Default Trans Am tail light Mod

I saw the tail lights on GrnDragons car and really like them. Just wondering what this would look like done in LPM on my car. Wanted to see what you all thought about it[IMG][/IMG] If I do it it would be both tail lights and the filler pannel in the middle getting painted LPM then clear coat.
Or I have been thinking if Night Shade as well

Isn't the bottom of his car close in color to light pewter metallic? It might be silver, or metalic grey or whatever, but close enough... so it would look really similar to his.

I think they look cool, but I wouldn't do it on my car.

I voted to leave them alone. I think that pic you posted is absolutely horrible looking.

Do it. If you don't like it, then strip the paint and polish or night shade them.

in my opinion, vht would look good if done properly and not totally blacked out but i think that pic you posted looks hideous ... but it's your car, do what makes you happy... i voted to leave them alone... i think the lights look great as is, i would just polish the center section and be done with it

x2 mine is pewter i blacked out all the lights except the tails and it looks great because the black around the red matches the ws6 emblem and decal and all the black flows together..
