Taillight conversion (S-10)...which tails should I use?

I found some clear 2nd gen S-10 tails (94 and up), and I was thinking about those, but I wanna do something really nice....I also found some red/clear M3 tails, and that idea crossed my mind too...then of course there was my original plan for the F250, which was stock 6th gen SI tails....I'm thinking about this too much, I need opinions. So what should I do?

Oh yeah, FBI has skin combos for the tailgate/rollpan, and they've got flame cut tails that look sweet as hell, but I still don't know...HELP!

If you're gonna be keeping the truck for any length of time, I've always loved custom tails. I saw a truck one time that had a fibreglass rollpan, and he took some older Acura CL (I think?) tails, flipped 'em upside down, and molded them in. It looked sweet. But if you do that, then you obviously hafta fill the holes where the original tails were. Just an idea.

I've seen DA (Early 90's) Integra Tails molded into the bumper of an S10 and those looked pretty slick. Maybe Supra Tails? Anything long and skinny that can fit into the bumper should work. How about the BMW Z8 style gas tubes, but mounted vertically where the stock tails are.

Go with the classic theme: french some caddy tails in mold the tailgate in along with the roll pan so it looks clean and smooth, I was going to do it to my S-10 if I had more time.

Or better yet here is a Toyota Tacoma I found in Mini-Truckin' magazine from 1998 with Supra Tailights. That looks good too.

I really don't like the supra tails...I guess they're like altezza's, just a little too played out...I was thinking about going through www.fbimini.com and getting a custom skin done, something like this...
