    Default Whaddya reckon??

    Mucking around with some styling ideas for meh VK in the future.

    When I get it repainted (same colours),

    was thinking of getting some of these tail lights...



    Then was thinking I could get a new center piece made out of fibreglass for between the lights same as the origional one except having it all smooth instead of the horizontal division / gap in the old one, painting it same colour as bumpers and putting this sticker on the new centerpiece.



    Not too sure on colours tho :

    black center, silver sticker or

    silver center , red sticker (car colour) or

    red center, silver sticker...

    Whaddya reckon??
    Tacky like knightrider or come up ok?

    i have seen a vl with those clear tail lights with a black garnish, and 1 with a grey garnish, both looked silly. only way for them to not look silly is having a matching garnish to the taillights, then all of it would look silly. Lol so i dont think ya gunna win but hell, give it a shot man, never know till ya do it

    As bigdaz says, if you go to a plastics supplier they should be able to bend you up a new garnish out of similar material to suit the tail light then you would have a sticker made up for what you can and stick on it.

    As for the looks... each to their own its your car if you like it go for it.

    cheers

    LOL - I am easily lead, and the more I look at it the more I think those lights look like crap!

    I think I will save my money for the V6
