Default Tail light center section ideas

well i was wondering and thought about trying some new things on the Trans am. so i searched and found a center section. and i have some ideas on what i wana do but i'm not shure what would look cooler black it all out or cut out the bird and light it up in red. maybe even light up the trans am in white. just wanted some opinions

all black is the way to go IMO. sleek and smooth.

I think the bird looks tacky right there - keep it in the 80s.

i won't even get into lighting the bird up...

^^Ya, I'm away from the game long enough to only come back and see guys eventually moving more and more into the euro look. Oh well.

The easiest thing to do would be put a red reflective vinyl logo back there. Looks lit up at night to people behind you.

Very easy with a relay and your choice of LEDs, neon or regular bulbs. . .

I think i'll be doing LED's i just have to wait for my center panel to get here and i can cut it apart to see what to do. it shouldn't be to difficult just me and power tools on my car i don't like that idea. thats why i bought one off of ebay but if i f it up i'll still be cussin
