If it was me I'd leave the taillights stock but if you really want to do it right I'd say get them professionally painted instead of the overlays cuz it'll look a lot better in the long run.

I have been to a few shops that paint taillights. I really like how they look. However, the paint can't be removed once is it applied. Which would suck if I ever got pulled over for having tinted taillights. BlueBatmobile uses high quality, 7 year rated vinyl. Plus I think they look good too. I'm not sure though. Can anyone chime in who has/had painted taillights?

Lance (1cleanG) had painted tails. I think he ordered overlays at first but didn't like how they looked or messed up when putting them on and just had them painted.

To your original question, I like the gtr style better. I've been considering the GTR style overlays for my coupe but I don't really like that the tint offered for the style I want is so dark. I just want a subtle shade darker.

HAHA weakkkkkk! I wish I had the money to upgrade but with the new house I just got I'm putting a good amount of money into furnishing the home so a new car will have to wait for now

On a plus side I scooped up a new 47" Toshiba LCD 240hz tv for dirt cheap brand new WOOP WOOP!! haha.

Sup everyone! Hope you're all doing well. After a couple months wait we finally got a brand new family vehicle. Tina and I picked up a 2010 GMC Terrain pretty much fully loaded. The ride is nice and compliant but best of all there's lot of room to stretch in contrast to the G or mazda 3 Now I need to get some 20s for it

Looks nice Tevi. What size are those stock wheels? Definitely looks like you could go bigger

Thx Peng. The stock are 17s. They had optional 18s or 19s for an additional fee but I figured I was most likely going aftermarket so I saved the money upfront to put it toward a set of 20s. Now I just gotta find one that Tina will also like.

Very nice, Tevi! I just got to South Dakota today and was riding around in my aunts Terrain. (hers has the 19s on it though) and it is definitely a sweet ride.

Glad to see you liked it!
