Should I return to stock tailights?

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.




the ones I have now




when I had my stock lights on



and those are the 97-02, so tell me guys, what do you like more?

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...

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.
