I personally don't think the stockers could look much better, unless they had some of the jewel lense-styled ones. The exports are pretty decent, but nothing else should even be an option because they're all hideous.

Yeah the exports are the best looking. I didn't notice until I saw comparison pictures side by side. They line up exactly with the vertical and horizontal lines of the trunk.

I like exports as well but they are just too expensive.

I think a light application of VHT, or perhaps VHT with the reverse lights masked, are good alternatives.

On certain colored cars a light application of VHT with clear could make a huge impact. Total cost with zero risk is about $50 (used lamps off the bay and a can of vht/clear).

I had tinted stockers on my car before I found a deal on the exports. Tinted looked good but I'm really liking the exports now that I have them.
