i would like it if it had the upper part of the circle painted but even then only a little because outside the circle matches everything else, no contrast whatsoever.

Just $.02

The all chromes give too much contract to the body color. I think the Black/ chrome would go better with Grey Lustre.

OH NO, now someone is gonna mention the lexus rx now...thats all we need..another pointless thread. oops, already did!

In regards to the taillights...it looks photoshopped or the picture is bad, anyhow not for me. I say nay. i would go with SE taillights. Why don't you swap your lights every 6 months, it will be like those cell phone color faceplates...but on a car!

I'm not really feeling it. Too much chrome area vs the dark color of the car... Like maximazero said there's too much contrast.
Also you'll get pulled over for not having a red reflector like soonerfan said.

I just went out and shined a flashlight on my spoiler light....it does not qualify as a "reflector"...doesn't really reflect anything.

Those tails might look only "bad" and not "terrible" if the car was pearl/white...but on a dark color, "heinous" is an appropriate term. Plus the "illegal" factor does not add to the appeal.

Father knows best...

Yeah that was definitly a style 5 years ago on civics, but not now. Sorry man I think they look horrible. Just paint a part of them red and they will look 100 times better.... plus you won't get a ticket with them.

I agree with everyone that the SE tail lights look much better (my wife also agrees with everyone). However ill give you credit for having a crappy picture and say that they may look alot better in person.

Maybe it is a Vegas thing. Everyone at work and wherever I go, keep telling me that they like em. Maybe I just posted bad pictures of it.... I dont know, I think I might keep em on there since no one has em, and if a cop pulls me over,then I will take em down. I kept my stock ones just in case... Thanks though

When the guy in the next office from me asked me if I thought his new Pontiac Aztec was cool, I said "yeah, it's pretty sweet." I didn't want to dis his new vehicle that he was proud of, and since he likes it, i figured what's the harm of a white lie?

Maybe your friends and co-workers are doing the same thing to you.
