tail light poll for my 95...

well, i've had regular chrome altezza's on my car for over a year and a half. i know many don't like them, but that's not what i care about right now. i think they look decent on my car but am kind of growing bored with them and unhappy with the overall quality. plus, the blinker is difficult to see so they kinda just get on my nerves. so...
(don't know how to make poll, moderators help?)
leave them the way they are...?

paint them body color(pearl white) on the inside...?

stock tails i just painted red:

what do people think of these? they came out pretty good but when i've asked people what they think after holding them up to the car, they say they're more boring than the altezzas.
opinions?

Well here is a picture of my painted altezzas. I like it.
I'm not a big fan of the way you painted your stock tails.
I would go painting the altezzas if you have the patience.

Try painting the altezzas and if it looks bad put your stock tails back in.
hacim105's car looks good painted. I have the stock red tails and there ok but make sure u clear coat over the red or they could get dull.

thanx for the opinions and tips guys...
the pic doesn't really do them justice. they came out a little darker than stock but look really clean. i'm really debating whether or not to do it. i don't want to appear too stock but it could be a good change. maybe i'll try it out for a few days and see if i like them or not.

I do like the look of painted altezza's given it matches the cars paint, BUT, it does look slightly chevy impala.

I say paint the altezzas... thats what I want to do to mine. The only thing to watch out for would be to make sure the paint matched the color of the car, or it could start to look really weird

Paint the altezza's, it looks more clean. And yea, IMO the painted tail lights are more boring than the alts.
