    Default Custom Rear Garnish - Yay or Nay?

    Wanting your opinions on whether I should buy this boot garnish...
    I'd paint it white obviously and put a HSV badge on instead of the Holden one...

    At the moment I have a stock VP garnish on the rear... so what would look better?

    I like this one, except the bit that goes over the boot lock...

    yeah, not sure how it would look with the standard lights on a white car, but it would be better than the reflectors on the bumper
    could make a mean looking car.

    Nooooo, you cant change from normal to clear, yucky yucky. I think the garnish looks pretty kool, but keep stock lights or calais ones, I like calais.

    I wouldnt classify it as hella cheap. He's asking 5 times what I paid for my VP garnish... It really depends how much postage costs...

    Clear tail lights remind me of crappy taiwan lights.Wen you crash your car NRMA puts taiwan lights on because they are cheeper but they fade and end up looking bad. I have seen a fair few VNs out there with one good tail light and one faded taiwan light.
    Australia. Love it or leave it
