I'll say two things that everyone else will be thinking:

1) PLEASE don't rice-up your beautiful new Magnum!

2) It is your car and only you can decide what will look good on it.

That said, no one seems to know of any of these types of lights for the Magnum yet, but many people have smoked their tails and they look GREAT. It looks good on all colors of the Magnum, but especially good on black or silver ones.

unfortunatly there are still no altezza style tail lights or any aftermarket tail lights at all for the magnum, been waiting for someone to make some carbon fiber altezza's myself, the smoked tail lights while they do also look great are very illegal and you won't pass inspection with them and likely will get pulled over eventualy so I personaly don't consider that an option.

the magnum's bolt pattern unfortunatly is 5-115 so there aren't many rims for it, though a lot of people go and stick 5-114.3 on them instead, it will physicaly fit on, just doesn't fit properly and could eventualy cause problems and vibration from not being centered properly.

I pin striped mine horizontally with 1/8 " black stripes (1/8" inch apart). I left the backup lights unstriped. It came out pretty good, sort of subliminal in a way. It took me about 1 hour per light. I'd try and post pictures but my pictures are always to large to post. Can anyone tell me why that is? How can i shrink them down?

I already think the tail lights are a little ricey. ..colored bulbs in a translucent lens. Id prefer it had actual red and amber opaque lenses myself.

I dont like the smoked on silver (like mine). I guess I dont like mixing and matching the chrome head and dark taillights

ya gotta at least smoke em.
The stock pinkish color is just too nasty to leave alone.
Color-matched lights always look cool too. If color-matching em, you may think about shaving them completely and flush-mounting lights of choice that illuminate through the paint. I've always liked hidden tails.
