Dood you're over a decade too late for this business. 1994 wants it's taillights back.

Like I said before, ghetto painting of things tells people "I can't afford real mods so this is how I compensate, with a $7 spray can and some crafty ideas".

I like to change things up once in awile, when I get tired of them I put the stock ones back on. Its like my underwear and my wife, I like to change them every so often.

Hmm, painted tails? Some look great like the OB coupe shown and I've seen them in IP that I like also, but since I installed my JDM tails they'll stay just the way they are....waxed to perfection!

I wonder if I should mod my Ford Pinto tails after my divorce? It might look cool.

I like mine, had them professionally done. Some will like them, others won't. I don't care really if you like them or not, it's my car and I like em.

I'm sorry man but that just kills the whole look of the car, looks like somebody dumped a bucket of tar over your tails.

Overlays are the best way to go, as long as they're cut and applied properly, because you can take em off if you get tired of em. And I agree, OB ONLY!

This is mine

I still prefer the ultimate clean look of no badges, and the blended in look of mine. But, to each his own...
