Default Trans Am rear treatment idea. Opinions?

I'm always looking for subtle mods for my car. Trying to think of something different to do on the rear. Here is a hastilly edited picture. Thoughts?

That just ain't working. Get your taillight blackouts, black out your filler panel, do the CETA mod and call it a day.

Some people have shaved the pointiac, doesn't really look that different. I definitely wouldn't do whats in the pic, makes the rear look cross-eyed.

I say paint everything white except the honey comb pattern on the lights and do the ceta mod then you will be different.

I thought about that but that isn't much more white than what is in the picture above. And I'm not a fan of the ceta mod, especially on white cars. I have seen some that look fine but I personally think it screws up the lines of the car.

Well, I went back to your post since I had this idea before. Not sure that it is any better but here are a couple quick edits.

Well, I'm trying to think of ways to tone down the black on the back of the car. The only other option I can think of are the modified tails from the 93-97. So that they appear clear but I haven't seen that actually installed on a car and I don't think it would look great. I am very interested in seeing it though.

Well i can see what you are going for. The photoshop is not helping you though. lol I think it would look good. It's hard to picture it with the pics above.

Yeah, I think it would look better in real life than what I am capable of coming up with quickly. I know I'll never win any photochop award. Just trying to get the ideas across.

Doesnt look right. I think the reverse lights look out of place without the black filler. that whole area just looks too plain.

It looks like a sad guy wearing sunglasses. So no, not a good idea.

I'm wondering if it would look better if the car was black.
