Default 2GS smooth trunk photos

Hi guys. Ive seen 2 cars with the inner tail lights removed and smoothed over, but they were both black. I was hoping someone would have a photo of either a gold or silver gs done like that, or a photoshop even? I did search, could only find diys to take the lights out but no photos. Cheers.

I say stick with the inners. Thats what makes the GS stand out so much compared to other cars!

+1 on that, everytime i see one with shaved inners it makes the car loos so bland.

I have never been a fan of the shaved inner tail lights either. It looks too much like a old Accord rear end to me.

The inners aren't shaved, but I nearly died when I saw this one:

If it is, it's a good one... They even photoshopped in an idiot holding a camera where the license plate should be!

Not going to be moving the license plate, that looks hideous to me, sorry to owner. I am liking the idea of shaved inners though, looks super clean. I was thinking of doing this on a serialnine trunk.

Aye, it is unfortunately real. The vehicle was actually for sale on these forums in 2007.
