Photoshopped Clear Tailights

For everyone wondering what clear tailights might look like on a thirdgen. Probably not the best example but a starting point.

The Euro style tail lights...like the ones in the pic look outa place. I think they look good on most imports...sry I know I will be flamed for that one. I dont think that clear tail lights or euro style were meant for camaros or TA's. I do think that if you own an import and want to mod the exterior, that they make a great addition. Other than that, they dont belong on other cars. Even though I have seen them on a stang...which looked pretty good. I dont look at them as rice, but more as personal preference. Those look wierd though.

No. To each his own, and the same goes for me so......thanks for taking the time to make that, but I think it would look FUCING UGLY.

Well, I said I would keep an open mind until I saw a pic, and my mind is closed. Those look terrible. I know its only photoshopped, but I can't even imagine them looking good.

I dont see any pics, so i made my own. Karps TA, I hope you dont mind, I used a pic of you car, and im not sure whose IROC this is, but they're both freakin awesome. Anyways, i photoshopped the stock lenses clear, because I agree with many of you guys that euro style tail lights wouldnt look right on a thirdgen.

To each their own, but in my opinion I dont like them at all. Not the photoshop job (nice cutting, although i can tel you just desaturated/inverted colors ), but just the clear lights in general. I think MR IROC-Z's car looks awesome with his tinted lenses. Those do however look better then the original bug-eyed image at the top.
