or 97 trunk lid and GenIIs.

finding a nice trunk lid will be the hard part, I might also buy some decent second hand 97 tails and mod them clear see which I like best GenIIs or Clear then sell the other.

Red outs aren't that bad, at least better than any ricer lights.

I think the second best thing to do other then red/clears is to tint out the amber and the reverse. Because it still can pass as OEM.

Going to try body mod to 95 trunk to fit Gen II's soon! Red clears too sheepish been there done that!

We mod our cars to be unique and different, but if everyone does the same mod (red/clears)

personally i think that the dtm would be the cheap way to do it and look deacent and not rice b/c nowadays red clears go for too much cash unless the whole klearz thing goes through

i dont know why everyone still thinks that we have to shell out $400 to get red clears now. thanks to jackiss all we need for them is a set of altezzas.

but as far as my opinion- i think your best bet is a personal chioce between tinted tails and red clears. but only because you have a black car, any other color and it would be red clears all the way.

i agree with thakin... red clears are ehhh. im not nuts about the tinting of the top part of the taillights either. ill just wait till i have some money then get a 97'-99' trunk lid and then get the 97'-99' red/clears. those are niiiice
