Should I return to stock tailights?

[Blacdout96]

Well, ive been pondering for alittle while now if I should use stock taillights in my car. I love the ones I have now, but I dont watn people to think I riced out my car in any way, but im trying to stay to the blacdout theme I've been going for. What do you guys think, the onesi have now, the 93-96 stock ( I have those) or the 97-02 style.

which ones are the ones you have now? The pic with the black car?

i have a 97 and i love the taillights on it...i actually bought a set of 93-96 taillights to put on my car, then i realized how much in demand the 97-02 taillights were so i kept those...i personally want to get the export taillights when i get the extra cash...

[edpontiac91]

Stay with the ones in the TOP picture. They fit the BLACKOUT LOOK better than the others. The worse looking one is the center picture(STOCK). :shifty:

If you want to go an inexpensive route I would niteshade the tail lights you currently have.

[Tru2Chevy]

Yea, I say break out the niteshades. Either do the lights that are on the car now, or do your stockers, and sell the ones that are on the car now.

Nightshade the stockers or stay with the current look. The rest of your car crushes any 'ricer' thoughts.

Its because of those ridiculously sexy pictures.

[chrisfrom nj]

[NJSPEEDER]

[maroman88]

might trade ya if your interested

[quasar34]

i'm not a fan of the lights on your car right now.. i'd say go with the 93-96 style lights with blackouts or niteshaded like maroman said...

hahah i say ditch both the black ones and stock....

clear tail lights = speed...everyone with a civic knows that! so clear tail lights ftw!

hahah im kidding...i would agree with everyone and try nite shades on the black tails

[bcgetfresh]

i like the ones you have on their now, its looks good with your setup so i dont think its ricer at all

[qwikz28]

yeah dude, what did you end up doing?

[01SS]

Top pic are the ones. I dont think they look riced out if they were all chrome maybe but not those ones. They fit the theme very well.

[ls1ssws6]

IMO the 97+ ones look best...the ones you have now look kinda ricish but whatever floats your boat

[Blackbirdws6]

I'd stick with your stockers and maybe throw a little VHT on them to go with your black theme. I think that would look great.

Smoked is the way to go!

I like the looks of the top picture. Gives it a personal touch without any ricer feeling to it. I also like the looks of the nightshades on the stock lights. Definately a blacked out look there.

[Jam]

keep the tails you have now. but nightshade them

[String]

stock with covers or nightshade.

[lastcall190]

Love the 97-02 style. I nightshaded my old TA's tails the first night I had the car hahaha. Looks awesome on a black car, especially with tints and some nice wheels.

Definitely nightshade your tails and 3rd brake light; don't get the GTS covers.
I just did mine w/out the reverse lights (looks nasty) but for you I would just nightshade it all. It's up to you if you want it to be shiny or flat like mine . . .
Flat nightshade FTW.
