

those are the same tails i have i like them but not as much now that ive painted my car blue. i think blue and chrome go good together but i think if anything ill tint out the tails so i can go with a darker theme for my car and then get the black depo headlights... i might get those before i start saving for the turbo just cuz i hate my headlights..

but est you can just ask if its too rice show us the ones you want to get.. cuz i think mine are pretty ricey but there aftermarket, what you expect, i like spuds though exspecially after he made them 3d or watevr

yeah i was going to link to those one but didnt those look nice but if your going toward less rice then you probably should get stock looking ones but if you dont care (like Me) then get watever you want

but i was looking at those ones and if i got them i would have to do the same thing spud did cuz that looks tough

and deffinantly change the third break light like FSU said.. i havent done that yet but im going to soon

rice would be going the cheap route and trying to make something new and it actualy being all "gettofied"
