Default Taillight Mod...what do you think?

It's photoshopped, but I like it. Inspired by those ugly lights someone else posted.

It might be better if the amber portion of the taillight is painted red as well.

More than anything I'm trying to get the look of the newer Lexus models with the clear strip at the top and the rest red/amber..

Can anyone do a better photoshop of it? I would really like to see how it turns out.

Thanks!

your car has a much more dark feel to it, putting something clear on it would throw off the nice color.

I would enjoy normal 97ish tails with some aftermarket chrome surroundings...but paint the surroundings black.

Those ones posted look ALRIGHT at best, but that's just my stupid non-SC owning opinion. haha

Dark Red Pearl... I found out the other day that there were only 48 of them painted in this color

The Lexus guy could have been wrong though

clearing the top of pre 92-94 tails would look better, but not on those nice '97 tails. Just my .02 cents, btw would kind of wheels are those and specs? Thanks
