Default Tail light center section ideas

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...

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. . .
