I really need some opinion...

On my tail lights...! I'm wondering if there's a lot of you who really like those APC tail light painted?

( just copy and paste in your browser )

I really think that when the car will be on the road I'll put back the stock red tail light...
The main reason is that I really care about details on my car...and those APC tails don't fit right. There's no way to fix it and I'm really worried about it....they give the car a great look...but when we look close...we see some gap...GrRRrrRRr

So...I just want some opinion...does those red tail lights look great on my car??

IMO i'd say ditch the Altezzas, even though its different that you painted them, i just don't like the circle thing.

Eric...
the STOCK OEM tails would look way better IMO...

and if you want...yea..you can put them on for shows...
but if i were you i'd go with the stock OEM's....

plus they are brighter...when your braking durring the daylight.

Put the factory ones back on for every day driving. Then put the ones you have on now on for show. Not too many people are gonna be staring at your car to find a gap between the light and the body.

Hey Eric, if you're worried about the gap b/w the light and body try removing the gasket that goes b/w the body and lens and see if that doesn't reduce that gap some.
