I think you should photoshop it first.

In some places it is illegal not to have a working one. Plus I think the in the wing lites look cool as hell. If you want to modify it, try black out, or maybe "blue out" so that it blends in the daytime. Try to photoshop it and see how it would look. Then maybe paint the lens blue. the lite will shine thru when stopping yet be invisible when not in use.

I think you should get a whole new wing. Your doesn't apeal to me at all.
What I would get is the stock 87 88 89 style spoiler with the third brake light.

Good luck with that

If it was painted blue then the light would shine blue also...and that would also be illegal in some, if not all, states.

Don't forget the obligatory 'needs 91-2 gfx' comment too

I'd say ditch it. I personally like the universal led brakelight that comes on the 'made for 3rdgen' 4thgen wing. Low key but, still there/effective. It's a unversal light found on alot of import spoilers/wings.....

The light isnt bad, but the spoiler doesnt go well with the car. You need a ram air hood or jongbloed hood to balance out the spoiler. Other than that it looks alright as is. Oh yeah license frame Have any true side shots of the car? I've thought about the same spoiler for my car.

keep it. it will look cool at night.

maybe get blackouts for your taillights and put a layer of window tint over your third brake light.

ok. i'm saying keep it because of safety reasons, and its extra time and work to shave it (not a lot but some).

looks good with or without. i might get another lense off a junkyard car and black it out. that would look cool imo.

by the way, love how your gfx have that blue to white bottom.

thanks
