black stripe on my tail light

I recently got a new tail light since my other had a hole in it and one of my friends noticed to day that the one that origionaly came on the car (89 camaro RS) has a black stripe in the middle while the other doesn't. Can anyone tell me what year the one w/o the stripe came from? It looks kinda funny and I would like to get them to be the same...The one w/o the stripe looks a little better than the one w/ the stripe...I think..what do you guys think?

Which light has the stripe and which one does not? I have the same problem, one with the stripe and one w/o, i kinda like the one with better, but thats my opinion... If we have opposite lights would you want to do some sort of swap, like ill give you the light w/o stripe and you can give me your with stripe light as long as we have opposites of each other... so let me know which ones yours are, okay?

im feelin saucy now, I really want to get hold of the tail light assembly w/o the stripes...that would really clean up my car....

shaved handles, shaved doorguards, 3 in drop, and im thinking of fabbing the 97 camaro rear where it reads CAMARO in indentation..putting that where my license plate is....perhaps, perhaps not
