On an OB, imho the only thing you should put on is GTR style cause you need some red in there

That's so 1998!!


LOL, i've noticed a trend in head/taillights over the years. I remember growing up in the late 90's EVERYBODY had the GTS head and taillight covers..i mean EVERY truck, civic, mustang, etc. I used to see minivans with them.

In the early 2000's the CLEAR taillight trend came and took over. Everyone had clear tails and i remember many nights either seeing pink taillights in the distance, or wondering if someone was driving up the wrong way at me.

Mid-2000's....ALTEZZAS! They even started to appear factory OEM on some cars (altimas, IS250's, etc)

Late 2000's to now.... Smoke em if you got em!



Kinda funny how taillights follow trends like clothing. Nowadays, you see a car with GTS covers, or clear taillights and you think it's silly or out of style..but there was a day EVERYONE had them. Makes me wonder in 5-10 years what the next taillight trend will be?

the next taillight trend will be remove the light covers so its just a bulb. The next headlight trend will be hanging lanterns.

I still think those chrome headlight bezels look out of place with the rest of that car.

no tint. never really been a fan of the tinted tail lights unless the whole car is blacked out. but even then they look better just lightly tinted and not blacked out completely.

I went the way of Blue Bat Overlays for my car. GTR style. Looks good on the Coupe but don't know how it would fair on a sedan. I think it improved the looks of my ride with all the other factors (Mods) I put into it. (Crappy cell pic sorry)

I have a light tint on my OB Coupe. IMO... I think dark/all black tint does not look good on any car. I really like the way my car looks with the tint.
