Default Tail Light Vinyl Design, Need Opinions!

Hi fellow 3IS owners! I joined the forum a few days ago and this is my first thread, please excuse me if I'm breaking any rules.

As title says, I need your opinions on the vinyl design I'm thinking of.
I currently have vinyl done under my tail lights as the pic

and I'm thinking about adding some more vinyl around the top as well so I photoshop the pic so you have an idea of how its gonna look.

Please let me know what you think and maybe some suggestions on other vinyl designs
I'm afraid of over-doing the vinyl so I need your help
btw the vinyl is going to be gloss black.

Thanks guys!

to be honest, in my opinion, I don't like it, also the bottom pic is over kill. just my two cent's, it is your car. I'd probably vinyl all of the chrome trimmings.

I would leave it the way it is. But like others said... bottom is overkill, so If i have to choose one, top.

With no other mods on your car it looks odd. Reminds me of those chola chicks who paint their eyelashes up the side of their face. But hey its your car.

I wouldn't add more eye liner to the rear. It's ok the way you have it, not more.

Speaking of mods… I ordered the TRD diffuser, it should be here within 4 weeks.

Nigel JDM Parts is taking order now for all parts include in TRD package, you can order them separately. Nigel told me wait time is about 3-5 weeks.

Believe or not, your thread inspired me to wanna put on those magnaflow mufflers but the duel tips I'm going to get are not from TRD, just something similar to that.

Stay tuned!

ikr! I went to many muffler shops and all the muffler shops are super excited and interested to work on this car and offer me some good deals, two magnaflow mufflers and dual tips on both sides for $390.
