opinions on best looking taillights for MY car...its about flow

first off everything to me is about flow. i have a black and white theme on my car (exterior, interior, and engine bay) and have the grid style tails now with black outs. it flows well but i think i need something different.
my wheels are getting replaced by black 5 spoke wheels with a polished dish (well they are gunmetal but getting painted)

i have three options im considering...

1. leave the blackouts
2. pull the blackouts and do the "red tail light mod" to my grids
3. get an old style set of tails and do what a couple have done (im using Grabiod as an example)

pics of my car to get the flow

Man... I am seeing a trend here. Taillights are all the rage now it seems. I'll be doing a GTA taillight conversion soon so add me to the list.



I'm with the Hawaiian. The ones you have looks great although I do like what our Danish brother has done.

camaroguy, i had your car as a background on my desktop a while back beautiful man, beautiful...i'm hoping to do something similar to your car with my '89 Iroc coupe, like the hawks spoiler, and a different hood maybe, and some deep dish rims, although i think i'm going with the Ultra Blue from my Z28

if you could get away with it.... do the camaroguy/graboid's setup

i would have but it probly would have been illegal as the turn signal wouldnt shine thru

so i did the red tail light mod.
